Aus der Bibliothek von Prof. Wolfgang Haase, langjährigem Herausgeber der ANRW und des International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT) / From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - Leichte Abnutzung, gutes Exemplar / Light wear, good copy. - Thick with legends and anecdotes, Benjamin Franklins life is probably the best-known story in all the American canon. The fifteenth child of a poor Boston family of seventeen, he traveled to Philadelphia, the city of brotherly love, to apprentice himself as a printer and wound up a wealthy man, self-educated, a scientist and writer who dedicated himself in mid-life to public service as an old Englishman, and then as an American. Franklin the journalist, civic planner, political agent, diplomat, and entrepreneur was uniquely American, our quintessential Yankee. Ever the chronicler and teacher, Franklin wrote an autobiography, ostensibly for his illegitimate son William, who was well educated, wealthy by marriage to a West Indies heiress, and loyalist to the end. Franklin never called it an autobiography but a memoirlucid, terse, deceptively simple, it has a strong filial message: Let your conscience be your guide. Apart from hurried additions when he was in his eighties, his story halts at 1757 after a falling out with his son. Missing, then, are his last twenty-five years, filled with duty and excitement as diplomat to Paris and London, internationally renowned scientist, and national statesman. Tracing his footsteps centuries later, Franklins most celebrated biographer, the English historian Esmond Wright, completes the task by drawing on Franklins most personal and insightful letters and writingseven making additions within the interrupted Autobiography (a small book) to give us the expository memoir that f ranklin intended. Here is the best introduction to Franklin, as revealing and as direct as Franklin himself, indeed as he wrote it.
