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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFor more than seventy years, Penguin has been the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world.
