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.

Book Description Paperback. Condition: New. Both an exploration of character and a meditation on history, MEMOIRS OF HADRIAN has received international acclaim since its publication in France in 1951. Written in the form of a testamentary letter from trhe emperor Hadrian to his successor, the youthful Marcus Aurelius, the book is as extraordinary for its psychological depth as for its accurate reconstruction of the 2nd century AD. Marguerite Yourcenar reimagines Hadrian's arduous boyhood, his triumphs and reversals, & finally, as emperor, his reordering of a war-torn world, writing with the imaginative insight of a great writer of the 20th century, while crafting a prose style as elegant as the Latin stylists of Hadrian's time.
