The Americanization of Benjamin Franklin
ISBN: 9780143035282 / Angielski / Miękka / 2005 / 320 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. From the most respected chronicler of the early days of the Republic--and winner of both the Pulitzer and Bancroft prizes--comes a landmark work that rescues Benjamin Franklin from a mythology that has blinded generations of Americans to the man he really was and makes sense of aspects of his life and career that would have otherwise remained mysterious. In place of the genial polymath, self-improver, and quintessential American, Gordon S. Wood reveals a figure much more ambiguous and complex--and much more interesting. Charting the passage of Franklin's life and reputation from relative...

Revolutionary Characters: What Made the Founders Different
ISBN: 9780143112082 / Angielski / Miękka / 2007 / 336 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. In this brilliantly illuminating group portrait of the men who came to be known as the Founding Fathers, the incomparable Gordon Wood has written a book that seriously asks, "What made these men great?" and shows us, among many other things, just how much character did in fact matter. The life of each--Washington, Adams, Jefferson, Franklin, Hamilton, Madison, Paine--is presented individually as well as collectively, but the thread that binds these portraits together is the idea of character as a lived reality. They were members of the first generation in history that was self-consciously...
