Benjamin Franklin, writes journalist and biographer Walter Isaacson, was that rare Founding Father who would sooner wink at a passer-by than sit still for a formal portrait. What’s more, Isaacson relates in this fluent and entertaining biography, the revolutionary leader represents a political tradition that has been all but forgotten today, one that prizes pragmatism over moralism, religious tolerance over fundamentalist rigidity, and social mobility over class privilege. That broadly democratic sensibility allowed Franklin his contradictions, as Isaacson shows. Though a man of lofty principles, Franklin wasn’t shy of using sex to sell the newspapers he edited and published; though far from frivolous, he liked his toys and his mortal pleasures; and though he sometimes gave off a simpleton image, he was a shrewd and even crafty politician. Isaacson doesn’t shy from enumerating Franklin’s occasional peccadilloes and shortcomings, in keeping with the iconoclastic nature of our time—none of which, however, stops him from considering Benjamin Franklin “the most accomplished American of his age,” and one of the most admirable of any era. And here’s one bit of proof: as a young man, Ben Franklin regularly went without food in order to buy books. His example, as always, is a good one—and this is just the book to buy with the proceeds from the grocery budget. 
Review
“The most readable full-length Franklin biography available.”  —The Washington Post Book World
“Energetic, entertaining, and worldly.”  —The New Yorker
“In its common sense, clarity and accessibility, it is a fitting reflection of Franklin’s sly pragmatism.... This may be the book that most powerfully drives a new pendulum swing of the Franklin reputation.”   —The New York Times
“A thoroughly researched, crisply written, convincingly argued chronicle.”   —The New York Times Book Review

本杰明?富兰克林（Benjamin Franklin，1706.1.17~790.4.17），美国伟大的先驱者和美国民主缔造者之一，知名的科学家、发明家、政治家、外交家、文学家、实业家，他也是美国独立运动的领导人。他一生参与了美国多项重要文件的起草，包括《独立宣言》及美国宪法。他曾说：这也是他一生的真实写照。
Benjamin Franklin《富兰克林传》的作者沃尔特?艾萨克森是美国知名的传记作家，曾撰写过《史蒂夫?乔布斯传》《富兰克林传》《基辛格传》《爱因斯坦：生活和宇宙》等多部畅销的传记作品。在本书中，艾萨克森凭借其精湛的写作功底，记录了富兰克林的过人胆识及其传奇般的成功人生。我们将看到，富兰克林——这位非常有魅力的美国国父是如何缔造出美国精神，创造出属于他自己的时代。
正如托马斯?杰斐逊所言：“在我的一生中，能让我佩服的人有三位：位是本杰明?富兰克林；第二位也是本杰明?富兰克林；第三位还是本杰明?富兰克林。富兰克林出生时比我们中非常穷的人还要穷，但他具有不以自己的穷困为耻的勇气，并凭借这勇气成为他生活的时代和国家中极伟大和出色的人。”

Benjamin Franklin is the founding father who winks at us, the one who seems made of flesh rather than marble. In this authoritative and engrossing full-scale biography, Walter Isaacson shows how the most fascinating of America’s founders helped define our national character. 
In a sweeping narrative that follows Franklin’s life from Boston to Philadelphia to London and Paris and back, Isaacson chronicles the adventures of the spunky runaway apprentice who became, during his 84-year life, America’s best writer, inventor, media baron, scientist, diplomat, and business strategist, as well as one of its most practical and ingenious political leaders. He explores the wit behind Poor Richard’s Almanac and the wisdom behind the Declaration of Independence, the new nation’s alliance with France, the treaty that ended the Revolution, and the compromises that created a near-perfect Constitution. 
Above all, Isaacson shows how Franklin’s unwavering faith in the wisdom of the common citizen and his instinctive appreciation for the possibilities of democracy helped to forge an American national identity based on the virtues and values of its middle class.

Chapter One: Benjamin Franklin and the Invention of America
His arrival in Philadelphia is one of the most famous scenes in autobiographical literature: the bedraggled 17-year-old runaway, cheeky yet with a pretense of humility, straggling off the boat and buying three puffy rolls as he wanders up Market Street. But wait a minute. There’s something more. Peel back a layer and we can see him as a 65-year-old wry observer, sitting in an English country house, writing this scene, pretending it’s part of a letter to his son, an illegitimate son who has become a royal governor with aristocratic pretensions and needs to be reminded of his humble roots.
