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.

這是現時北京市麵上能夠見到的《哈德良迴憶錄》唯一書麵的讀本,但是讀完第一段便不知如何再繼續下去。作為尤瑟納爾最重要的一部恢弘史詩著作,這個譯本敘事粗陋寡淡不說,尤瑟納爾語言中特有的古典與優雅韻味也盡失,更彆提獲得其他什麼閱讀體驗瞭。 以上是douban上某位的評...
評分這是現時北京市麵上能夠見到的《哈德良迴憶錄》唯一書麵的讀本,但是讀完第一段便不知如何再繼續下去。作為尤瑟納爾最重要的一部恢弘史詩著作,這個譯本敘事粗陋寡淡不說,尤瑟納爾語言中特有的古典與優雅韻味也盡失,更彆提獲得其他什麼閱讀體驗瞭。 以上是douban上某位的評...
評分1.凡人追求任何一種享樂,或以禁欲或縱欲方式得之,充其量,隻是牽連自己。 2.在一些最不屬於肉體關係的來往中,其實依然是透過肉體的觸感使我們的感情突然休止或因應而生。 3.我之所以放棄絕大部分過分死闆的享樂,或者我之所以沒有陷入太深,還得歸功於機運的安排,而不是...
評分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...
評分如果有興緻可以仔細比較一下這版和東方、三聯那版,其實也不需要仔細,稍微翻一下,便高下立判。這版語言優雅,富有韻味,更能體現原文的氣質。陳那版就不說啥瞭,居然還是翻譯過很多世界名著的。翻譯界之混亂,可見一斑。 不說版本,光看此書,絕對值得一讀。她的書都非常值...
圖書標籤: 曆史 法國文學 羅馬 Yourcenar 尤瑟納爾 外國文學 瑪格麗特·尤瑟納爾 英譯本
好多年前瞭,還是yy薦讀的。恢弘。
評分很建議一讀
評分去年讀瞭颱譯本後來補瞭英文,行雲流水的文字有一種極緻的古典美。未來幾年的願望是學好法語去讀法語版,不能站在法語的語境去讀Yourcenar太可惜啦;想去荒山島,想在荒山島用一個鼕天讀Youcenar | 補充:瞄瞭一眼法文版,感覺英翻比法文原版確實要稍遜一些。。
評分超絕好看!fiction and poetry!尤其是寫Antinous的那些章節真是……不過這本看下來最強烈的感覺就是人類的感官接收到的信息實在是太有力量瞭。寫得超級贊的段落太多瞭,劃綫完全停不下來。每次都是在旅途中看離彆_(:з」∠)_……結果看完這本都不知道下一本看什麼纔能比得上瞭
評分這大約就是好的曆史小說(類型文學)與嚴肅文學的區彆。不是厚此薄彼的意思。前者你讀到的是好故事,好人物,好情感。後者,除此以外,或者缺乏這些元素,但是你讀到瞭你自己。它寫的不是你,但你讀到的是你自己
