Benjamin <b>Franklin</b>: An American Life” align=”left” style=”margin-right: 15px;” /> Benjamin <b>Franklin</b>, writes journalist and biographer Walter Isaacson, was that rare Founding Father who would sooner wink at a passer-by than sit still for a formal portrait. What’s more, Isaacson relates in this fluent and entertaining biography, the revolutionary leader represents a political tradition that has been all but forgotten today, one that prizes pragmatism over moralism, religious tolerance over fundamentalist rigidity, and social mobility over class privilege. That broadly democratic sensibility allowed <b>Franklin</b> his contradictions, as Isaacson shows. Though a man of lofty principles, <b>Franklin</b> wasn’t shy of using sex to sell the newspapers he edited and published; though far from frivolous, he liked his toys and his mortal pleasures; and though he sometimes gave off a simpleton image, he was a shrewd and even crafty politician. Isaacson doesn’t shy from enumerating <b>Franklin</b>’s occasional peccadilloes and shortcomings, in keeping with the iconoclastic nature of our time–none of which, however, stops him from considering Benjamin <b>Franklin</b> “the most accomplished American of his age,” and one of the most admirable of any era. And here’s one bit of proof: as a young man, Ben <b>Franklin</b> regularly went without food in order to buy books. His example, as always, is a good one–and this is just the book to buy with the proceeds from the grocery budget. <I>–Gregory McNamee</I></p> <p> <b>Author:</b> Walter Isaacson <br /> <b>Paperback:</b>  608 pages <br /> <b>Company:</b> Simon & Schuster  (2004-05-04) <br /> <b>ISBN:</b> 074325807X<br /> <b>List Price:</b> $18.00<br /> <b>Amazon Price:</b> $6.21<br /> <b>Used Price:</b> $4.75</p> <p><a target=Ben and Me: An Astonishing Life of Benjamin Franklin by His Good Mouse Amos

Oh sure, his manuscript was found by author-editor Robert Lawson and published first in 1939, but discerning readers ever since have figured that it’s the mouse who’s the fellow with the … tale.
