Memoirs of Hadrian: And Reflections on the Composition of Memoirs of Hadrian
by Grace Frick, Paul Bailey, Marguerite Yourcenar
All history is heavy.
Grace Frick translated three of Marguerite Yourcenar's books. Mémoires d'Hadrien is written in an incredibly French style, but, remarkably, Frick managed to translate that idiosyncratic phraseology and diction into something that not only flows well in English but also remains painstakingly accurate to the original. This is a masterful translation, one of the best I've ever read; Frick's version is almost as good as Yourcenar's.
