About the Author

It is difficult to define such a genius as Benjamin Franklin, whose talent and work encompass various fields of knowledge, and whose precious, atemporal, pragmatic worldview was ahead of his time. Born in Boston on January 17, 1706, he was an American abolitionist, journalist, editor, writer, philanthropist, civil servant, scientist, diplomat, and inventor. As a politician, he is acknowledged as one of the leaders of the American Revolution. He read extensively about cultures throughout the world, held Plutarch's Parallel Lives in high regard as one of his main references, wrote beautiful articles and essays, and became known worldwide for his experiments with electricity – which led him to be elected a member of the prestigious Royal Society. Following such virtues, Franklin earned the title of First American, as he was the first of them to be admired and respected by the Old World in its traditional, biased opinion of the peoples who colonized the New World.
