Way to Wealth. Autobiography. Franklin B.

This book eliminates the monstrous historical injustice: it first represents the legacy of one of the most remarkable minds of mankind, state and public figure, diplomat, scientist, inventor, writer, philosopher, businessman - Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790). His face is familiar to everyone - this is a portrait, a replicated uncountable number of times on the main money bill of the United States; His aphorism “Time - Money” is known even by those who know nothing; And his “Autobiography” has long become a table book for most successful people, many of whom have already managed to enter the cohort of great personalities.

“If you want to get excellent tips on how to treat people, control yourself and improve your personal qualities,” Dale Carnegie once said, “read the autobiography of Benjamin Franklin - one of the most exciting stories of life”.

Benjamin Franklin is one of the founders of the United States and the only one whose signature is under the Declaration of Independence, the Versailles Peace Treaty and the Constitution-the three documents that determined the course of the history of not only the United States, but the whole world. And Franklin invented a lightning rod, a rocking chair, a stove-stove, a kitchen stove, invented summer time and created many other useful things.

In addition to the first full Russian translation of autobiography, this publication includes the works of Benjamin Franklin of different years: from the Treaty of Freedom and necessity, pleasure and suffering, written by a young author at the age of 19, to the satirical pamphlet "About slave trade ”, which the 84-year-old Great American finished work three weeks before his death. And finally, hundreds of magnificent illustrations were the true decoration of the publication, thanks to which the reader is guaranteed the “immersion effect” in the era in which Benjamin Franklin lived and created.
