LINCOLN'S VIRTUES(ISBN=9780375701733) 英文原版 azw3 极速 lit 地址 下载 rb pdf mobi

William Lee Miller’s ethical biography is a fresh, engaging

telling of the story of Lincoln’s rise to power. Through careful

scrutiny of Lincoln’s actions, speeches, and writings, and of

accounts from those who knew him, Miller gives us insight into the

moral development of a great politician — one who made the choice

to go into politics, and ultimately realized that vocation’s

fullest moral possibilities.

As Lincoln’s Virtues makes refreshingly clear, Lincoln was

not born with his face on Mount Rushmore; he was an actual human

being making choices — moral choices — in a real world. In an

account animated by wit and humor, Miller follows this unschooled

frontier politician’s rise, showing that the higher he went and the

greater his power, the worthier his conduct would become. He would

become that rare bird, a great man who was also a good man.

Uniquely revealing of its subject’s heart and mind, it represents a

major contribution to our understanding and of Lincoln, and to the

perennial American discussion of the relationship between politics

and morality.
