Sobre El Autor

One of 17 children, Benjamin Franklin was born in Boston on January 17, 1706. He ended his formal education at the age of 10 and began working as an apprentice at a newspaper. Running away to Philadelphia at 17, he worked for a printer, later opening his own print shop. Franklin was a man of many mostrar más talents and interests. As a writer, he published a colonial newspaper and the well-known Poor Richard's Almanack, which contains his famous maxims. He authored many political and economic works, such as The Way To Wealth and Journal of the Negotiations for Peace. He is responsible for many inventions, including the Franklin stove and bifocal eyeglasses. He conducted scientific experiments, proving in one of his most famous ones that lightning and electricity were the same. As a politically active citizen, he helped draft the Declaration of Independence and lobbied for the adoption of the U.S. Constitution. He also served as ambassador to France. He died in April of 1790 at the age of 84. (Bowker Author Biography) mostrar menos

Es Benjamin Franklin un hombre que tiene, si pudiéramos hablar en términos musicales, un tono asordinado, y si pudiéramos hablar en matices, un tono gris, En su vida no hay esas explosiones de energía sublime, ni esos momentos que sintetizan y hacen florecer un alma humana; a lo largo de toda la suya hay un tono, medio y sostenido, sin subidas ni bajadas bruscas, y al que no se asocia fácilmente la idea de brillo ni la de excepción.
