Augustus pdf epub mobi txt 電子書 下載2025
John Williams (1922–1994) was born and raised in northeast Texas. Despite a talent for writing and acting, Williams flunked out of a local junior college after his first year. He reluctantly joined the war effort, enlisting in the Army Air Corps, and managed to write a draft of his first novel while there. Once home, Williams found a small publisher for the novel and enrolled at the University of Denver, where he was eventually to receive both his B.A. and M.A., and where he was to return as an instructor in 1954.
He remained on the staff of the creative writing program at the University of Denver until his retirement in 1985. During these years, he was an active guest lecturer and writer, editing an anthology of English Renaissance poetry and publishing two volumes of his own poems, as well as three novels, Butcher’s Crossing, Stoner, and the National Book Award–winning Augustus (all published as NYRB Classics).
Daniel Mendelsohn was born in 1960 and studied classics at the University of Virginia and at Princeton, where he received his doctorate. His essays and reviews appear regularly in The New York Review of Books, The New Yorker, and The New York Times Book Review. His books include The Lost: A Search for Six of Six Million; a memoir, The Elusive Embrace; and the collection Waiting for the Barbarians: Essays from the Classics to Pop Culture, published by New York Review Books. He teaches at Bard College. His essay in the September 25, 2014 issue will appear as the introduction to a new translation of The Bacchae by Robin Robertson, to be published in September by Ecco.

In Augustus, his third great novel, John Williams took on an entirely new challenge, a historical narrative set in classical Rome, exploring the life of the founder of the Roman Empire. To tell the story, Williams turned to the epistolary novel, a genre that was new to him, transforming and transcending it just as he did the western in Butcher’s Crossing and the campus novel in Stoner. Augustus is the final triumph of a writer who has come to be recognized around the world as an American master.

讀後感
美國作傢約翰·威廉斯1922年齣生於德剋薩斯州，兩年的兵役期結束後，終其一生都在大學任教。他齣版過四本小說（《唯有黑夜》《屠夫十字鎮》《斯通納》《奧古斯都》），留下一部未竟之作《理性的沉睡》。作為小說傢，他的經曆平穩而安全，研究的是小說，寫作的是小說，最後以教...
評分一個個矛盾的人物穿插上演瞭這齣羅馬史詩，每一個人物塑造地都極其好，極其豐滿生動。這不止是奧古斯都一個人的傳奇，如果說奧古斯都是月，配角是星，這本書就構成瞭很美很美的一幕星河夜景，令人嘆息，令人唏噓。宿命的感覺，難逃又無處可尋的無奈感。 奧古斯都·凱撒，19歲組...
評分兩年前，我有幸拜讀瞭作傢的另一部作品：《斯通納》，發自內心的喜歡，因此做過一篇極為斧鑿，略有些做作的讀後感。及到這本《奧古斯都》，從購買到閱讀都沒有任何猶豫，同樣的喜歡甚至可以說是更加喜歡，所以抑製不住，同時又不勝惶恐的寫下這篇讀後感。 並沒有刻意與《斯通納...
評分他被尊為“奧古斯都”，他把二月抽齣瞭一天；他是八月名稱的由來；他是曆史上偉大帝國的開創者；他被曆史選中，也同樣選擇瞭曆史，他就是蓋烏斯·屋大維·奧古斯都，羅馬帝國的開創者。周末資本市場停盤，閑來無事續接前篇讀完瞭約翰·威廉斯的曆史文學巨著《奧古斯都》，值得...

帝王外錶下有著平實而純樸的靈魂。
评分第三捲陡高！
评分2.作者在小說中所錶現的對細節的恢復：計時飲食等 3.呼應是否過於刻意？
评分好書好書好書╰(*°▽°*)╯細節超贊，需要再看一遍縷縷
评分今年晚春和初鼕把這本書聽瞭兩遍，細膩與壯闊比起尤瑟納爾的《哈德良迴憶錄》均有過之而無不及，念的也非常好。
