About the author
Benjamin Franklin
1706–1790
A printer’s apprentice who became one of the most recognizable minds of the 18th century, he wrote with wit, experimented with science, and helped shape a new nation. His life moves easily from the shop floor to the halls of diplomacy, which makes his work feel both grounded and world-changing.
