{"product_id":"9781596870161","title":"Benjamin Franklin","description":"\u003cp\u003eFor many people, Benjamin Franklin remains a puzzling figure in American history. This book tells Franklin's absorbing life story. In lively and informal style, Thomas Fleming presents a well-rounded account of probably the most versatile and accomplished man of his time-his boyhood in Boston...his career as a newspaperman and writer...his scientific pursuits and inventions...his years as statesman and diplomat...through his still productive old age until his death at 84. In Benjamin Franklin, Fleming not only gives a perceptive portrait of an extraordinary man, but he provides a rare glimpse into the forces that shaped the birth of a new nation.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ibooks, Incorporated","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47041080819952,"sku":"9781596870161","price":14.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781596870161_p0.jpg?v=1763815066","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781596870161","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
