Tom Paine: A Political Life
Autor John Keaneen Limba Engleză Paperback – iun 2009
'It is hard to imagine this magnificent biography ever being superceded.... It is a stylish, splendidly erudite work ... The only book so far to do full justice to this near-nigh mythical figure' Guardian
'A superb biography of an extraordinary man in extraordinary times' Telegraph
'More than any other public figure of the eighteenth century, Tom Paine strikes our times like a trumpet blast from a distant world. His writings still spark disputes about matters of public importance, while his thoughts move public figures as different as Ronald Reagan and Bob Dylan, Salman Rushdie and Margaret Thatcher to quote him - as if to prove that the dead are more sometimes alive than the living.'
So begins John Keane's magnificent and award-winning biography of one of democracy's greatest champions. Among friends and enemies alike, Paine earned a reputation as a notorious pamphleteer, one of the greatest political figures of his day, and the author of three seminal books, Common Sense, Rights of Man, and The Age of Reason.
Setting his compelling narrative against a vivid social backdrop of pre-revolutionary America and the French Revolution, John Keane melds together the public and the shadowy private sides of Paine's life in a remarkable piece of scholarship. This anniversary edition, reissued with a new introduction, is the definitive biography of a man whose life and work profoundly shaped the modern age.
