Informationen zum Autor Thomas Paine (1737-1809) was an activist, philosopher, political theorist, and author of Common Sense , The American Crisis , and Rights of Man . Klappentext "We can call Thomas Paine-eminent Founder, verbal bomb-thrower, Deist, revolutionary, and rationalist-the spark of the American Revolution. In his influential pamphlets, Paine codified both colonial outrage and the intellectual justification for independence, arguing consistently and convincingly for Enlightenment values and the power of the people. He was a master of political rhetoric, from the sarcastic insult to the diplomatic aperðcu. Today, we are living in times that, as Paine said, try men's souls. Whatever your politics, if you're seeking a new Paine-with rhetoric to ignite social and political transformations-where better to start than at the source? This is a work that provides quotes from Thomas Paine's writings"--
