摘要：This book (Marguerite Yourcenar, 1951) is much more than a historical novel: of course there are Literature (fictions), but also History (facts) and above all a great reflection about the art of living, when the man was alone and without gods (Flaubert dixit ). The Emperor tells us how he builds himself – operari est esse - upon the unity of Ethics and Aesthetics, with a combination of knowledge, discipline and hedonism. This paper shows the keys of his personal and political project, around the Greek ideas ( Humanitas, Felicitas, Libertas ) and the Roman exercise of power. And that includes bodies, feelings and actions like concepts from the point of view of every day life.
