{"product_id":"the-thomas-paine-reader-9780140444964","title":"The Thomas Paine Reader","description":"This major collection demonstrates the extent to which Thomas Paine was an inspiration to the Americans in their struggle for independence, a passionate supporter of the French Revolution and perhaps the outstanding English radical writer of his age. It contains all of Paine's major works including\u003ci\u003e Rights of Man\u003c\/i\u003e, his groundbreaking defence of the revolutionary cause in France; \u003ci\u003eCommon Sense\u003c\/i\u003e, which won thousands over to the side of the American rebels; and the first part of \u003ci\u003eThe Age of Reason\u003c\/i\u003e, a ferocious attack on Christianity. The shorter pieces--on capital punishment, social reform and the abolition of slavery--also confirm the great versatility and power of this master of democratic prose. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFor more than seventy years, Penguin has been the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world.
