Among friends and enemies alike, Paine earned a reputation as a notorious pamphleteer, one of the greatest political figures of his day, and the author of three best-selling books, Common Sense, The Rights of Man, and The Age of Reason. Setting his compelling narrative against a vivid social backdrop of prerevolutionary America and the French Revolution, John Keane melds together the public and the shadowy private sides of Paine's life in a remarkable piece of scholarship. This is the definitive biography of a man whose life and work profoundly shaped the modern age. \"Provide[s] an engaging perspective on England, America, and France in the tumultuous years of the late eighteenth century.\" -- Pauline Maier, The New York Times Book Review \"It is hard to imagine this magnificent biography ever being superceded.... It is a stylish, splendidly erudite work.\" -- Terry Eagleton, The Guardian\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 672\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.9 x 9 x 5.9 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e January 21, 2003\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51761374888224,"sku":"9780802139641","price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9764\/5344\/files\/99a19f79956af678cc9a6089bf73cf2c.webp?v=1780205904","url":"https:\/\/ebocreations.com\/products\/tom-paine-a-political-life-paperback","provider":"The E-Book Oasis LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
