Marguerite Yourcenar is one of the most acclaimed writers of the twentieth century. Author of over twenty books--of which Hadrian is her acknowledged masterpiece--she was the first woman elected to the Academie Française. She died in 1987.
In her magnificent novel, Marguerite Yourcenor recreates the life and death of one of the great rulers of the ancient world. The Emperor Hadrian, aware his demise is imminent, writes a long valedictory letter to Marcus Aurelius, his future successor. The Emperor meditates on his past, describing his accession, military triumphs, love of poetry and music, and the philosophy that informed his powerful and far-flung rule. A work of superbly detailed research and sustained empathy, Memoirs of Hadrian captures the living spirit of the Emperor and of Ancient Rome.

一個老人以平靜的心態迴顧他的一生, there is nothing he would add or take away. 活色生香的羅馬世界感官細節編織進行雲流水般的哲思框架,無論是肉體還是那個接近靈魂的東西都得到無比滿足。完全摺服於她下筆的從容和優雅;我覺得她做到捕捉那個古典世界的憂鬱瞭——但更重要的是,那是完完全全人類的時代,在諸神的時代落幕而耶穌還未到來時。With somber elegance and grace Yourcenar captures the pensive gaze we fix on that ebony which might as well be infinity.
