The first woman to be elected to The French Academy, the multi talented personality of Marguerite Yourcenar was a novelist, essayist, playwright, short story writer, poet and translator. She was an artist at reconstructing historical eras in the form of her novels. Her novels, dealing with modern issues set in historical eras won her immense fame as a writer.
The inheritance Yourcenar received after the death of her father, allowed her to devote herself to traveling and literary pursuits and love affairs on the Paris artistic scene. She joined a bohemian crowd of artists, moving between Paris, Lausanne, Athens, Istanbul, Brussels and the Greek islands, which inspired her travel writing "Nouvelles Orientales" and "Feux" based on Greek mythology.
Yourcenar was among the first female writers to live an openly lesbian lifestyle, and she moved to the USA in 1939 to live with her partner Grace Frick. The couple were to remain together until Frick’s death in 1979. She taught French History and History of Art, and continued to write: her novel "Mémoires d’Hadrien" was published in 1951 and enjoyed success with both the critics and the public worldwide.
She was an inveterate traveller and remained active right up to her death in 1987. She was a militant vegetarian and defender of the rights of animals and inspired Brigitte Bardot to set up her animal sanctuary.

又把尤瑟纳尔的《哈德良回忆录》法文版重读了一遍。这本八万字的小说是罗马皇帝哈德良的临终自述,全书都是第一人称叙述,讲述了哈德良自己一生的故事和对生命,世界,宇宙的感悟和认识。此次重读使我更加确定此书是一本伟大的小说,尤瑟纳尔是一个伟大的作家。此书最重要的价...
评分如果有兴致可以仔细比较一下这版和东方、三联那版,其实也不需要仔细,稍微翻一下,便高下立判。这版语言优雅,富有韵味,更能体现原文的气质。陈那版就不说啥了,居然还是翻译过很多世界名著的。翻译界之混乱,可见一斑。 不说版本,光看此书,绝对值得一读。她的书都非常值...
评分比起历史小说,我更愿意称本书为一部哲学小说或随笔。一般历史小说中那种跌宕起伏、激动人心的情节设计,那些极其细腻、乃至有些繁复的细节描写,到了本书中都被淡化,经历了主人公记忆的一层过滤,情节叙述变得平静,场景描写变得精炼概括。给我留下深刻印象的,反而是那些不...
评分这是现时北京市面上能够见到的《哈德良回忆录》唯一书面的读本,但是读完第一段便不知如何再继续下去。作为尤瑟纳尔最重要的一部恢弘史诗著作,这个译本叙事粗陋寡淡不说,尤瑟纳尔语言中特有的古典与优雅韵味也尽失,更别提获得其他什么阅读体验了。以前还觉得或许可以期待写...

Both an exploration of character and a reflection on the meaning of history, "Memoirs of Hadrian" has received international acclaim since its first publication in France in 1951. In it, Marguerite Yourcenar reimagines the Emperor Hadrian's arduous boyhood, his triumphs and reversals, and finally, as emperor, his gradual reordering of a war-torn world, writing with the imaginative insight of a great writer of the twentieth century while crafting a prose style as elegant and precise as those of the Latin stylists of Hadrian's own era.
读完一遍舍不得丢开,还想反复读,不停的读。我一向崇尚简单的语言,这本书让我领略另一种英文之美,由复杂句和生僻词精准砌出的迷宫般文字可以表达这样深邃清晰的智慧!看似历史小说,作者下的研究工夫不亚于学术著作,说是翻译,文字之令人叹服远胜很多英文原著。找到一本可以读上很多年的书多么幸福。
评分神马时候可以看法语本啊啊啊
评分终于读完了这本历史文学!尤瑟纳尔奶奶用自己特有的阳刚又兼具柔情的笔触极其细腻地刻画出哈德良大帝垂暮之际对自己一生的凝望。曾经的愤懑惆怅最终都渐渐安息;末尾描写对死亡的超然读来令人震撼!书中写哈德良和尚为孩童的奥勒留的交流最让我激动!
