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.
又把尤瑟纳尔的《哈德良回忆录》法文版重读了一遍。这本八万字的小说是罗马皇帝哈德良的临终自述,全书都是第一人称叙述,讲述了哈德良自己一生的故事和对生命,世界,宇宙的感悟和认识。此次重读使我更加确定此书是一本伟大的小说,尤瑟纳尔是一个伟大的作家。此书最重要的价...
評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...
評分很雅致的书,译笔十分恶劣,译者在罗马历史方面的知识令人不敢恭维 勉强还能看,如果不是译得这么烂我会打四星 每章的拉丁标题: Animula Vagula Blandula Varius Multiplex Multiformis Tellus Stabilita Saeculum Aureum Disciplina Augusta Patientia P241拉丁文...
評分应该打〇星。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...
評分公元138年,不堪病痛折磨的罗马皇帝哈德良几次自杀未遂,只得认命,皇帝掌握大小民族的兴衰,偏左右不了自家生死。于是耐下性子,在等待解脱的最后时日写下一部回忆录,后于当年十月驾崩。 公元1899年,三位牛津学者在埃及最古老的城市法尤姆发掘出几百卷残破的古代纸草文书,...
很建議一讀
评分vet nice and good.
评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。。
评分終於讀完瞭這本曆史文學!尤瑟納爾奶奶用自己特有的陽剛又兼具柔情的筆觸極其細膩地刻畫齣哈德良大帝垂暮之際對自己一生的凝望。曾經的憤懣惆悵最終都漸漸安息;末尾描寫對死亡的超然讀來令人震撼!書中寫哈德良和尚為孩童的奧勒留的交流最讓我激動!
评分夢想撫觸大理石般文字
