Questa importante raccolta dimostra fino a che punto Thomas Paine (1737-1809) sia stato fonte di ispirazione per gli americani nella loro lotta per l'indipendenza, un appassionato sostenitore della Rivoluzione francese e forse il più importante scrittore radicale inglese della sua epoca. Contiene tutte le principali opere di Paine, tra cui The Rights of Man, la sua innovativa difesa della causa rivoluzionaria in Francia, Common Sense, che conquistò migliaia di persone dalla parte dei ribelli americani, e la prima parte di The Age of Reason (Part One), un feroce attacco al cristianesimo. Anche i pezzi più brevi, sulla pena di morte, la riforma sociale e l'abolizione della schiavitù, confermano la grande versatilità e potenza di questo maestro della prosa democratica.

Thomas Paine (1737-1802) was born at Thetford, Norfolk in England, as a son of a Quaker. He immigrated to America in 1774. There he published works criticising the slavery and supporting American independence. He became very popular but returned to England where he became involved in the French Revolution. After that he returned to America, where he died.

It contains all of Paine's major works including The Rights of Man, his groundbreaking defence of the revolutionary cause in France, Common Sense, which won thousands over to the side of the American rebels, and the first part of The Age of Reason (Part One), a ferocious attack on Christianity. The shorter pieces - on capital punishment, social reform and the abolition of slavery - also confirm the great versatility and power of this master of democratic prose. A readable copy of the book which may include some defects such as highlighting and notes. Cover and pages may be creased and show discolouration. Codice articolo GOR003163963
