Autorenporträt
Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790) stands among the most influential figures of American history. A polymath of significant acumen, Franklin's contributions span the spheres of science, diplomacy, and letters. Renowned for his wit and intellectual acuity, Benjamin was a prodigious author and editor, playing a seminal role in shaping American literature and philosophy. His literary style often employed aphoristic wisdom wrapped in a blend of satire and earnestness, espousing values of thrift, hard work, and education as pathways to personal and communal success. Franklin's 'Way to Wealth; or, "Poor Richard Improved"' (1758) encapsulates this literary approach, collecting maxims from his earlier publication, 'Poor Richard's Almanack' (1732-1758), which offered annual amalgamations of calendar information, entertainment, and practical advice. The 'Way to Wealth' epitomizes Franklin's ethos, exuding prudent fiscal and ethical advice that has affirmatively impacted generations. A foundational text in American self-help and personal success literature, Franklin's penchant for accessible prose and astute observations cements his legacy as a venerated author and cultural icon.
