书籍简介

苏埃托尼乌斯的十二凯撒传记的全新精译本，以惊人的细节生动地展现了罗马早期皇帝的形象。

企鹅经典系列

古罗马帝国是至高无上的竞技场，皇帝们别无选择，只能在此争斗、展现魅力、令人叹为观止。作为凯撒统治，就如同站在世界舞台上表演一般。没有哪部传记能比盖乌斯·苏埃托尼乌斯·特兰奎卢斯于公元2世纪初在罗马权力中心撰写的传记更生动、更深入地展现凯撒们的生活。

苏埃托尼乌斯将每位凯撒置于其前代历史的背景下，并将他们的个性与政策联系起来，成功地描绘了罗马权力的高峰形象。皇帝们的缺点、外交危机和性丑闻都被赤裸裸地揭露出来；他们的品味、弱点和怪癖也一览无余；我们仿佛置身于他们的餐桌旁，走进他们的卧室。这或许成就了有史以来具影响力的传记系列。

罗马在人们的想象中比任何其他古代帝国都更加鲜活生动，这很大程度上要归功于苏埃托尼乌斯。如今，屡获殊荣的作家兼翻译家汤姆·霍兰德以全新的、引人入胜的译本，将我们带入更广阔的世界。《罗马十二帝王传》让我们更深入地了解罗马皇帝的个人生活，以及他们如何影响数百万人的命运，它为我们呈现了一段令人叹为观止、身临其境的体验，让我们得以窥见一个既熟悉又陌生的时代和文化。

A masterful new translation of Suetonius' renowned biography of the twelve Caesars, bringing to life a portrait of the first Roman emperors in stunning detail

A Penguin Classic

The ancient Roman empire was the supreme arena, where emperors had no choice but to fight, to thrill, to dazzle. To rule as a Caesar was to stand as an actor upon the great stage of the world. No biographies invite us into the lives of the Caesars more vividly or intimately than those by Gaius Suetonius Tranquillus, written from the center of Rome and power, in the early 2nd century AD.

By placing each Caesar in the context of the generations that had gone before, and connecting personality with policy, Suetonius succeeded in painting Rome’s ultimate portraits of power. The shortfalls, foreign policy crises and sex scandals of the emperors are laid bare; we are shown their tastes, their foibles, their eccentricities; we sit at their tables and enter their bedrooms. The result is perhaps the most influential series of biographies ever written.

That Rome lives more vividly in people's imagination than any other ancient empire owes an inordinate amount to Suetonius. Now award-winning author and translator Tom Holland brings us even closer in a new, spellbinding translation. Giving a deeper understanding of the personal lives of Rome’s first emperors, and of how they swayed the fates of millions, The Lives of the Caesars is an astonishing, immersive experience of a time and culture at once familiar and utterly alien to our own.

作者简介

盖乌斯·苏埃托尼乌斯·特兰奎卢斯可能生于公元69年——所谓的“四帝之年”。他的赞助人小普林尼形容他是一位内敛博学之士，毕生的爱好是文学。凭借其才干，他在帝国秘书处身居要职。他曾担任哈德良皇帝的私人书记官，后因卷入哈德良妻子的丑闻而被解职，具体原因不明。苏埃托尼乌斯似乎活到了高龄，可能卒于公元140年左右。

汤姆·霍兰德是一位屡获殊荣的历史学家、传记作家和广播员。他著有《卢比孔河》、《波斯之火》、《千禧年》、《剑影之下》和《王朝》等作品。他的新著作《和平》涵盖了罗马帝国的鼎盛时期，从尼禄去世到哈德良统治时期。他翻译的希罗多德《历史》于 2013 年由企鹅经典出版社出版。他主持着世界上受欢迎的历史播客节目《其余的都是历史》。

Gaius Suetonius Tranquillus was probably born in AD 69—the so-called "year of the four Emperors." He was described by Suetonius's patron Pliny the Younger as a reserved and scholarly man whose great passion in life was literature. His abilities won him a high position in the imperial secretariat. He served the emperor Hadrian as the emperor’s personal amanuensis, before being dismissed in obscure circumstances following a scandal that involved Hadrian’s wife. Suetonius seems to have lived to a good age and probably died around the year 140.

Tom Holland is an award-winning historian, biographer, and broadcaster. He is the author of Rubicon, Persian Fire, Millennium, In the Shadow of the Sword, and Dynasty. His most recent book, Pax, covers the heyday of the Roman Empire, from the death of Nero to Hadrian. His translation of The Histories by Herodotus was published by Penguin Classics in 2013. He presents the world’s most popular history podcast, The Rest Is History.
