Rent A Benjamin Franklin Reader

Synopsis

This collection of Benjamin Franklin's major writings includes a large piece of his classic AUTOBIOGRAPHY, as well as selections from other writings, including the immensely popular POOR RICHARD'S ALMANACK. Walter Isaacson selected the pieces, and he provides learned commentary on Franklin's life and works, as he did in his bestselling biography BENJAMIN FRANKLIN: AN AMERICAN LIFE. In Franklin's own words, we see him inventing (and reinventing) his life, as he embodies qualities that would come to define the uniquely American character: practical, popular, democratic.
