The Compleated Autobiography of Benjamin FranklinRegnery Publishing, 2005 M11 1 - 256 páginas "Benjamin Franklin's celebrated autobiography, published after his death ... but it was incomplete. Franklin ended his life's story in 1757, when he was only fifty-one. He planned to write more ... but never did. He lived another thirty-three full, eventful, and dramatic years ... Franklin is one of the most fascinating of the Founding Fathers - a polymath like Jefferson, a practical statesman like Washington, and a cynic and wit beyond parallel. Now, at last, in The Compleated Autobiography by Benjamin Franklin, we finally get the rest of the story, in Franklin's own words. Faithfully compiled and edited from Franklin's papers by Dr. Mark Skousen - Franklin's descendant, acting as his devoted secretary - this is the closest we will ever get to Franklin sitting down in his study in Philadelphia, dipping quill into ink, and finishing his autobiography"--Publisher's description. |
