LibriVox recording of Common Sense, by Thomas Paine. Read by Gary Gilberd.
Common Sense, Paine's pro-independence monograph published anonymously on 10 January 1776, spread quickly among literate colonists. Within three months, 120,000 copies are alleged to have been distributed throughout the colonies, which themselves totaled only four million free inhabitants, making it the best-selling work in 18th-century America. Its total sales in both America and Europe reached 500,000 copies. It convinced many colonists, including George Washington and John Adams, to seek redress in political independence from the Kingdom of Great Britain, and argued strongly against any compromise short of independence. (Summary from Wikipedia).
《常识》，托马斯佩恩在独立战争前于1776年1月10日匿名发表，迅速在殖民地传播开来。三个月内，据称此书已发行十二万册，而在北美十三殖民地当时总共只有四百万自由居民，这使之成为18世纪美洲最畅销的图书。它在北美和欧洲的总销量达到五十万册。它说服了包括华盛顿和约翰•亚当斯在内的许多殖民地居民，为寻求脱离大英帝国政治独立而努力，同时驳斥一切折中方案。（Summary from Wikipedia）
