A proposito di questo titolo
 In this powerful two-part work, published in 1791 and 1792, Thomas Paine boldly confronts Edmund Burkes defense of monarchy and critiques the opposition to the French Revolution. With clarity and wit, Paine explores the origins of monarchy and the inalienable rights of mankind, making complex ideas accessible to all. The second part delves into the advantages of constitutional government, advocating for republicanism and social welfare. Paines compelling arguments against hereditary rule and dictatorial governance were revolutionary for his time, ultimately leading to his imprisonment and a narrow escape from the guillotine. This audio rendition, thoughtfully divided into parts for easier listening, captures the essence of Paines vision—an early and complete articulation of republican principles that resonates even today. Join Michele Fry and AdeledePignerolles as they bring this significant work to life.

    Common Sense (version 2)-Thomas Paine
    Nov 7 2026
    Common Sense (version 2) by Thomas Paine.

    Thomas Paine has a claim to the title The Father of the American Revolution because of Common Sense, the pro-independence monograph pamphlet he anonymously published on January 10, 1776; signed "Written by an Englishman", the pamphlet became an immediate success. It quickly spread among the literate, and, in three months, 100,000 copies (estimated 500,000 total including pirated editions sold during the course of the Revolution) sold throughout the American British colonies (with only two million free inhabitants), making it the best-selling book ever. Paine's original title for the pamphlet was Plain Truth; Paine's friend, pro-independence advocate Benjamin Rush, suggested Common Sense instead. The pamphlet appeared in January 1776, after the Revolution had started.
