"description": "LibriVox recording of Rights Of Man by Thomas Paine.Read in English by Michele Fry; Edward Kirkby
A book in 2 Parts, published in 1791 and 1792. Part First denounces Edmund Burke\u2019s defense of monarchy and his attacks against the French Revolution, and in plain layman\u2019s language traces the birth and fallacy of monarchy, and the source of man's inalienable rights. Part Second examines the roots and benefits of constitutional government. Written with Paine's dry wit and hard hitting logic, in layman's language, the book was widely circulated in Europe and America. Considered the earliest complete statement of republican principles, Paine opposes the idea of hereditary kings and speaks against the belief in dictatorial government as necessary to a well-managed society. Paine's visionary call for republicanism and social welfare was generations ahead of its time, and landed him in prison and narrowly escaping the guillotine! NOTE: Long chapters of this document have been divided into Parts to comply with audio file size requirements. While not designated thus by Paine, every effort has been made to create logical divisions.( ~ Summary by Michele Fry)
