Augustus is an epistolary, historical fiction by John Williams published by Viking Press in 1972. It tells the story of Augustus, emperor of Rome, from his youth through old age.[1] The book is divided into two parts, the beginning chronicling his rise to power, the latter describing his rule thereafter, and the familial problems faced choosing a successor. Williams and Augustus shared the 1973 U.S. National Book Award for Fiction with John Barth and Chimera, the first time the award was split, and the only one of Williams's four novels to receive significant acclaim within his lifetime.

  • Augustus ist ein historischer Roman des amerikanischen Autors John Williams. Thema des Briefromans ist der Aufstieg des jungen Octavius zum Augustus, dem ersten Kaiser des römischen Reichs. Das Buch ist der vierte von nur vier Romanen des Autors, erschien 1972 im Verlag Viking Press und gewann 1973 den National Book Award for Fiction. Es verkaufte sich ebenso schlecht wie sein Vorgänger, der Roman Stoner, der von der Kritik seinerzeit weitgehend ignoriert wurde und zu diesem Zeitpunkt bereits aus den Buchhandlungen verschwunden war.

  • 《奥古斯都》是美国作家约翰·威廉斯所著的一部书信体历史小说,1972年维京出版社初版。它讲述了罗马帝国开国皇帝奥古斯都的一生,前半部分讲述了奥古斯都的崛起,后半部分讲述了他的统治,尤其重点描写了他和女儿尤利娅之间的关系。与许多当代史家不同,威廉斯以较为同情的观点看待这位皇帝。1973年,该书与《喀迈拉》共同获得了美国国家图书奖。 (zh)
