具体描述
Caesar Augustus’ story, one of the most riveting in western history, is filled with drama and contradiction, risky gambles and unexpected success. He began as a teenage warlord, whose only claim to power was as the heir of the murdered Julius Caesar. Mark Antony dubbed him “a boy who owes everything to a name,” but in the years to come the youth outmaneuvered all the older and more experienced politicians and was the last man standing in 30 BC. Over the next half century he reinvented himself as a servant of the state who gave Rome peace and stability, and created a new system of government—the Principate or rule of an emperor.
In this highly anticipated biography Goldsworthy puts his deep knowledge of ancient sources to full use, recounting the events of Augustus’ long life in greater detail than ever before. Goldsworthy pins down the man behind the myths: a consummate manipulator, propagandist, and showman, both generous and ruthless. Under Augustus’ rule the empire prospered, yet his success was never assured and the events of his life unfolded with exciting unpredictability. Goldsworthy captures the passion and savagery, the public image and private struggles of the real man whose epic life continues to influence western history.

评分 评分《奥古斯都：从革命者到皇帝》：阿德里安·戈兹沃西，社会科学文献出版社。文章里夹杂很多趣事，比如，屋大维写淫诗攻击诽谤政敌，再比如，当他已经是皇帝的时候，遇到某人和自己很像，就问对方母亲是不是常来罗马，而对方说，不，我父亲常来罗马，他也并不生气。但就这样，我...
评分在阅读本书之前，印象里只记得恺撒 奥古斯都早年的名字“屋大维”，记得他与安东尼、克利奥帕特拉七世纠缠了两千多年的故事。阅读完毕本书之后，开始觉得他完全当得起“恺撒 奥古斯都”这个气魄宏伟的名字。 如果采用知音体来描述这个故事应该是这样的，“四岁丧父，母亲改嫁，...
评分有点疑惑，整本书像个流水账。一些关键部分没有细节，他为何早年得到凯撒的青睐，从自己拉起队伍到Actium会战之间，奥古斯都的领袖方式应该是很血腥残暴，这在书里多次提到了，但也没有细节。当然作者也提到关于奥古斯都的史料很匮乏，同时他可能也抱着不愿意做太多模棱两可的...
