La vita è proprio una ruota che gira. Questo romanzo visionario e storico, come il suo leggendario protagonista, L'imperatore Adriano, ricorda, mi fa venire in mente i cerchi concentrici di un albero. Fra gli alberi. Una vita che si incrocia con le altre. Come il Tempo. La Storia.
Esaurito ma molto ricercato!
Maggiori informazioni sul libro
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.
