具体描述
Caesar Augustus’ story, one of the most riveting in western history, is filled with drama and contradiction, risky gambles and unexpected success. He began as a teenage warlord, whose only claim to power was as the heir of the murdered Julius Caesar. Mark Antony dubbed him “a boy who owes everything to a name,” but in the years to come the youth outmaneuvered all the older and more experienced politicians and was the last man standing in 30 BC. Over the next half century he reinvented himself as a servant of the state who gave Rome peace and stability, and created a new system of government—the Principate or rule of an emperor.
In this highly anticipated biography Goldsworthy puts his deep knowledge of ancient sources to full use, recounting the events of Augustus’ long life in greater detail than ever before. Goldsworthy pins down the man behind the myths: a consummate manipulator, propagandist, and showman, both generous and ruthless. Under Augustus’ rule the empire prospered, yet his success was never assured and the events of his life unfolded with exciting unpredictability. Goldsworthy captures the passion and savagery, the public image and private struggles of the real man whose epic life continues to influence western history.

评分作者态度中立，对奥古斯都不吹不黑，是了解奥古斯都和那个时代的很好的书籍。 奥古斯都不是神，但他也有过人之处，一是运气好，二是能够在每次的失败当中不断吸取教训，不断成长，并且能清楚的认识自己的优势和劣势，并找到正确的人来弥补，最终不断壮大，三是活得久，因为活得...
评分 评分 评分1, 先说本书，是一本非常好的了解奥古斯都的传记。然而这本书可能不是那么“好看”。这和奥古斯都的经历有关。他的一生并不是很精彩，哪怕他是罗马帝国的开国皇帝。所以,我建议不要把这本书看作是奥古斯都的个人传记，而应看作罗马帝国的开国史。 奥古斯都的人生没有凯撒那...
