The Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin

Today I want to recommend you the autobiography of Benjamin Franklin. This is an amazing piece of history, written in the most catchy possible way. It grabs you by the neck, and make you not being able to stop reading.

Whether you are interested in the history of the United States, or just in Benjamin himself, or want to achieve some degree of personal growth, this book is, doubtless, for you.

It is a fantastic piece of literature, though it is surprising that men as wise as Benjamin, considered as totally normal to educate women in a different way, towards more "domestic" skills. I´m just about to finish the book and haven´t found any references to slavery, but I´m convinced that even Benjamin, as just and wise as he was, considered this the most natural state of things.

Enjoy and learn.

P.S. Benjamin´s autobiography is a book in the public domain, thus you can get an electronic copy for free, though I´m sure you can grab a paper copy at your local library.
