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.

读后感

跨越两千年的历史文化长河，走进古罗马一位圣贤明君的内心世界无疑是十分困难的。然而在敏锐而渊博的尤瑟纳尔笔下，历史的灰烬被渐渐抹去、金子般的哲思熔炼留存，一位高贵、宁静、世事洞明、仿若有仙风的皇帝形象就完整而真实地展现在我们眼前。这无疑是一本需要被再三阅读并...  

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...  

当知道尤瑟纳尔的文集有了全套中文译本的时候，一瞬间记忆涌现，我看的第一本她的书，就是《哈德良回忆录》。 还是高一的时候，暑假里翘掉辅导课，泡在图书馆看书。列了一个长长的书单，一本本地找，当发现又这本《哈德良回忆录》的时候，激动得无以复加。 那时候迷上了古罗马...

应该打〇星。如果文字拙劣尚可算作译者之“过”，抄袭就是译者之“罪”了（详见http://book.douban.com/review/3216897/）陈筱卿这本书，是对原作的谋杀，对读者则涉嫌诈骗（若抄袭成立的话）。我多年前将他的书跟英译逐段对比，越看越生气，写到这里仍然不由得心头火起。这样...  

用户评价

看完了！力荐！ 刚看到第二章，真好看啊！“I hoped to discover the hinge where our wil meets and moves with destiny, and where discipline strengthens, instead of restraining." 这不就是庄子么？

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。

中文译文太搞笑了

vet nice and good.

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。。
