Summary
Summary
"Be in general virtuous, and you will be happy," advises Benjamin Franklin, and he was a man who lived up to his own words. Franklin’s Autobiography, one of the most regarded works in early American literature, began as a private collection of anecdotes for his son, but was soon transformed from reflective personal journaling into a work of national history. Filled with the inimitable nuances & wit of the inventor, philosopher, scientist and statesman, this engaging narration of Benjamin Franklin’s classic is as certain to delight modern readers as it did with his original audience.Editorial Reviews
Editorial Reviews
“Franklin’s is one of the greatest autobiographies in literature, and towers over other autobiographies as Franklin towered over other men.” —William Dean Howells
“The most widely read autobiography ever written by an American. It has served many Americans as it may have served Franklin—to define what it meant, what it had meant, and what it ought to mean to be an American.” —Edmund S. Morgan, emeritus professor of history, Yale University
