Memoirs of Hadrian
📖 Synopsis
Emperor Hadrian reviews his life in a long letter to Marcus Aurelius. One of the peaks of historical fiction.
✍️ ChatZona's review
Yourcenar did something that seems impossible: get inside the head of a second-century Roman emperor and make it sound real. The prose is dense, reflective, unforgiving of the impatient reader, and Hadrian emerges as a character of complexity that few historical novels have matched. Not a beach read, but for those seeking a demanding and rewarding literary experience it is hard to find anything better in the genre.
