Sir Franchise Bacon, My Favourite Author

Bacon, in the sense that his thirst for knowledge is unquestionable. He was interested in every branches of knowledge. He was not only a mere essayist but also a pioneer of science. He was a man of towering and powerful observation and he used this gift for the study of man. He is clearly seen in his essays, sometimes as a teacher, sometimes as a philosopher, and moralist. For all these reasons I like him a lot.
