具体描述

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.

作者简介

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.

奥古斯都,罗马帝国第一位元首,“罗马第一公民”,原名盖乌斯•屋大维•图里努斯,恺撒的甥外孙和养子。他的故事被各种方式不断演绎。约翰•威廉斯在小说《奥古斯都》中采用了别致的书信体形式,从奥古斯都同时代人和自己的角度,用不同碎片拼凑起一个大家眼中的奥古斯...

我承認,在閱讀本書之前,我並不知道約翰‧威廉斯這位作家,他一生的作品不多,都是我不感興趣的。而這部《奧古斯都》,則是偶然看到簡體版的譯者鄭遠濤先生的介紹時,方才知道有此優秀的作品存在。 《奧古斯都》正如其名,是一部講述那位知名的羅馬“第一公民”屋大維一生的...

两年前,我有幸拜读了作家的另一部作品:《斯通纳》,发自内心的喜欢,因此做过一篇极为斧凿,略有些做作的读后感。及到这本《奥古斯都》,从购买到阅读都没有任何犹豫,同样的喜欢甚至可以说是更加喜欢,所以抑制不住,同时又不胜惶恐的写下这篇读后感。 并没有刻意与《斯通纳...

边看边画的《奥古斯都》人物关系图 真诚奉上 感谢该作品带给我的感动 ——————分割线—————— 一切生命大概都是神秘莫测的,包括我的生命。 我逐渐相信,每个人一生中迟早会有个时刻令他知道——无论他还懂别的什么,无论他能否说清自己所知——那件恐怖的事实:他是孤...

约翰·威廉斯,1994年去世的美国作家,随着2012年左右那本《斯通纳》在全球范围内的再度畅销,而被很多读者熟知。到了2018年,他的中译本终于出到了第三本——讲述屋大维·凯撒的《奥古斯都》。 他对我而言是非常独特的一位作家,因为我总是一口气读完了他的小说,用废寝忘食来...

第三卷陡高!

评分

怎么说呢。人物本身真实故事之精彩,超过了小说家的虚构能力。情节依靠史料,细节有虚构,无甚出奇之处。多视角写法和材料剪裁很好。总体中规中矩吧

On top of the world, he is alone。历史小说的典范,Williams用日记体形式大概是更容易深入人物内心
