Synopsis "Mémoires d'Hadrien: Carnets de Notes de Memoires d'Hadrien (in French)"

Cette oeuvre, qui est à la fois roman, histoire, poésie, a été saluée par la critique française et mondiale comme un événement littéraire. En imaginant les Mémoires d'un grand empereur romain, l'auteur a voulu « refaire du dedans ce que les archéologues du XIXe siècle ont fait du dehors ». Jugeant sans complaisance sa vie d'homme et son oeuvre politique, Hadrien n'ignore pas que Rome, malgré sa grandeur, finira un jour par périr, mais son réalisme romain et son humanisme hérité des Grecs lui font sentir l'importance de penser et de servir jusqu'au bout. « ... Je me sentais responsable de la beauté du monde », dit ce héros dont les problèmes sont ceux de l'homme de tous les temps : les dangers mortels qui du dedans et du dehors confrontent les civilisations, la quête d'un accord harmonieux entre le bonheur et la « discipline auguste », entre l'intelligence et la volonté.

Marguerite Yourcenar (1903–1987) was a distinguished French writer, naturalized American, known for her mastery in historical novels, essays, and poetry. Her most famous work is Memoirs of Hadrian (1951), translated into Spanish by Julio Cortázar. Other notable novels include Opus nigrum (1968), Alexis or the Treatise of Vain Struggle (1929) and Coup de Grâce (1939). She also ventured into short narrative with titles like Fires (1936), Oriental Tales (1938) and As Water Flows (1982)

Yourcenar was the first woman to be elected a member of the French Academy in 1980. Her literary style is characterized by refined prose and a deep exploration of the human condition. In addition to her work as a novelist, she was an essayist, poet, and translator, cultivating a body of work marked by humanism and erudition.
