Augustus pdf epub mobi txt 电子书 下载 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.

读后感
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...
评分一个个矛盾的人物穿插上演了这出罗马史诗，每一个人物塑造地都极其好，极其丰满生动。这不止是奥古斯都一个人的传奇，如果说奥古斯都是月，配角是星，这本书就构成了很美很美的一幕星河夜景，令人叹息，令人唏嘘。宿命的感觉，难逃又无处可寻的无奈感。 奥古斯都·凯撒，19岁组...
评分首先，威廉斯的这部小说体现出一种克制力，一种克制自我的能力。他在这种文风的基础上，试图去真正地还原历史，体现出对历史强烈的敬畏感。我估计他写这部小说所花的力气明显要比那两部要大得多，因为这要阅读很多的历史文献，他需要认识每个历史人物的形象与性格，了解他们的...
评分我们都希望自己读到的历史就是事实，但其实绝大多数（甚至可以说是全部）历史书都不可能是全部事实，历史就是由一系列无法还原的事实构成的，所以历史在我心里，就是一系列的故事，也因此，我不太喜欢有人批评一部“史书”是胡诌之类的，当然如果作者能说明哪些材料是引用，哪...
评分约翰·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...
用户评价
今年晚春和初冬把这本书听了两遍，细腻与壮阔比起尤瑟纳尔的《哈德良回忆录》均有过之而无不及，念的也非常好。
