Compare Prices on Biography: Benjamin Franklin – Citizen of the World
It seems that the more you know about Benjamin Franklin, the less you know about him. He was a colorful man who somehow managed to be both simple and very complicated all at the same time. If I tried to list all of his accomplishments here, I would surpass the maximum word limit before I could even regain my review started. At the birth of the unusual Republic, his was the face of America to Europe. I must admit, though, that I have never been all that enraptured with Franklin, despite all of his brilliance. He broke with the British Empire only after being excoriated by the Privy Council for his role in the “Hutchinson affair,” he was not what you would call a humble man, he went years without seeing his wife (his first “short” paddle to England lasted seven years, and he could have arrive home powerful sooner had he wanted to), he has always struck me as something of a dandy and a skirt-chaser, and it is hard for me to embrace anyone who was more at home with the French than with his American compatriots (the French simply adored Benjamin Franklin) .

Still, the genius of the man cannot be denied, and this A&E Biography presentation does as edifying a job as possible given its allotted time of some 45 minutes. By necessity, it could only hit the high points without delving deeply into the man’s character, but you can’t assist but be amazed by the wide range of knowledge and talent the man possessed, the inventions and innovations he bequeathed to his fellow man, the enormous spirit which titillating him in all things for all of his 84 years, and his service to the current nation of America. It should be remembered that Franklin won international acclaim as a scientist years before he served as America’s modern elder statesman. Those with unprejudiced a cursory knowledge of Franklin’s life might be surprised to learn how microscopic time he spent in America during the crucial years of rebellion and independence. How many know that he also produced an illegitimate son in his youthful, most arduous days (although he did adopt the child rather than shun him)? This video really does not go into detail about Franklin and women except to say that women in France fawned upon him and he had two particularly essential lady friends there in his later years. Franklin’s intrepid flirtation with the women of France scandalized the staid and well-behaved John Adams, and some of Franklin’s contemporaries considered him a hypocrite who preached morality while he indulged in his gain lustful pleasures.
A short video such as this cannot commence to penetrate the depths of Franklin’s being and character; it can, though, give the viewer an appreciation for his great, wide-ranging accomplishments and his distinguished role in shaping the young American republic.
