The Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin – eBook – FREE
Phileas Fogg of London and his newly employed valet Passe-partout attempt to circumnavigate the globe in just 80 days to win a £20,000 wager set by members of the Reform Club. He is not unmindful of the importance of his public services and their recognition, yet his accounts of these achievements are given only as a part of the story, and the vanity displayed is incidental and in keeping with the honesty of the recital. There is nothing of the impossible in the method and practice of Franklin as he sets them forth.
The youth who reads the fascinating story is astonished to find that Franklin in his early years struggled with the same everyday passions and difficulties that he himself experiences, and he loses the sense of discouragement that comes from a realization of his own shortcomings and inability to attain.
