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
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...
评分美国作家约翰·威廉斯1922年出生于德克萨斯州，两年的兵役期结束后，终其一生都在大学任教。他出版过四本小说（《唯有黑夜》《屠夫十字镇》《斯通纳》《奥古斯都》），留下一部未竟之作《理性的沉睡》。作为小说家，他的经历平稳而安全，研究的是小说，写作的是小说，最后以教...
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 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...
用户评价
书信，总是带着风，千里飘摇。信封中，是灵魂碎片，有情意绵绵，有暗流汹涌，有剑拔弩张，有沧海桑田。John Williams不仅容纳书信，还有公文，辞令，日记...透过精心安排，于虚实之间，构建出奥古都斯一生之波澜。此谓形式。再者，长篇小说之结构最见作家的功力。第一部，征服史，即成功史。第二部，私生活，即失败史。前两部，均为人言，由此一笔一画雕刻奥古都斯之轮廓。第三部，是“本尊”之正声，是灵魂奥义，亦是巨大彩蛋。John Williams的奥古都斯，一去莎士比亚剧作中之阴险狡诈，树立正面形象，由神至人，令读者切肤共鸣。就如“命运”二字，“命”为注定，而“运”为偶然，命在前，运在后，命定与意外摩擦，不断侵蚀，回望中，方沧桑。生命，不论伟大或卑微，都不免通向极致：面对自我。而自我，即孤岛，即牢笼。
评分谁有他的处女作nothing but the night请豆油我。。
评分为Williams打call
评分On top of the world, he is alone。历史小说的典范，Williams用日记体形式大概是更容易深入人物内心
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
