If you have any interest in historical figures, I recommend this book. It grants a view of Benjamin Franklin that goes beyond the standard textbook portrait of an older statesman. Sure, he was certainly that, but at one point he was a young man just starting out too. It shows how he faced various challenges in life, learned from his mistakes, and how he developed into the statesman with whom most Americans are familiar.
Part I is written as a letter to his son and contains information on the Franklin ancestry as well as Benjamin’s uncles and siblings. There is a great deal that I had never heard. For example, Benjamin’s father intended him for the church – “the tithe of his sons” (page 10) but then went into his father’s business for several years – “that of a tallow-chandler and soap-boiler.” (11) As a youth, Benjamin Franklin had a strong desire to go to sea; that was of course discouraged by his parents. Eventually, his father realized that he disliked the family business enough that he might run off to sea if something else wasn’t found. He was apprenticed to his brother; this had a separate set of problems which the book goes into in more details. The relationship between the brothers does not improve until much later. | Translation - Spanish
Si usted tiene algún interés en las figuras históricas, recomiendo este libro. Se concede una visión de Benjamin Franklin que va más allá del retrato de libros de texto estándar de un estadista de más edad. Claro, sin duda era eso, pero en un momento era un hombre joven empezando también. Se muestra cómo se enfrentó a varios retos en la vida, aprendió de sus errores, y cómo él se convirtió en el hombre de Estado con el que la mayoría de los estadounidenses están familiarizados.
La primera parte está escrita como una carta a su hijo y contiene información sobre la ascendencia de Franklin, así como sus tíos Benjamín y sus hermanos. Hay muchas cosas que yo nunca había oído. Por ejemplo, el padre de Benjamín lo previstió para la Iglesia - "el diezmo de sus hijos" (página 10), pero luego entró en el negocio de su padre durante varios años - "la de un sebo Chandler y jabón de la caldera." (11) Como un joven, Benjamin Franklin tenía un fuerte deseo de ir a la mar, que fue, por supuesto, desalentador para sus padres. Finalmente, su padre se dio cuenta de que no le gustaba el negocio familiar suficiente y podría correr al mar, si otra cosa no era encontrada. Fue aprendiz de su hermano, lo que llevó a un conjunto de problemas que el libro entra en más detalles. La relación entre los hermanos no mejora hasta mucho más tarde. |
