Riassunto

Unabridged text of Rights of Man, by Thomas Paine, offered here for chump change.  Paine argues in this political pamphlet for a society ruled by the people, and adds extra weight to his opinions through his footnotes and tables.

Paine was outlawed in Britain and escaped execution in France, due to the power of his pen challenging authority in the plain language of the people.

A glimpse into early American life, read Paine’s full text here in this slim volume, provided at an affordable price.
