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.

读过他的传记再读他的自传多多少少觉得有点搞笑
评分觉得无聊吧,第一次没读完,这次读了不到一半还是读不下去了,就这样吧
评分第一次读时只觉惊为天人,发愿今后写自传时要以此为标准。后来渐渐意识到,自传是专门写给他叛逆的儿子看的,因此呈现的形象过于完美且单一。
评分禁不住想到知道上那个人问:请问本杰明富兰克林自传是谁写的。
评分人牛成这样 还挺谦虚
