Memoirs of Hadrian

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.

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.

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...

1.凡人追求任何一种享乐，或以禁欲或纵欲方式得之，充其量，只是牵连自己。 2.在一些最不属于肉体关系的来往中，其实依然是透过肉体的触感使我们的感情突然休止或因应而生。 3.我之所以放弃绝大部分过分死板的享乐，或者我之所以没有陷入太深，还得归功于机运的安排，而不是...

A famous book, but not good for me. Mostly a bit of this and that, here and there, love, war, laws, travels, mourning, old age. It lacks focus and depth. For me, the most interesting part is his meditation about death. It rings genuine feelings. But again...

“惊为天人”

18-19年读书计划，半英半中读完。不算难懂，年纪大了就习惯看真的假的回忆录。

“惊为天人”

去年读了台译本后来补了英文，行云流水的文字有一种极致的古典美。未来几年的愿望是学好法语去读法语版，不能站在法语的语境去读Yourcenar太可惜啦；想去荒山岛，想在荒山岛用一个冬天读Youcenar | 补充：瞄了一眼法文版，感觉英翻比法文原版确实要稍逊一些。。

这大约就是好的历史小说（类型文学）与严肃文学的区别。不是厚此薄彼的意思。前者你读到的是好故事，好人物，好情感。后者，除此以外，或者缺乏这些元素，但是你读到了你自己。它写的不是你，但你读到的是你自己
