Description

Benjamin Franklin’s account of his rise from poverty and obscurity to affluence and fame has charmed each generation of readers since it first seemed. Begun as a choice of anecdotes for his son, the memoir grew into a history of his remarkable achievements in the literary, scientific, and political realms. A printer, inventor, scientist, diplomat, and statesman, Franklin was once also a brilliant creator whose wit and wisdom shine on each page. His Autobiography has deservedly turn into probably the most widely read American autobiography of all time—the self-portrait of a quintessential American.

Franklin was once a remarkably prolific creator, and is equally beloved for his humorous, philosophical, parodic, and satirical writings, parables, and maxims, which he published under an astonishing selection of pen names, including Poor Richard, the Busy-Body, and Silence Dogood. This hardcover edition of The Autobiography and Other Writings accommodates a varied number of these, including “The Kite Experiment,” “A Parable Against Persecution,” “Observations Concerning the Increase of Mankind,” “Rules for Making Oneself a Disagreeable Companion,” and “The Way to Wealth.”
