书籍简介
以奥古斯都之名铸刻
浮华一生的平凡灵魂
◎《斯通纳》作者约翰·威廉斯的扛鼎之作，获美国国家图书奖。
不同于《斯通纳》在蒙尘50年后才重回大众视野，《奥古斯都》一面世即获美国国家图书奖，时隔40多年仍然受赞誉，且因《斯通纳》的畅销而为更多读者所了解和喜爱，是一部经时间洗礼而魅力有增无减的佳作。如果说《斯通纳》 是每一段人生的镜子，那么《奥古斯都》就是每一个灵魂的肖像。
◎继《屠夫十字镇》、《斯通纳》后将约翰·威廉斯推向高峰的生涯最后一部作品
波澜壮阔的长篇历史小说，
传奇大帝奥古斯都一生为挚爱的两个女儿——罗马与茱莉亚，
尔虞我诈以巩固权力，青春年少换取财富荣耀，牺牲挚爱博得永恒名号，
日日夜夜，将真心和苦痛，深铸在孤独灵魂的最深处。
历史上手段高明的政治家、开创百年和平盛世的独裁者，也是罗马第一位皇帝奥古斯都，原名屋大维。
故事自罗马共和国统帅凯撒被刺杀揭开序幕，当时年仅十九岁的屋大维，接到舅公凯撒的遗嘱指定他为养子和继承人，曾经希望成为学者的少年，命运就此改变。收起情感，体弱多病的男孩屋大维与三位挚友一同踏上征途，善战的阿格里帕、热爱艺文的梅塞纳斯，以及热情洋溢的撒维第也努斯。他与敌结盟处理暗杀者，铲除暗中反动之亲信、潜在的敌人，并利用已故亲人的声望和名号建立地位，进入权力核心；多次联姻将女儿茱莉亚作为政治筹码、指控通奸罪名，权谋扩展也悉心维护国家版图；结束罗马长期的派系斗争，并为罗马带来前所未有的自由。三十六岁时，冷酷无情的统治者，获封历史上为人所知的名字——奥古斯都。
全书以书信体的形式，笔调朴实，不同角色各种立场轮番登场，夹杂回忆录、日记、书信、私人便笺、军令、请愿书、会议记录、传单等，藉各人物之口侧写奥古斯都的一生，也同时建构出罗马的风土民情，展演帝国与帝王的真实。最后，小说终于七十五岁的奥古斯都自述，回望走过的岁月，完全奉献挚爱的罗马，以及曾被他称作「我的小罗马」的女儿茱莉亚??
By the author of Stoner, the surprise international bestseller
After the brutal murder of his great-uncle, Julius Caesar, Octavian, a shy and scholarly youth of nineteen, suddenly finds himself heir to the vast power of Rome. He is destined, despite vicious power struggles, bloody wars and family strife, to transform his realm and become the greatest ruler the western world had ever seen: Augustus Caesar, the first Roman Emperor.
Building on impeccable research, John Williams brings the legendary figure of Augustus vividly to life, and invests his characters with such profound humanity that we enter completely into the heat and danger of their lives and times.
