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.  aLove, Fiction  aFrench Literature  aHistorical Fiction  cRBK  c68616d68616  00102ddc4071aSNULbSNULd2026-06-03l0o843.912 YOUpG7911r2026-06-03 15:18:22w2026-06-03yRBKzProf. Romila Thapar's Collection
