The revolutionary pamphlet that helped light the fire of American Independence in an elegant hardback gift edition.

Thomas Paine arrived in America from England in 1774. A friend of Benjamin Franklin, he was a writer of poetry and tracts condemning the slave trade. In 1775, as hostilities between Britain and the colonies intensified, Paine wrote Common Sense to encourage the colonies to break the British exploitative hold and fight for independence. The little booklet of 50 pages was published January 10, 1776 and sold a half-million copies, approximately equal to 75 million copies today.

About the Author

Thomas Paine (1737-1809) was an English-American Founding Father, inventor, political philosopher, and statesman. He wrote Common Sense (1776) and The American Crisis (1776-1783) at the start of the American Revolution and both pamphlets were significant drivers of the patriot cause. His landmark political tracts inspired the American Declaration of Independence and human rights advocacy to this day.
