Features: Thomas Jefferson, one of the leaders of the American independence movement and one of the drafters of the famous "Declaration of Independence of the United States of America," is a figure for whom no single word can fully describe his life. He was erudite and versatile, serving as both a scholar and a diplomat, an architect and an art enthusiast. His curiosity was aroused in almost every field, from natural sciences to humanities. His historical status is undeniable, but he was also controversial. This book presents the real Jefferson. The book is divided into five parts: "The Forests and Fields of Virginia," "Resolutely Opposing Various Forms of Tyranny," "Immersed in the Bustling European Scene," and others, chronicling the life of Jefferson.
