Synopsis
Benjamin Franklin is the founding father who winks at us, the one who seems made of flesh rather than marble. In this authoritative and engrossing full-scale biography, Walter Isaacson shows how the most fascinating of America's founders helped define our national character.In a sweeping narrative that follows Franklin's life from Boston to Philadelphia to London and Paris and back, Isaacson chronicles the adventures of the spunky runaway apprentice who became, during his 84-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 behindPoor Richard's Almanacand 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.Above all, Isaacson shows how Franklin's unwavering faith in the wisdom of the common citizen and his instinctive appreciation for the possibilities of democracy helped to forge an American national identity based on the virtues and values of its middle class., Rescuing Franklin from the cliché of the genial codger, the bestselling author of KISSINGER celebrates the most advanced and earthy of the founding fathers in a riveting biography that brings Benjamin Franklin to life., 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.

- l***l (297)- Votos emitidos por el comprador.Últimos 6 mesesCompra verificadaI want to be fair to this seller. I ordered a box set of LPs from them. The LPs arrived promptly and they were exactly as described; however, the cover of the box clearly indicates that a 24 page booklet should have been be included with the records. That was missing from the box. The seller should have mentioned this in their listing as I would probably have purchased a more complete copy. Otherwise this seller is thoroughly reliable.
- k***r (1095)- Votos emitidos por el comprador.Últimos 6 mesesCompra verificadaArrived in excellent condition and very well packaged. Special care taken to ensure no damage to item. Very much appreciated. Super fast shipping and delivery. Great seller and great price. Item as described but does have some scuffs. Should still play. Thank you and hope to do business with you again.

The condition of the outer box and inner sleeves are as described by the seller. The sentimental value of being reunited with an album that, as a child, helped me blossom into the person I've become today and that I've searched over a decade to find is purely indescribable and worth more than one can perceive. To the Seller, thank you from the bottom of my heart for the opportunity at this reunion.Anthology Of Medieval Music - 5 LP box set VG++ R88 (#356395330236)
