I don't know if I could've suffered through the 10 years of politics in England had I not been listening to an audio book. Other than that though, Franklin is a compelling story of the complex man that was Benjamin Franklin. A founding father of America and polymath, Franklin tries to show all aspects of the great man and display his vast knowledge in science, politics and literature. ( ) no reviews | add a review
Benjamin Franklin has as good a claim as anyone to be called the first real American. He was the nation's first tycoon and its first recognized spokesman abroad. When it came time to quit, however, he left the world stage to pursue his own interests without the least regret. What kind of man was this? This sharply insightful biography teaches us as much about Franklin as it does about our nation's history. No library descriptions found. |
