The Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin, which Franklin himself called his Memoirs, is the unfinished record of his life written between 1771 and 1790. It has become one of the most well-known and influential autobiographies in history, and has been praised both as a historical document and a piece of literature in its own right. William Dean Howells declared that "Franklin's is one of the greatest autobiographies in literature, and towers over other autobiographies as Franklin towered over other men."
Teresa_Pelka: Paths by Benjamin Franklin and Thomas Paine parted, in their living experience. The names continue together in history, for the role both men had in American independence.
Franklin starts his autobiography by describing that his family originally emigrated from Northamptonshire in England where they had worked the land since the 1200's. In the colonies, Franklin's father was a candler and as was traditional, the son was expected to follow the father's trade. However, Franklin was obviously a very intelligent young man and his father supported his education.
Getting into the printing trade allowed him to publish pamphlets that suggested improvements in society. He also published a newspaper which was one of the first in the Colonies.
Franklin seems to have been involved in many of the big moments in early America including Braddocks defeat by the French and natives.
Despite written in the 18th Century, it is very readable and frequently illustrates Franklin's wit. ( )
Rrëfimi i Franklin-it për jetën e tij është i ndarë në katër pjesë që reflektojnë periudhat e ndryshme gjatë të cilave ai i shkroi. Benjamin Franklin ishte një burrë i vërtetë i Rilindjes: shkrimtar, botues, shkencëtar, shpikës, diplomat dhe politikan. Gjatë jetës së tij të gjatë ai dha këshilla për pasurimin, organizoi institucionet publike, kontribuoi në lindjen e një kombi dhe negocioi me fuqitë botërore për të siguruar mbijetesën e vendit të tij.
