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.

评分我想看看那个为人议论的陈译烂句有无所本: 「我又见到了夜里披着散发的歪侧着的脑袋和眼睑的延伸部分使其显得斜视的眼睛以及好像沉入梦乡的宽阔的年轻的脸庞。」(东方出版社,2002年,陈筱卿译,163页) 好,来看看旧译: 「我重新见到了夜里披着散发的歪侧的脑袋,眼睑的...
评分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...

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.
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
评分一副徐徐展开的画卷。所见之处是极致的美。你仿佛触摸到哈德裏安的思想,借由他的灵魂去看,去听,去感受......妙不可言。
评分vet nice and good.
