Marguerite Yourcenar (1903–1987)
Autor von Ich zähmte die Wölfin
Über den Autor
A French novelist, playwright, and essayist born in Belgium, Marguerite Yourcenar was a resident of the United States for many years, living in isolation on a small island off the coast of Maine. Educated at home by wealthy and cultured parents, she had a strong humanistic background, translating mehr anzeigen the ancient Greek poet Pindar and the poems of the modern Greek Constantine Cavafy. She has translated American Negro spirituals and works of Virginia Woolf (see Vol. 1) and Henry James (see Vol. 1). Her novels include Alexis (1929) and Coup de Grace (1939). A collection of poems, Fires, was published in 1936. Yourcenar is particularly known for Hadrian's Memoirs (1951), a philosophical meditation in the form of a fictional autobiography of the second-century Roman emperor. In Germaine Bree's judgment, "With great erudition and great psychological insight, Marguerite Yourcenar constructed a body of work that is a meditation on the destiny of mankind." In 1981, she became the first woman ever elected to the French Academy. (Bowker Author Biography) weniger anzeigen

Trotzdem - und das ist für mich ein Nachteil - fand ich das Buch eher langatmig. Ich hatte mir eher so etwas wie das meisterhafte Buch "Ich, Claudius, Kaiser und Gott" von Robert von Ranke Graves vorgestellt.… (mehr)
