A powerful new translation of de Tocqueville’s influential look at the origins of modern France
In this penetrating study, Alexis de Tocqueville considers the French Revolution in the context of France’s history. de Tocqueville worried that although the revolutionary spirit was still alive and well, liberty was no longer its primary objective. Just as the first Republic had fallen to Napoleon and the second had succumbed to his nephew Napoleon III, he feared that all future revolutions might experience the same fate, forever imperiling the development of democracy in France.

Alexis de Tocqueville was born in 1805 to a noble French family that had survived the French Revolution. His father gained some political power under the reign of the Bourbons, and after the July Revolution of 1830, the family was exiled along with the king. Tocqueville, then twenty-five years old, stayed in France, swearing allegiance to the new government. Shortly thereafter he and a friend, Gustave de Beaumont, sought and received a government assignment to study the prison system of the United States. They arrived in America in 1831. After extensive travels across the young nation, Tocqueville wrote Democracy in America (published in two volumes in 1835 and 1840). The publication of the first volume made Tocqueville a well-known figure, but he led a quiet life, accepting modest governmental posts, traveling around Europe, and marrying an Englishwoman. In 1848, Tocqueville once again rose to political prominence after a prescient speech that foretold of revolution. After serving through the massive upheavals and overthrows of government, Tocqueville retired from political life in 1849. Always weak in health, his lung disease grew progressively worse from that period on. Moving south several times on doctor’s recommendations, Tocqueville succumbed to death in 1859, in Cannes.

“不含偏见，饱含深情”，托克维尔果然说到做到。文风洗炼，完全不同于有些唠唠叨叨、味同嚼蜡的文字。第三编第一章，论及文人的浪漫情怀对于法国大革命的推动，堪称经典。

和伯克的《革命反思》对着读，两人同所谓保守，对革命的批判出发点其实截然对立

一学期“宪法经典著作选读”的研讨课上完，基本读完了本书的英文版，不论其内容如何，对于本人的英文有莫大的帮助，也发觉英文书大部分其实比中文更容易让我理解（可以这样说吗？）😂；内容上真是有很多启发，托克维尔提出的很多箴言似的论断很多其实在我阅读历史的时候若有若无出现过，但托克维尔基本上都做了天才似的详尽总结。题外话是总觉得和东大的情况有遥相呼应的感觉。。。
