Zusammenfassung: | Benjamin Franklin is perhaps the most remarkable figure in American history: the greatest statesman of his age, he played a pivotal role in the formation of the American republic. He was also a pioneering scientist, a best selling author, the country's first postmaster general, a printer, a bon vivant, a diplomat, a ladies' man, and a moralist-and the most prominent celebrity of the eighteenth century. Franklin was, however, a man of vast contradictions, as Edmund Morgan demonstrates in this brilliant biography. A reluctant revolutionary, Franklin had desperately wished to preserve the British Empire, and he mourned the break even as he led the fight for American independence. Despite his passion for science, Franklin viewed his groundbreaking experiments as secondary to his civic duties. And although he helped to draft both the Declaration of Independence and the American Constitution, he had personally hoped that the new American government would take a different shape. Unraveling the enigma of Franklin's character, Morgan shows that he was the rare individual who consistently placed the public interest before his own desires. |

He was also a pioneering scientist, a best selling author, the country's first postmaster general, a printer, a bon vivant, a diplomat, a ladies' man, and a moralist-and the most prominent celebrity of the eighteenth century. Franklin was, however, a man of vast contradictions, as Edmund Morgan demonstrates in this brilliant biography. A reluctant revolutionary, Franklin had desperately wished to preserve the British Empire, and he mourned the break even as he led the fight for American independence. Despite his passion for science, Franklin viewed his groundbreaking experiments as secondary to his civic duties. And although he helped to draft both the Declaration of Independence and the American Constitution, he had personally hoped that the new American government would take a different shape. Unraveling the enigma of Franklin's character, Morgan shows that he was the rare individual who consistently placed the public interest before his own desires.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="588" ind1="0" ind2=" "><subfield code="a">Print version record.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="546" ind1=" " ind2=" "><subfield code="a">English.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="600" ind1="1" ind2="0"><subfield code="a">Franklin, Benjamin,</subfield><subfield code="d">1706-1790.</subfield><subfield code="0">http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n79043402</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="600" ind1="1" ind2="6"><subfield code="a">Franklin, Benjamin,</subfield><subfield code="d">1706-1790.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="600" ind1="1" ind2="7"><subfield code="a">Franklin, Benjamin,</subfield><subfield code="d">1706-1790</subfield><subfield code="2">fast</subfield><subfield code="1">https://id.oclc.org/worldcat/entity/E39PBJvcWMmYKPccxQcWQJPbBP</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="0"><subfield code="a">Statesmen</subfield><subfield code="z">United States</subfield><subfield code="v">Biography.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="0"><subfield code="a">Scientists</subfield><subfield code="z">United States</subfield><subfield code="v">Biography.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="0"><subfield code="a">Inventors</subfield><subfield code="z">United States</subfield><subfield code="v">Biography.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="0"><subfield code="a">Printers</subfield><subfield code="z">United States</subfield><subfield code="v">Biography.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="6"><subfield code="a">Hommes d'État</subfield><subfield code="z">États-Unis</subfield><subfield code="v">Biographies.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="6"><subfield code="a">Scientifiques</subfield><subfield code="z">États-Unis</subfield><subfield code="v">Biographies.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="6"><subfield code="a">Inventeurs</subfield><subfield code="z">États-Unis</subfield><subfield code="v">Biographies.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="6"><subfield code="a">Imprimeurs</subfield><subfield code="z">États-Unis</subfield><subfield code="v">Biographies.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">BIOGRAPHY & AUTOBIOGRAPHY</subfield><subfield code="x">Historical.</subfield><subfield code="2">bisacsh</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">HISTORY.</subfield><subfield code="2">bisacsh</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">Inventors</subfield><subfield code="2">fast</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">Printers</subfield><subfield code="2">fast</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">Scientists</subfield><subfield code="2">fast</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">Statesmen</subfield><subfield code="2">fast</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="651" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">United States</subfield><subfield code="2">fast</subfield><subfield code="1">https://id.oclc.org/worldcat/entity/E39PBJtxgQXMWqmjMjjwXRHgrq</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="653" ind1=" " ind2=" "><subfield code="a">Scientists</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="653" ind1=" " ind2=" "><subfield code="a">Political parties, Overseas</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="653" ind1=" " ind2=" "><subfield code="a">United States</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="653" ind1=" " ind2=" "><subfield code="a">Biography</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="653" ind1=" " ind2=" "><subfield code="a">History, Pre-1801</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="653" ind1=" " ind2=" "><subfield code="a">Overseas item</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="653" ind1=" " ind2=" "><subfield code="a">Benjamin Franklin</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="655" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">Biographies</subfield><subfield code="2">fast</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="655" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">Biographies.</subfield><subfield code="2">lcgft</subfield><subfield code="0">http://id.loc.gov/authorities/genreForms/gf2014026049</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="655" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">Biographie (Descripteur de forme)</subfield><subfield code="2">rasuqam</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="655" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">Biographies.</subfield><subfield code="2">rvmgf</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="776" ind1="0" ind2="8"><subfield code="i">Print version:</subfield><subfield code="a">Morgan, Edmund S.
