Περιγραφή για Democracy in America: And Two Essays on America Alexis Tocqueville Penguin Classics

One of the most influential political texts ever written on America, and an indispensable authority on the nature of democracy In 1831 Alexis de Tocqueville, a young French aristocrat and civil servant, made a nine-month journey through eastern America. The result was Democracy in America, a monumental study of the strengths and weaknesses of the nation\'s evolving politics. Tocqueville looked to the flourishing democratic system in America as a possible model for post-revolutionary France, believing its egalitarian ideals reflected the spirit of the age. This edition, the only one that contains all Tocqueville\'s writings on America, includes the rarely translated \'Two Weeks in the Wilderness\', an evocative account of Tocqueville\'s travels among the Iroquois and Chippeway, and \'Excursion to Lake Oneida\'. Translated by Gerald Bevan with an Introduction and Notes by Isaac Kramnick Σελίδες: 992, Διαστάσεις: 12.9x12.9cm
