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

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...  

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...

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...

希腊游后遗症发作中……

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？

超绝好看！fiction and poetry！尤其是写Antinous的那些章节真是……不过这本看下来最强烈的感觉就是人类的感官接收到的信息实在是太有力量了。写得超级赞的段落太多了，划线完全停不下来。每次都是在旅途中看离别_(:з」∠)_……结果看完这本都不知道下一本看什么才能比得上了

很建议一读
