El historiador y autor bestseller, Walter Isaacson analiza detalladamente la segunda oración de la Declaración de Independencia de Estados Unidos, la frase más revolucionaria de la historia y que debería regir la política del presente. "Sostenemos como evidentes estas verdades..." La segunda oración de la Declaración de Independencia de Estados Unidos, escrita por Thomas Jefferson y revisada por Benjamin Franklin y John Adams, se convirtió en un credo que unió a peregrinos e inmigrantes en una sola nación. Para personas de tan diferentes orígenes y creencias, la frase resultó la definición última del bien común y del Sueño Americano. Pero incluso quienes conocen de memoria la famosa expresión, no siempre logran apreciar su profunda sabiduría. A más de 250 años de firmada la Declaración que fundó a un país, el historiador y autor de súper ventas Walter Isaacson analiza y celebra, palabra por palabra, su origen, significado y cómo debe honrarse en estos tiempos. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION America's bestselling biographer reveals the origins of the most revolutionary sentence in the Declaration of Independence, the one that defines who we are as Americans--and explains how it should shape our politics today. "Isaacson uses a jeweler's loupe to scan what gives his snappy little book its engaging title....Isaacson skillfully teases fresh pith and resonance out of those familiar words." --The Wall Street Journal "A short, smart analysis of perhaps the most famous passage in American history reveals its potency and unfulfilled promise." --Kirkus Reviews Description To celebrate America's 250th anniversary, Walter Isaacson takes readers on a fascinating deep dive into the creation of one of history's most powerful sentences: "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness." Drafted by Thomas Jefferson and edited by Benjamin Franklin and John Adams, this line lays the foundation for the American Dream and defines the common ground we share as a nation. Isaacson unpacks its genius, word by word, illuminating the then-radical concepts behind it. Readers will gain a fresh appreciation for how it was drafted to inspire unity, equality, and the enduring promise of America. With clarity and insight, he reveals not just the power of these words but describes how, in these polarized times, we can use them to restore an appreciation for our common values.
