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
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...
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...
评分两年前，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...

TofF indeed 译者说“第三卷陡高”我同感。前两卷相对平直，权谋/混乱家庭关系都属于历史本身的跌宕胜过了作家的笔头；卷三才驯服这烈马，真正由自己书写起伏。人生从奥德赛到悲剧再到喜剧，是比“不服神命，誓死犯天”更深刻的搏击，选择命运也被命运选择；不是R背叛了我，是我走上这条路而背叛了他；我如亚历山大般渺小；领略不了的老妇智慧。最牛逼的还是野蛮人与罗马比喻，文明摧枯拉朽之时，也反过来给野蛮打上烙印；生命被时间吞噬，但也改造雕磨和驯化了时间。唯情欲之爱（尤利娅日记）和文字之爱（诗权）最为纯粹无私，留存在一切飞尘之中。他最终梦到了五十年前和自己眼睛同色的祭牛，于自己尽头处谅解了所有人的尽头。S讲罗马人本质，H讲E故事新解两段很受启发。怪不得写作语气奇怪，原来是模仿拉丁语法。想到秦始皇
评分2.作者在小说中所表现的对细节的恢复：计时饮食等 3.呼应是否过于刻意？
