À propos de cet audio

 #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • From Pulitzer Prize–winning biographer Jon Meacham, “a big, grand, absorbing exploration of not just Jefferson and his role in history but also Jefferson the man, humanized as never before” (Entertainment Weekly)

“Probably the best single-volume biography of Jefferson ever written.”—Gordon S. Wood

A BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR: The New York Times Book Review, The Washington Post, Entertainment Weekly, The Seattle Times, St. Louis Post-Dispatch, BookPage

This magnificent biography brings vividly to life an extraordinary man and his remarkable times, giving us Thomas Jefferson the man, the politician, and the president. A Founder whose understanding of power and of human nature enabled him to move men and marshal ideas, to learn from his mistakes and to prevail, Jefferson was passionate about many things—women, his family, science, architecture, gardening, Monticello, Paris, and more. He strove, despite fierce opposition, to realize his vision: the creation, survival, and success of popular government in America.

Drawing on archives in the United States, England, and France, as well as unpublished transcripts of Jefferson presidential papers, Jon Meacham shows us the personal Jefferson, a man of appetite, sensuality, and passion. He also presents Jefferson as the most successful political leader of the early republic, and perhaps in all American history, a leader who found the means to endure and to win. His story resonates today not least because he led his nation through ferocious partisanship amid economic change and external threats. Jefferson also embodies an eternal drama, the struggle of the leadership of a nation to achieve greatness in a difficult and confounding world.

This is an excellent book pertaining to the life of Thomas Jefferson, and is very educational as long as you can discern the bias. The author clearly feels some attachment to Jefferson and openly goes again the accepted historical facts of the time to state his own views on the man.

A Great (but Biased) Book

This was a wonderful read. I realized how ignorant I was regarding one of the most famous individuals in the history of the world. Don’t let the length of this bio throw you off - the story of Jefferson is gripping and the pages fly by as you dig deeper into this man. Highly recommend this text.

It’s a good history and very detailed, but controversial aspects are losses over. I would have preferred a more detailed analysis of Jefferson’s time out of politics before becoming Vice-President.

Too biased

I love listening to biographies. I wear my wireless headphones and work as I listen. Listening to the biography about Thomas Jefferson in the time of Trump, I learnt that the 'more things change, the more they stay the same'.

Jefferson is one of my favourite Presidents and this book goes in depth into his entire life and philosophy. Anyone who has an interest in the revolution should absolutely read this book!
