The first woman to be elected to The French Academy, the multi talented personality of Marguerite Yourcenar was a novelist, essayist, playwright, short story writer, poet and translator. She was an artist at reconstructing historical eras in the form of her novels. Her novels, dealing with modern issues set in historical eras won her immense fame as a writer.
The inheritance Yourcenar received after the death of her father, allowed her to devote herself to traveling and literary pursuits and love affairs on the Paris artistic scene. She joined a bohemian crowd of artists, moving between Paris, Lausanne, Athens, Istanbul, Brussels and the Greek islands, which inspired her travel writing "Nouvelles Orientales" and "Feux" based on Greek mythology.
Yourcenar was among the first female writers to live an openly lesbian lifestyle, and she moved to the USA in 1939 to live with her partner Grace Frick. The couple were to remain together until Frick’s death in 1979. She taught French History and History of Art, and continued to write: her novel "Mémoires d’Hadrien" was published in 1951 and enjoyed success with both the critics and the public worldwide.
She was an inveterate traveller and remained active right up to her death in 1987. She was a militant vegetarian and defender of the rights of animals and inspired Brigitte Bardot to set up her animal sanctuary.
Both an exploration of character and a reflection on the meaning of history, "Memoirs of Hadrian" has received international acclaim since its first publication in France in 1951. In it, Marguerite Yourcenar reimagines the Emperor Hadrian's arduous boyhood, his triumphs and reversals, and finally, as emperor, his gradual reordering of a war-torn world, writing with the imaginative insight of a great writer of the twentieth century while crafting a prose style as elegant and precise as those of the Latin stylists of Hadrian's own era.

评分当知道尤瑟纳尔的文集有了全套中文译本的时候,一瞬间记忆涌现,我看的第一本她的书,就是《哈德良回忆录》。 还是高一的时候,暑假里翘掉辅导课,泡在图书馆看书。列了一个长长的书单,一本本地找,当发现又这本《哈德良回忆录》的时候,激动得无以复加。 那时候迷上了古罗马...

评分A famous book, but not good for me. Mostly a bit of this and that, here and there, love, war, laws, travels, mourning, old age. It lacks focus and depth. For me, the most interesting part is his meditation about death. It rings genuine feelings. But again...
终于读完了这本历史文学!尤瑟纳尔奶奶用自己特有的阳刚又兼具柔情的笔触极其细腻地刻画出哈德良大帝垂暮之际对自己一生的凝望。曾经的愤懑惆怅最终都渐渐安息;末尾描写对死亡的超然读来令人震撼!书中写哈德良和尚为孩童的奥勒留的交流最让我激动!
