Translated into a dozen languages, printed in hundreds of editions, and read by millions of people, Franklin's autobiography has had an influence perhaps unequalled by any other book by an American writer. Written ostensibly as a letter to his son William, the autobiography offers Franklin's reflections on philosophy and religion, politics, war, education, material success and the status of women. This edition of the autobiography, prepared by the editors of "The Papers of Benjamin Franklin", is drawn with care from the original manuscript in Franklin's handwriting now in the Henry E. Huntington Library and Art Gallery. The introduction by Leonard Labaree places the autobiography in literary and historical contexts. In the foreword, Edmund Morgan writes about Franklin's dual allegiance as an American and a subject of an English king, and his emergence as a leader of the American Revolution. This edition also includes biographical notes, a chronology of Franklin's life, and an updated bibliography.
Benjamin Franklin was a writer, a philosopher, a scientist, a politician, a patriot, a Founding Father, an inventor, and publisher. He helped with the founding of the United States of America and changed the world with his discoveries about electricity. His writings such as Poor Richards' Almanac have provided wisdom for 17 years to the colonies.

图书馆借的 好多无意义的细节描写 总体来说还不错 做了两页摘抄。B.F对自己做的日程表和吾日三省吾身好像啊
评分第一次读时只觉惊为天人,发愿今后写自传时要以此为标准。后来渐渐意识到,自传是专门写给他叛逆的儿子看的,因此呈现的形象过于完美且单一。
评分能在如此众多方面作出成就也只有富兰克林一人了
评分自律 早行
评分He is the best demonstration of the old style American dream men -- industrious, lucky, astute, with subtle proudness.