A careful look at the manuscript peels back yet another layer. Inserted into the sentence about his pilgrim’s progress up Market Street is a phrase, written in the margin, in which he notes that he passed by the house of his future wife, Deborah Read, and that “she, standing at the door, saw me and thought I made, as I certainly did, a most awkward ridiculous appearance.” So here we have, in a brief paragraph, the multilayered character known so fondly to his author as Benjamin Franklin: as a young man, then seen through the eyes of his older self, and then through the memories later recounted by his wife. It’s all topped off with the old man’s deft little affirmation — “as I certainly did” — in which his self-deprecation barely cloaks the pride he felt regarding his remarkable rise in the world.
Benjamin Franklin is the founding father who winks at us. George Washington’s colleagues found it hard to imagine touching the austere general on the shoulder, and we would find it even more so today. Jefferson and Adams are just as intimidating. But Ben Franklin, that ambitious urban entrepreneur, seems made of flesh rather than of marble, addressable by nickname, and he turns to us from history’s stage with eyes that twinkle from behind those newfangled spectacles. He speaks to us, through his letters and hoaxes and autobiography, not with orotund rhetoric but with a chattiness and clever irony that is very contemporary, sometimes unnervingly so. We see his reflection in our own time.
He was, during his eighty-four-year-long life, America’s best scientist, inventor, diplomat, writer, and business strategist, and he was also one of its most practical, though not most profound, political thinkers. He proved by flying a kite that lightning was electricity, and he invented a rod to tame it. He devised bifocal glasses and clean-burning stoves, charts of the Gulf Stream and theories about the contagious nature of the common cold. He launched various civic improvement schemes, such as a lending library, college, volunteer fire corps, insurance association, and matching grant fund-raiser. He helped invent America’s unique style of homespun humor and philosophical pragmatism. In foreign policy, he created an approach that wove together idealism with balance-of-power realism. And in politics, he proposed seminal plans for uniting the colonies and creating a federal model for a national government.
But the most interesting thing that Franklin invented, and continually reinvented, was himself. America’s first great publicist, he was, in his life and in his writings, consciously trying to create a new American archetype. In the process, he carefully crafted his own persona, portrayed it in public, and polished it for posterity.
Partly, it was a matter of image. As a young printer in Philadelphia, he carted rolls of paper through the streets to give the appearance of being industrious. As an old diplomat in France, he wore a fur cap to portray the role of backwoods sage. In between, he created an image for himself as a simple yet striving tradesman, assiduously honing the virtues — diligence, frugality, honesty — of a good shopkeeper and beneficent member of his community.
But the image he created was rooted in reality. Born and bred a member of the leather-aproned class, Franklin was, at least for most of his life, more comfortable with artisans and thinkers than with the established elite, and he was allergic to the pomp and perks of a hereditary aristocracy. Throughout his life he would refer to himself as 
“B. Franklin, printer.”
From these attitudes sprang what may be Franklin’s most important vision: an American national identity based on the virtues and values of its middle class. Instinctively more comfortable with democracy than were some of his fellow founders, and devoid of the snobbery that later critics would feel toward his own shopkeeping values, he had faith in the wisdom of the common man and felt that a new nation would draw its strength from what he called “the middling people.” Through his self-improvement tips for cultivating personal virtues and his civic-improvement schemes for furthering the common good, he helped to create, and to celebrate, a new ruling class of ordinary citizens.
The complex interplay among various facets of Franklin’s character — his ingenuity and unreflective wisdom, his Protestant ethic divorced from dogma, the principles he held firm and those he was willing to compromise — means that each new look at him reflects and refracts the nation’s changing values. He has been vilified in romantic periods and lionized in entrepreneurial ones. Each era appraises him anew, and in doing so reveals some assessments of itself.
Franklin has a particular resonance in twenty-first-century America. A successful publisher and consummate networker with an inventive curiosity, he would have felt right at home in the information revolution, and his unabashed striving to be part of an upwardly mobile meritocracy made him, in social critic David Brooks’s phrase, “our founding Yuppie.” We can easily imagine having a beer with him after work, showing him how to use the latest digital device, sharing the business plan for a new venture, and discussing the most recent political scandals or policy ideas. He would laugh at the latest joke about a priest and a rabbi, or about a farmer’s daughter. We would admire both his earnestness and his self-aware irony. And we would relate to the way he tried to balance, sometimes uneasily, the pursuit of reputation, wealth, earthly virtues, and spiritual values.
