Description

About The Book: "Poor Richard's Almanack" was an annual publication by Benjamin Franklin under the pseudonym "Poor Richard." Published from 1732 to 1758, it was immensely popular in the Thirteen Colonies, offering weather forecasts, household tips, and Franklin's witty aphorisms. Using the persona of "Richard Saunders," Franklin delivered practical advice with humor and satire, distancing himself from the character. Serialized stories and predictions, like the famous one involving Titan Leeds, boosted its popularity. Despite criticism for reflecting social norms, it had a lasting cultural impact and inspired subsequent almanacs, earning its place in American literature.
