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.

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...

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。
评分有点太文学勒
