摘要：Book of history,but in the same time book of memory and memories,Les Mémoires d’Hadrien opens a wide range of perspectives for the reader. The aim of our paper is, at this moment,to show the kind of relations developing between history and the way the identity is built; in our case,we speak about the two different types of identity (personal and social identity) that the emperor understands to expose. On the other hand,we are interested in showing which elements contribute to developing his personal identity as well as in showing the relation between his efforts to build his identity as a literary character and the game that Yourcenar understands to pursue from the very beginning,playing with the two nouns,memory and memories to which she adds another one,that is the memoires seen as a literary genre.
