Augustus pdf epub mobi txt 電子書 下載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.

讀後感
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...
評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...

評分奥古斯都，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...
用戶評價
帝王外錶下有著平實而純樸的靈魂。
评分On top of the world, he is alone。曆史小說的典範，Williams用日記體形式大概是更容易深入人物內心
评分怎麼說呢。人物本身真實故事之精彩，超過瞭小說傢的虛構能力。情節依靠史料，細節有虛構，無甚齣奇之處。多視角寫法和材料剪裁很好。總體中規中矩吧
评分2017.26.B.
评分今年晚春和初鼕把這本書聽瞭兩遍，細膩與壯闊比起尤瑟納爾的《哈德良迴憶錄》均有過之而無不及，念的也非常好。
