Meet Benjamin Franklin as youâve never met him before . . .
This hilarious collection includes the Founding Fatherâs satirical writings on farting, adultery, and other irreverent subjects you wonât find in your history books.
A mention of flatulence might conjure up images of bratty high school boys or lowbrow comics. But one of the most eloquentâand least expectedâcommentators on the subject is Benjamin Franklin. The writings in Fart Proudly reveal the rogue who lived peaceably within the philosopher and statesman. Included are âThe Letter to a Royal Academyâ; âOn Choosing a Mistressâ; âRules on Making Oneself Disagreeableâ; and other jibes.
Franklinâs irrepressible wit found an outlet in perpetrating hoaxes, attacking marriage and other sacred cows, and skewering the English Parliament. Reminding us of the humorous, irreverent side of this American icon, these essays endure as both hilarious satire and a timely reminder of the importance of a free press.