Some who see the reflection of Franklin in the world today fret about a shallowness of soul and a spiritual complacency that seem to permeate a culture of materialism. They say that he teaches us how to live a practical and pecuniary life, but not an exalted existence. Others see the same reflection and admire the basic middle-class values and democratic sentiments that now seem under assault from elitists, radicals, reactionaries, and other bashers of the bourgeoisie. They regard Franklin as an exemplar of the personal character and civic virtue that are too often missing in modern America.
Much of the admiration is warranted, and so too are some of the qualms. But the lessons from Franklin’s life are more complex than those usually drawn by either his fans or his foes. Both sides too often confuse him with the striving pilgrim he portrayed in his autobiography. They mistake his genial moral maxims for the fundamental faiths that motivated his actions.
His morality was built on a sincere belief in leading a virtuous life, serving the country he loved, and hoping to achieve salvation through good works. That led him to make the link between private virtue and civic virtue, and to suspect, based on the meager evidence he could muster about God’s will, that these earthly virtues were linked to heavenly ones as well. As he put it in the motto for the library he founded, “To pour forth benefits for the common good is divine.” In comparison to contemporaries such as Jonathan Edwards, who believed that men were sinners in the hands of an angry God and that salvation could come through grace alone, this outlook might seem somewhat complacent. In some ways it was, but it was also genuine.
Whatever view one takes, it is useful to engage anew with Franklin, for in doing so we are grappling with a fundamental issue: How does one live a life that is useful, virtuous, worthy, moral, and spiritually meaningful? For that matter, which of these attributes is most important? These are questions just as vital for a self-satisfied age as they were for a revolutionary one. 

