This book is written by Franklin in his twilight years according to his personal experience. Since over two centuries ago, it has always been an excellent best-seller in the world press history. In it a weather-beaten old man tells in a chitchatting way about his own experience and the lessons from failure. It is never too pleasing nor too domineering in language, making readers feel very amiable when reading with simple and humorous writings as well as the clear and concise narration. The Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin has created a good tradition of American biographical literature, and since it got published, biography has become a new kind of literary genre.
