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.
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.

評分封面上的英文作者名、書名中的 Franklin 都寫成了 Franlin. 翻譯算一般吧。沒有逐頁對過。舉兩處隨手翻到的: > 這大概是一種自在隨意的表現吧。(p. 13) 原文是: > This's perhaps only negligence. > 所以,人類作爲理性動物崇尚實用便利,其原因在於實用能爲人們的所作...

14年暑假讀。本書告訴我何為偉人。可惜以天朝的條件,開國元老們不足以寫下他們的自傳。
评分圖書館藉的 好多無意義的細節描寫 總體來說還不錯 做瞭兩頁摘抄。B.F對自己做的日程錶和吾日三省吾身好像啊
评分實用主義世界觀的典型,果然區彆於盧梭這樣的苦逼哲學傢與奧古斯丁這樣的宗教狂熱分子,國傢領袖就是有國傢領袖的氣度啊 - -
评分文筆很好 老先生照片能上美元 果然及不平凡的 學習他的勤奮!可是也在質疑他過分功力的心理 看到後來情節變得很無聊。。裏麵的幾大訓誡倒是很好
评分能在如此眾多方麵作齣成就也隻有富蘭剋林一人瞭
