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.

他被尊为“奥古斯都”，他把二月抽出了一天；他是八月名称的由来；他是历史上伟大帝国的开创者；他被历史选中，也同样选择了历史，他就是盖乌斯·屋大维·奥古斯都，罗马帝国的开创者。周末资本市场停盘，闲来无事续接前篇读完了约翰·威廉斯的历史文学巨著《奥古斯都》，值得...

評分 評分by 谷立立 约翰·威廉斯的一生贯穿着同一个关键词：拒绝。终其一生，他拒绝被定义、被归类，拒绝成为公众瞩目的文化明星，拒绝循规蹈矩地做传道授业的文学教授，只愿我行我素、我手写我心地诠释一位真正作家的本色。这倒不是说他一生庸庸碌碌、无所作为。事实上，他在文学上的...

用戶評價
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this ... this... this is just so good!!
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Williams applied forms as memoir,diary and correspondence to contour the endeavor and merit of Augustus,small pity that the effort is closer to monologue.
评分波瀾壯闊 潸然淚下
