内容简介
National Bestseller
To this landmark biography of our first president, Joseph J. Ellis brings the exacting scholarship, shrewd analysis, and lyric prose that have made him one of the premier historians of the Revolutionary era. Training his lens on a figure who sometimes seems as remote as his effigy on Mount Rushmore, Ellis assesses George Washington as a military and political leader and a man whose "statue-like solidity" concealed volcanic energies and emotions.
Here is the impetuous young officer whose miraculous survival in combat half-convinced him that he could not be killed. Here is the free-spending landowner whose debts to English merchants instilled him with a prickly resentment of imperial power. We see the general who lost more battles than he won and the reluctant president who tried to float above the partisan feuding of his cabinet. His Excellency is a magnificent work, indispensable to an understanding not only of its subject but also of the nation he brought into being.
和华盛顿的其他传记相比,本书无意为这位在独立战争中和制宪会议上,两次缔造美国的伟大人物,再涂抹一层神化的色彩。作者对华盛顿做出了大胆、最贴切人性的揣测,坦言这个人在成为英雄之间,形象并不完美。作者的深意,在于揭示一个真实而平凡的人,如何成为一个伟大的人,尤其是在革命成功之后身处权力*时,如何获得对权力的免疫力,从而出演了人类历*伟大的退场。
呈现在我们面前的是一个有血有肉的人,而不是一尊冷冰冰的大理石雕像。作者埃利斯无意以今天的道德标准来评价功过是非,而是从华盛顿所处的时代来看待他的伟大成就,和在他生活中逐渐养成的思维模式和明晰的个性。正如作者精准睿智的描述:华盛顿无愧为“国父之父,他是所有这些人的先驱者”。
