Benjamin Franklin

    17. leden 1706 – 17. duben 1790

    Benjamin Franklin byl plodný autor a myslitel, jehož rozsáhlý vliv formoval vznik Spojených států. Jeho spisy, které pronikaly moudrostí do kolonií po dobu sedmnácti let, odrážejí jeho hluboké porozumění lidské povaze a společnosti. Franklinovo jméno je spojeno s průkopnickým výzkumem elektřiny, který navždy změnil vědecký svět. Jeho odkaz spočívá v jeho všestrannosti jako spisovatele, vědce a státníka, který zanechal nesmazatelnou stopu v americké historii.
