Kevin J Hayes: Undaunted Mind, Gebunden

Klappentext

Undaunted Mind tells the story of the development of Benjamin Franklin's intellect beginning with the earliest books he read as a child in Boston, his formal schooling and independent study, through his time in London, Paris, and Philadelphia, where he established himself as one of America's leading intellectuals and philanthropists. The story of Franklin's intellectual life is also the story of the friends he made in various stages of his life, so this book illuminates his circles of illustrious friends who encouraged his reading, his community improvement projects, and his scientific research.
