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。
评分this ... this... this is just so good!!
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
评分great style, deeply affecting (in an austere sort of way, true to its period), can't be praised more

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.
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...
评分凯文伯明翰在《最危险的书》序言曾写过一句我自认为非常漂亮的话, 他说:“当你打开一本书,你就进入了一段漫长旅途的尽头。” 这种感觉,在读历史小说时只会更甚,你当然可以依据史实知道每一本这样小说的结局——放逐在外的皇子成功继承大统亦或是权倾朝野的奸臣最终株连九...
评分我的命运是改变世界,但时间会毁掉罗马 赵松 距今2062年前,即公元前44年的3月15日,罗马共和国发生了一件影响深远的大事件——终身独裁官尤利乌斯·凯撒在元老院遇刺身亡。随后出现的,却并非刺杀凯撒的那些贵族共和派所宣称的“自由”,而是罗马陷入了无政府状态的可怕动乱。...
