Founding Brothers pdf epub mobi txt 电子书 下载 2025
In this landmark work of history, the National Book Award—winning author of American Sphinx explores how a group of greatly gifted but deeply flawed individuals–Hamilton, Burr, Jefferson, Franklin, Washington, Adams, and Madison–confronted the overwhelming challenges before them to set the course for our nation.
The United States was more a fragile hope than a reality in 1790. During the decade that followed, the Founding Fathers–re-examined here as Founding Brothers–combined the ideals of the Declaration of Independence with the content of the Constitution to create the practical workings of our government. Through an analysis of six fascinating episodes–Hamilton and Burr’s deadly duel, Washington’s precedent-setting Farewell Address, Adams’ administration and political partnership with his wife, the debate about where to place the capital, Franklin’s attempt to force Congress to confront the issue of slavery and Madison’s attempts to block him, and Jefferson and Adams’ famous correspondence– Founding Brothers brings to life the vital issues and personalities from the most important decade in our nation’s history.

相当于一个描写美国开国各位国父的六幕历史剧。第一幕决斗很有意思!往下一直到华盛顿的告别,故事性和可读性似乎有点逐渐递减的味道。期待最后杰弗逊和亚当斯的恩恩怨怨能够把整个剧推向高潮。 另,回哥提醒第二幕晚餐本身的内容很重要啊~
评分大爷……
评分本来100页可以解决的事情硬是给写成了250页。太多的close reading和重复,但是确实有好多有趣的insights

评分带一本书去DC。
作者Joseph J. Ellis是历史教授,这本书拿了2000年的普利策奖(历史类),他更早的一本书American Sphinx拿了国家图书奖(NonFiction类)。 虽然是一本畅销书,但作者写作的态度很严谨,书后列了他不完整的参考资料,足足三十页,好几百条……然而作者并没有将其写成一部学术著作...
评分Hindsight, then, is a tricky tool. Too much of it and we obscure the all-pervasive sense of contingency as well as the problematic character of the choices facing the revolutionary generation. On the other hand, without some measure of hindsight, some panor...
评分作者提供了如何看待历史事件的一个方法框架。既置身于历史事件之中观察其细节并分析体会当时的情境,又以后代的眼光从更遥远宏大的角度去观察。如开篇中作者对“后见之明”的看法: 后见之明是一种很微妙的东西。一方面,我们若过于依赖它,就会忽视这样一个事实:偶然性是无所...
