I Am Rome Google Books
author: Santiago Posteguillo publishing house: Random House Publishing Group 2024 - 03
Discover the runaway #1 international bestseller that has captured readers the world over―and reminds us all why we remember the name Julius Caesar.

“Posteguillo shows just how thrilling a historical novel can be.”―El País

Every legend has a beginning . . .

Rome, 77 B.C. The corrupt Senator Dolabella is about to go on trial for his crimes.

But Dolabella owns the jury. He’s hired the best lawyers in the city. And he’s very willing to use violence against those who oppose him. 

In all of Rome, no man dares accept the role of prosecutor—until, against all odds, an unknown twenty-three-year-old steps out to lead the case, defend the people of the city, and defy the power of the ruling elite. 

That lawyer’s name is Gaius Julius Caesar.

So begins Santiago Posteguillo’s acclaimed masterpiece of historical fiction―a tale as epic as Caesar’s life itself. An irresistible page-turning novel of politics and betrayal, grand battles and impossible odds, shocking villainy and even greater acts of courage, I Am Rome brilliantly animates the moments that shaped this extraordinary young man’s fate—and in so doing, changed the course of history itself.

不太确定是不是翻译的问题,完全没有预设中历史的厚重感,反而写出了白男版热血少年漫的感觉,最重要的剧情是凯撒在法庭上代表马其顿人挑战无恶不作但一手遮天的多拉贝拉,其间穿插有关凯撒生平或是多拉贝拉恶行的叙述,各方面的表现只能说是中规中矩,大概也是我对这种白男个人英雄主义实在不感冒……庭审的部分多少有点意思,打仗的部分真的写得挺单薄的,感情线我非常不喜欢,就算考虑到时代因素,我也无法理解刚到青春期的凯撒觉得还是preteen girl的柯尼利亚“像个女人”并产生欲望,只能觉得恶心,虽然故事发生在公元前但是读者仍是现代人,同为现代人的作者难道无法感觉到这种描写很problematic吗?

Don Quixote Douban
author: Cervantes Saavedra, Miguel de/ Grossman, Edith/ Bloom, Harold translator: Grossman, Edith publishing house: Harpercollins 2003 - 10
Edith Grossman's definitive English translation of the Spanish masterpiece. Widely regarded as the world's first modern novel, and one of the funniest and most tragic books ever written, "Don Quixote" chronicles the famous picaresque adventures of the noble knight-errant Don Quixote of La Mancha and his faithful squire, Sancho Panza, as they travel through sixteenth-century Spain. Unless you read Spanish, you've never read "Don Quixote." "Though there have been many valuable English translations of "Don Quixote, " I would commend Edith Grossman's version for the extraordinarily high quality of her prose. The Knight and Sancho are so eloquently rendered by Grossman that the vitality of their characterization is more clearly conveyed than ever before. There is also an astonishing contextualization of Don Quixote and Sancho in Grossman's translation that I believe has not been achieved before. The spiritual atmosphere of a Spain already in steep decline can be felt throughout, thanks to her heightened quality of diction. Grossman might be called the Glenn Gould of translators, because she, too, articulates every note. Reading her amazing mode of finding equivalents in English for Cervantes's darkening vision is an entrance into a further understanding of why this great book contains within itself all the novels that have followed in its sublime wake." From the Introduction by Harold Bloom Miguel de Cervantes was born on September 29, 1547, in Alcala de Henares, Spain. At twenty-three he enlisted in the Spanish militia and in 1571 fought against the Turks in the battle of Lepanto, where a gunshot wound permanently crippled his left hand. He spent four more years at sea and then another five as a slave after being captured by Barbary pirates. Ransomed by his family, he returned to Madrid but his disability hampered him; it was in debtor's prison that he began to write "Don Quixote." Cervantes wrote many other works, including poems and plays, but he remains best known as the author of "Don Quixote." He died on April 23, 1616.

堂吉诃德是骑士小说的最后一口气,但与其说它是骑士小说,不如说是对骑士小说的戏剧化的嘲讽……书中的主角骑士,老朽体弱且神志不清的堂吉诃德,与传统意义上英俊强壮的骑士形象大相径庭,而他的随从,愚钝又多嘴的桑丘,也绝非人们想象中的骑士随从。故事情节本身并无新意甚至很老土——当然要求一本400多年前的小说“有新意”才不太对劲……长达1000页的作品中,堂吉诃德坚定地追求着他的正义和骑士精神,桑丘虽然对这个疯疯癫癫的主子的精神状态有所怀疑,但也始终坚守着忠诚。对于这种疯和执拗,作者的本意恐怕是取笑,前半本书中的种种轶事也确实引人发笑,哪怕两人意外“出名”也是因为成了众人的笑柄,然而进行到后半本,基调蓦然忧伤起来,尤其是堂吉诃德死前重获清醒,十分后悔此前的举动,以至于告诫自己的侄女千万不能和读骑士小说走火入魔的人结婚,塞万提斯恐怕也不曾想到在骑士文学早已入土为安的今天,屡战屡败的堂吉诃德却依然生机勃勃,谁又能想到这个滑稽的骑士和他的风车巨人在400年后的今天会成为理想主义的英雄,而在出差路上听完这本大部头的我,也有幸体验了和堂吉诃德一起踏上冒险征程的神奇经历。

只按后半本打分大概可以给到四分,前半本我真的不大可,感觉跟后半本根本不是一个水平……以及对女性角色的塑造真的很败好感
