图书描述

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.

著者简介

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.

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。

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

great style, deeply affecting (in an austere sort of way, true to its period), can't be praised more

好像约翰.威廉斯特别擅长在最后写这种经提纯的灵魂。从《屠夫十字镇》到《斯通纳》，再到这本《奥古斯都》，他的视角看似由芸芸众生转向伟大领袖，但实则一直以来，威廉斯写下的是人类的灵魂。不论伟大或卑微，也不应由伟大或卑微进行划分。他传统、内敛、自省，将对情感的表达控制在严肃的维度里。他笔下的罗马皇帝于一生落幕的远航中，提笔写下致友人的书信，在其中剖析了自己作为各种角色走过的岁月，年少的友情与志向，改变世界的命运与决心，文明与野蛮，人性的卑劣与其中一瞬之光，超越一切、纯粹的爱……最后他终于释然，罗马迟早将被征服，他从不因自己的伟业而感骄傲，却领悟了足够使自己感到慰藉的传承。于是他的灵魂终不至于被一切成空的绝望所压倒，在那片汪洋中得以沐浴着晨光，回顾少年时代的旧梦，驶向终点。
