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
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...
評分他被尊为“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...

用戶評價
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。
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
评分精彩！
