亚伯拉罕·林肯用清晰而又感人的散文来衡量美国自由的前景和代价，这些散文以其天生的机智、简洁的表达方式和独特的美国风格而闻名。本书包含了有史以来较为全面的选集，超过240次的演讲、信件和草稿使林肯从农村的法律实践中脱颖而出，并记录了他作为雄辩的反奴隶制倡导者和宪法捍卫者的崛起，其中包括美国的政治史上极其有名的对抗——林肯-道格拉斯辩论。

Abraham Lincoln measured the promise—and cost—of American freedom in lucid and extraordinarily moving prose, famous for its native wit, simple dignity of expressions, and peculiarly American flavor. This volume, with its companion, Abraham Lincoln: Speeches and Writing 1859–1865, comprises the most comprehensive selection ever published. over 240 speeches, letters, and drafts take Lincoln from rural law practice to national prominence, and chart his emergence as an eloquent antislavery advocate and defender of the constitution. included are the complete Lincoln-Douglas debates, perhaps the most famous confrontation in American political history.
