书籍简介

《纽约时报》畅销书，美国独立书店畅销书榜首历史上很少有人能与拉法耶特侯爵的革命生涯相提并论。在革命时代的中心地带，他在大西洋两岸勇敢地战斗了50多年，令人难以置信。他是一位军人、政治家、理想主义者、慈善家和废奴主义者。

少年时，拉法耶特从法国出走，参加了美国革命。回国后，他成为民族英雄，帮助发起了法国大革命，在地牢监狱中度过了五年时间。获释后，拉法耶特与拿破仑争吵，加入了推翻国王路易十八的地下阴谋，并成为国际自由的象征。

作为一个受人尊敬的老政治家，他在1830年的革命中为推翻波旁王朝发挥了作用。从热情洋溢的青年到厌世的老年，从荣耀到绝望的深渊，拉法耶特从未停止为全人类的权利而奋斗。他非凡的一生是我们来自哪里的故事，也是对捍卫他所珍视的理想的激励。

A NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLERA #1 ABA INDEPENDENT BOOKSTORE BESTSELLERFew in history can match the revolutionary career of the Marquis de Lafayette. Over fifty incredible years at the heart of the Age of Revolution, he fought courageously on both sides of the Atlantic. He was a soldier, statesman, idealist, philanthropist, and abolitionist.

As a teenager, Lafayette ran away from France to join the American Revolution. Returning home a national hero, he helped launch the French Revolution, eventually spending five years locked in dungeon prisons. After his release, Lafayette sparred with Napoleon, joined an underground conspiracy to overthrow King Louis XVIII, and became an international symbol of liberty.

Finally, as a revered elder statesman, he was instrumental in the overthrow of the Bourbon Dynasty in the Revolution of 1830. From enthusiastic youth to world-weary old age, from the pinnacle of glory to the depths of despair, Lafayette never stopped fighting for the rights of all mankind. His remarkable life is the story of where we come from, and an inspiration to defend the ideals he held dear.
