About this audiobook
This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice.
America in 1831: a young democracy bustling with promise and peril. French aristocrat Alexis de Tocqueville, captivated by this burgeoning nation, delves beyond prisons, his initial task, to explore the very soul of America. In "Democracy in America" (Volume 1), he dissects the unique conditions that birthed this democratic experiment - a society built on equality, individualism, and a vibrant civil society. But amidst the hope, Tocqueville warns of shadows lurking: the "tyranny of the majority" and the creeping hand of an overreaching government. Embark on this timeless journey through Tocqueville's insightful lens and discover the enduring strengths and challenges that define American democracy.
