这是历史体裁中唯一一本简明扼要地讲述美国进步和救赎历程的书,正如美国节日背后的故事所揭示的那样。有没有想过为什么每个人都想移民到美国?《重新发现美国》回答了这个问题,这是你从未遇到过的其他历史。这个故事不仅讲述了人物、日期和事件,还讲述了一个有目的的历史发展的隐藏之手,其中的主要演员都是多姿多彩的人物,参与了一部美国戏剧,讲述了鲜为人知但引人注目的事件,其中克服难以置信的失败几率比小说更令人难以置信,更引人入胜。虽然每一章都是一个独立的故事——有些相当荒诞——讲述了每一个美国节日背后的故事,但重新发现美国的吸引力在于将这些节日故事联系在一起的叙事,揭示了美国四百年来的进步和救赎——这在一本简洁易懂的书中是从未有过的。
Rediscovering America: How the National Holidays Tell an Amazing Story About Who We Are [Audiobook]
The only book ever written in the history genre that succinctly tells the progressive and redemptive course of America as revealed in the stories behind the American holidays. Ever wonder why everyone wants to immigrate to America? Rediscovering America answers that question, and it’s like no other history you have ever encountered. More than an account of people, dates, and events, this story is about the hidden hand of a purposeful historical development where the main actors are colorful characters, participating in an American drama of little-known but remarkable events where overcoming incredible odds of failure is more unbelievable and engaging than fiction. And while each chapter is a stand-alone tale – some quite wild – about what is behind each of the American holidays, the appeal of Rediscovering America is in the narratives that link the holiday stories together, revealing an account of progress and redemption in America covering over four hundred years – never before told in a concise and listenable book.
