About this ebook

“He started in absolute poverty. He was almost entirely self-educated. To rise from that kind of a starting position, and become the best inventor in his country, the best scientist in his country, the best writer in his country, the best diplomat in his country—he was a very unusual person.”

-Charlie Munger, Former Vice Chairman of Berkshire Hathaway

From Silence to Statesman: Essays & Writings of Benjamin Franklin offers an illuminating journey through the authentic words of one of America's most influential Founding Fathers. This meticulously curated collection, the most comprehensive ever to be published since 1819, presents Benjamin Franklin's essays and writings in their original form. This includes many of his most famous works, alongside lesser known but equally insightful pieces.

The plenitude of work left behind by Franklin can be overwhelming, but the structure in which it’s presented in this book will offer a window into Franklin's mind. From his political philosophy to his satirical bon mots, readers will gain a comprehensive view of the man who helped shape a nation.