《富兰克林传：一个美国人的生活》（Benjamin Franklin: An American Life） 作者：沃尔特·艾萨克森（Walter Isaacson） 内容概述： 沃尔特·艾萨克森所著的《富兰克林传：一个美国人的生活》是一部极其详实且深刻的人物传记，它以宏大的视角，抽丝剥茧般地描绘了美国建国先贤之一本杰明·富兰克林丰富多彩、影响深远的一生。本书并非仅仅罗列史实，而是深入挖掘富兰克林作为一个人、一个思想家、一个政治家、一个发明家、一个作家、一个外交家所展现出的复杂性和多面性，勾勒出一个立体鲜活的形象，带领读者穿越时空，亲历那个充满变革与机遇的时代。 艾萨克森在书中，以其标志性的流畅笔触和严谨的学术考证，将富兰克林的故事娓娓道来。他不仅梳理了富兰克林从一个贫苦印刷学徒成长为殖民地最受尊敬的公民，乃至成为一个在国际舞台上举足轻重的人物的发展轨迹，更重要的是，他揭示了富兰克林成功的深层原因。这些原因并非单一的幸运或天赋，而是源于他永不满足的好奇心、对知识的无限渴求、对实践的坚定追求，以及一种近乎顽固的自我改进精神。 全书大致可以划分为几个核心部分： 一、 早年经历与自我塑造： 传记的开篇，艾萨克森将读者带回富兰克林那并不光鲜的童年。出生在波士顿一个相对贫寒的家庭，作为众多兄弟姐妹中的一员，富兰克林早早地就感受到了生活的艰辛。然而，即使在这样的环境中，他敏锐的求知欲和强烈的自尊心就已经开始显现。艾萨克森详细描述了富兰克林如何利用一切可得的资源进行学习，从公开的书籍到兄弟的印刷坊，他像海绵一样吸收着知识。书中特别强调了富兰克林早年对写作的热爱和天赋，他通过模仿和创作，逐渐形成了自己独特的文风，并通过发表文章，尤其是在《宾夕法尼亚公报》上的匿名评论，开始崭露头角。 艾萨克森着重刻画了富兰克林独特的“道德改进”体系。富兰克林将自己的生活视为一个实验场，他列出了十三条美德，并每天反思自己在这几条美德上的表现，试图通过日复一日的练习来完善自我。这种近乎严苛的自我约束和反思，是富兰克林能够成为一个卓越人物的基石。书中对这一过程的细致描写，让读者能够深刻理解富兰克林是如何在道德和品格上进行自我打磨的，这种对内在力量的修炼，是他后来一切成就的内在驱动力。 二、 成为费城名士与科学探索： 随着富兰克林在费城站稳脚跟，他不仅仅满足于印刷出版事业的成功。他对科学探索表现出了极大的热情和天赋。艾萨克森详细介绍了富兰克林在电学领域的开创性研究，尤其是他著名的风筝实验。尽管这个实验充满危险，却极大地推动了人们对电的认识，并促使他发明了避雷针，这项发明挽救了无数生命和财产，也为他赢得了国际声誉。 此外，书中也提及了富兰克林在光学、气象学、海洋学等多个领域的探索和贡献。他发明了 bifocal glasses（双焦眼镜）、改进了火炉（Franklin stove），这些发明无不体现了他强烈的实用主义精神和解决实际问题的能力。艾萨克森认为，富兰克林的科学研究并非为了纯粹的学术荣誉，而是出于一种服务于社会、改善人类生活的愿望，这与他的人生哲学高度契合。 三、 政治生涯与建国伟业： 当殖民地与英国的矛盾日益加剧，富兰克林毅然投身于政治舞台。艾萨克森将富兰克林的政治生涯描绘得惊心动魄。他从一个积极的英国公民，逐渐转变为一位坚定的独立斗士，这一转变过程既有理念上的觉醒，也有现实政治的推动。他曾作为殖民地的代表，在英国议会中为殖民地的权益奔走呼号，试图化解双方的矛盾，但最终的失败让他认识到，独立才是唯一的出路。 书中浓墨重彩地描绘了富兰克林在起草《独立宣言》过程中的关键作用，尽管托马斯·杰斐逊是主要起草人，但富兰克林的智慧和影响力在最终文本的形成过程中功不可没。随后，他作为大陆会议的代表，远赴法国争取法国的援助。艾萨克森对富兰克林在法国的外交生涯进行了细致的描绘，他以其独特的个人魅力、渊博的学识和卓越的谈判技巧，赢得了法国上下的支持，为美国的独立战争的最终胜利奠定了坚实的基础。 书中还详细讲述了富兰克林在制宪会议上的表现。年事已高，但他依然精神矍铄，以其经验和智慧，在各种分歧之间寻求共识，为《美利坚合众国宪法》的诞生做出了不可磨灭的贡献。艾萨克森认为，富兰克林在政治上的成就，并非源于其强硬的手段，而是来自于他善于倾听、尊重不同意见，以及他深厚的哲学思考和对人类本性的洞察。 四、 晚年生活与历史遗产： 传记的后半部分，艾萨克森回顾了富兰克林晚年的生活。即使在退休之后，他依然积极参与公共事务，他反对奴隶制，并致力于教育事业，创办了宾夕法尼亚大学和费城学院。他的晚年，仍然充满了对国家和社会的关怀。 艾萨克森在书中，深入分析了富兰克林所代表的“美国精神”。他认为，富兰克林的一生，是追求自由、机会、进步和个人成就的完美体现。他将自己的人生视为一个不断学习、不断实践、不断超越自我的过程，这种精神，深刻地影响了美国的文化和价值观。 本书的独特之处与价值： 《富兰克林传：一个美国人的生活》之所以能够成为一部经典之作，在于其多方面的价值： 深度的人物刻画： 艾萨克森没有将富兰克林塑造成一个完美无缺的“圣人”，而是展现了他作为一个普通人的挣扎、缺点和复杂性。他既有令人敬佩的品格，也有凡人的情感和欲望，这种真实性使得人物更加生动可信。 宏大的历史叙事： 本书不仅仅是个人传记，更是对美国早期历史的生动再现。通过富兰克林的视角，读者可以清晰地看到那个时代的社会变迁、思想碰撞和政治斗争。 深刻的思想解读： 艾萨克森不仅梳理了富兰克林的人生轨迹，更深入解读了他的人生哲学、政治思想和科学理念。他如何理解自由、如何看待政府、如何处理人际关系，这些都为读者提供了宝贵的启示。 详实的史料运用： 艾萨克森以其扎实的学术功底，运用了大量的原始史料，包括富兰克林的书信、日记、著作等，保证了传记的准确性和权威性。 引人入胜的文笔： 尽管内容严谨，但艾萨克森的写作风格却极其流畅生动，语言充满魅力，使得阅读过程充满乐趣，而非枯燥的学术报告。 总而言之，《富兰克林传：一个美国人的生活》是一部集历史、人物、思想于一体的杰作。它不仅仅是一本关于一位伟大历史人物的传记，更是一部关于人生智慧、个人成长和美国精神的深刻探讨。通过阅读本书，读者不仅能了解本杰明·富兰克林这位传奇人物的非凡一生，更能从中汲取力量，思考如何在自己的生活中追求卓越，实现自我价值，并为社会做出贡献。它是一本值得反复阅读，并从中获得深刻启发的传记。
