关于作者
Thomas Paine (1737–1809) was an English-born American political activist, philosopher, author, and revolutionary. One of the Founding Fathers of the United States, Paine’s writings were instrumental in fomenting the American Revolution. He first gained widespread acclaim with ‘Common Sense’ (1776), a powerful and articulate argument for independence from Great Britain. Paine displayed a unique ability to reach both learned and common audiences, affecting the political opinions of American colonists. Paine’s ‘The American Crisis’ papers, written during the Revolutionary War, inspired the soldiers and resonated with a country fighting for its freedom. Later, his work ‘The Rights of Man’ (1791) defended the French Revolution and articulated a vision of human rights that influenced both American and international democratic ideals. Paine’s ‘Age of Reason’, a treatise on religion and deism, showcased his rationalist and humanist philosophy. His literary style was straightforward and accessible, yet imbued with fiery rhetoric and impassioned logic. Paine’s writings combined a remarkable ability to popularize complex ideas, making his work a cornerstone of democratic thought. His collection, ‘The Greatest Works of Thomas Paine: 39 Books in One Edition’, offers comprehensive insight into the breadth and depth of his accomplishments as an influential literary and political figure.
