Alexis de Tocqueville (1805-1859) is familiar to readers as the author of Democracy in America, the most-quoted book written about the United States. The Old Regime and the Revolution is Tocqueville's great meditation on the origins and meanings of the French Revolution. One of the most profound and influential studies of this pivotal event, it remains a relevant and stimulating discussion of the problem of preserving individual and political freedom in the modern world. Writing in 1851, Tocqueville showed the continuity of French political behavior and social attitudes before and after the Revolution. He discussed the dangers to political freedom posed by tendencies towards government centralization and persistent class hostility that endured from the old regime to the Revolution and beyond.
Alan Kahan's new translation finally provides a faithful and readable rendering in English of Tocqueville's last masterpiece, surpassing existing English editions of the work which are now decades old. The first translation to be based on the forthcoming French critical edition, it includes notes and variants, which reveal Tocqueville's sources as well as new material from his drafts and revisions. The reader will also find a new introduction and other discussions by France's most eminent scholars on Tocqueville and the French Revolution, Françoise Mélonio and the late François Furet.
A major scholarly event, this handsomely produced book will be the definitive English edition of one of the great books in modern intellectual history.
François Furet (1992-1997) was the leading French historian of the Revolution and, according to the New York Times, "one of the most influential French thinkers of the post-war era." Françoise Mélonio is the editor of Gallimard's critical edition of Tocqueville's complete works.
"Françoise Furet . . . challenged the popular Marxist interpretation of the French Revolution and reshaped French thinking about subsequent events. His lifelong fascination with the French Revolution and his many books on it . . . earned him a special place among historians."-New York Times, 16 July 1997
First published in 1856, Tocqueville's examination of the French Revolution is perhaps a most important contribution to our understaning of this keystone of modern history.

读多少遍也会觉得好看的一本书。托克维尔和英译文笔都十分流畅，托对民主制度的敏锐观察更是振聋发聩。托一方面肯定法革中人民推翻封建制度的成就，一方面提出高涨的民间热情与抽象的哲学概念无法与有益于维护自由的旧制度兼容，于是旧社会的废墟上生出了更为集权的新政府，自由成为了革命的牺牲品。

公知哲学家一天到晚想着指点江山当国师，但是缺乏最基本的政治经验；也恰恰是因为这个国家政治参与不广泛，大多数民众缺乏政治经验，公知哲学家才能招摇撞骗

第一遍，这个长假要把托克维尔的主要著作各读至少两遍，非常优雅的文笔，即使从阅读英文的经验中也可以感受到。
