[From jacket flaps] This book, one of the major works of our time, is described by its author as a psychological novel and a meditation on history. In form the narrative is a fictional autobiography written by the Roman Emperor Hadrian (76-138 A.D.) to his grandson, Marcus Aurelius. The memoirs reconstruct Hadrian's character, cultivated mind, dramatic career, and thirty years of travel over the Roman Empire at its height. Memoirs of Hadrian is a vivid reconstruction of the emperor's intimate life and official existence. It also constitutes a meditation on human destiny. Hadrian appears as one of the Western World's greatest liberals, a humanist who based man's chances of happiness and security on Greece and Rome. His program of peace, reform, and legislation still offers a challenge for our times. In prose of epigrammatic brilliance, Mme. Yourcenar has created Hadrian's world in such manner that the book has no equal in the writing of our day. The entire text of this edition has been revised, and the section "Reflections on the Composition of Hadrian" appears for the first time in English. Codice articolo 20250827008
