追求杰斐逊：与最令人困惑的开国元勋周游欧洲[有声读物]

一位备受争议的开国元勋。一个准备好改变的人。以及一次完全独特的欧洲之旅。1784年，托马斯·杰斐逊是一个精神崩溃的人。在独立战争期间，他因失去妻子和政治丑闻而痛苦不堪，需要重塑自己。在欧洲漫游时，杰斐逊看到并学到了尽可能多的东西，最终把他的知识带回了一个年轻的美国。在那里，他将掌权并塑造一个国家。两百多年后，美国历史爱好者德里克·巴克斯特（Derek Baxter）偶然发现了杰斐逊（Jefferson）写的一本晦涩难懂的旅行指南，在他经历个人危机时，该指南为美国人穿越欧洲提供了提示。
有谁能比一位开国元勋本人更好地提供建议呢？但巴克斯特所学到的并不总是杰斐逊所想的，随着他对杰斐逊的理解越来越深入，他并不总是喜欢他所发现的。《追求杰斐逊》一书讲述了一次改变人生的欧洲之旅，对一位开国元勋的坚定审视，以及一次感人的个人旅程。凭借丰富的历史细节、幽默感和无穷无尽的心，巴克斯特探索了只有先回顾，我们才能更好地向前迈进。
In Pursuit of Jefferson: Traveling Through Europe with the Most Perplexing Founding Father [Audiobook]
A controversial founding father. A man ready for a change. And a completely unique trip through Europe. In 1784, Thomas Jefferson was a broken man. Reeling from the loss of his wife and stung from a political scandal during the Revolutionary war, he needed to remake himself. Wandering through Europe, Jefferson saw and learned as much as he could, ultimately bringing his knowledge home to a young America. There, he would rise to power and shape a nation. More than two hundred years later, Derek Baxter, a devotee of American history, stumbles on an obscure travel guide written by Jefferson—Hints for Americans Traveling Through Europe—as he’s going through his own personal crisis.
Who better to offer advice than a founding father himself? But what Baxter learns isn’t always what Jefferson had in mind, and as he comes to understand Jefferson better, he doesn’t always like what he finds. In Pursuit of Jefferson is at once the story of a life-changing trip through Europe, an unflinching look at a founding father, and a moving personal journey. With rich historical detail, a sense of humor, and boundless heart, Baxter explores how we can be better moving forward only by first looking back.
