Product Description

Product Description
Throughout history, some books have changed the world. They have transformed the way we see ourselves – and each other. They have inspired debate, dissent, war and revolution. They have enlightened, outraged, provoked and comforted. They have enriched lives – and destroyed them. Now Penguin brings you the works of the great thinkers, pioneers, radicals and visionaries whose ideas shook civilization, and helped make us who we are.

About the Author
Thomas Paine was born in1737 at Thetford, Norfolk in England, as a son of a Quaker. He immigrated to America in 1774. There he published works criticising the slavery and supporting American independence. He became very popular but returned to England where he became involved in the French Revolution. After that he returned to America where he died in 1802.

First Sentence
Some writers have so confounded society with government, as to leave little or no distinction between them; whereas they are not only different, but have different origins. Read the first page

4.0 out of 5 stars V good intro to Thomas Paine, 19 Dec 2008
By SJB (London, England) - See all my reviews
Anyone who detests the English monarchy with as much vehemence as TP can't be all bad in my book. Seen as a catalystic influence in consolidating the wave of indepent feeling insurrected in the US against British colonial rule, this book more for me was a welcome intro into the mind of a hitherto unknown wise and lucid thinker.
