JOHN ADAMS.

內容簡介

內容簡介 The Pulitzer Prize–winning, bestselling biography of America’s founding father and second president that was the basis for the acclaimed HBO series, brilliantly told by master historian David McCullough.In this powerful, epic biography, David McCullough unfolds the adventurous life journey of John Adams, the brilliant, fiercely independent, often irascible, always honest Yankee patriot who spared nothing in his zeal for the American Revolution; who rose to become the second president of the United States and saved the country from blundering into an unnecessary war; who was learned beyond all but a few and regarded by some as “out of his senses”; and whose marriage to the wise and valiant Abigail Adams is one of the moving love stories in American history. This is history on a grand scale—a book about politics and war and social issues, but also about human nature, love, religious faith, virtue, ambition, friendship, and betrayal, and the far-reaching consequences of noble ideas. Above all, John Adams is an enthralling, often surprising story of one of the most important and fascinating Americans who ever lived.

各界推薦

各界推薦 美國第二任總統約翰‧亞當斯沒有顯赫的身世，他是麻州農夫的後裔。身材五短、相貌粗野、脾氣火爆，講起話來咄咄逼人，與安靜斯文、一副名士派頭的傑弗遜相比，就像野蠻人一樣。在過世175年之後，由寫作風格客觀細膩的麥可洛夫為他作傳，訴說樸實無華、熱愛家庭、極力維護獨立建國的事蹟，表明了美國傳統的復興。 本書為直接向國外出版社訂購之新書,加上空運以及作業時間,讀者下單後預計3週出貨。
