In this authoritative and engrossing full-scale biography, Walter
Isaacson, bestselling author of "Einstein "and "Steve Jobs," shows
how the most fascinating of America's founders helped define our
national character.
Benjamin Franklin is the founding father who winks at us, the one
who seems made of flesh rather than marble. In a sweeping narrative
that follows Franklin's life from Boston to Philadelphia to London
and Paris and back, Walter Isaacson chronicles the adventures of
the runaway apprentice who became, over the course of his
eighty-four-year life, America's best writer, inventor, media
baron, scientist, diplomat, and business strategist, as well as one
of its most practical and ingenious political leaders. He explores
the wit behind "Poor Richard's Almanac" and the wisdom behind the
Declaration of Independence, the new nation's alliance with France,
the treaty that ended the Revolution, and the compromises that
created a near-perfect Constitution.
In this colorful and intimate narrative, Isaacson provides the full
sweep of Franklin's amazing life, showing how he helped to forge
the American national identity and why he has a particular
resonance in the twenty-first century.
