Description
The classic portrait of Benjamin Franklin is known to everyone who has ever held a hundred-dollar bill. It’s one of the most recognizable images in the world. Contrary to a common misconception, dollars depict not only U.S. presidents—Franklin was never one of them. So what earned him this honor?
First, he was one of the “Founding Fathers” of the American nation—extremely authoritative and respected. Franklin’s authority was so high that he turned out to be the only person who signed all three foundational documents of American statehood: the U.S. Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, and the Versailles Peace Treaty. Moreover, he played an active role in the creation of the Constitution, embedding many aspects of Masonic ideology into it. In fact, he was the chief ideologist of the young republic. And he was the most famous American of his time—ahead of even George Washington.
In Vladimir Vladimirov’s audiobook “Franklin,” you’ll find a story about the life history of this unique person.
