Hailed by The New York Times Book Review as "a gifted observer, able to discern the exact details that bring whole worlds into being" and "a storyteller who could keep a sultan on the edge of his throne for a thousand and one nights," A. S. Byatt writes some of the most engaging and skillful novels of our time. Time magazine calls her "a novelist of dazzling inventiveness."
Possession , for which Byatt won England's prestigious Booker Prize, was praised by critics on both sides of the Atlantic when it was first published in 1990. "On academic rivalry and obsession, Byatt is delicious. On the nature of possession--the lover by the beloved, the biographer by his subject--she is profound," said The Sunday Times (London). The New Yorker dubbed it "more fun to read than The Name of the Rose . . . Its prankish verve [and] monstrous richness of detail [make for] a one-woman variety show of literary styles and types." The novel traces a pair of young academics--Roland Michell and Maud Bailey--as they uncover a clandestine love affair between two long-dead Victorian poets. Interwoven in a mesmerizing pastiche are love letters and fairytales, extracts from biographies and scholarly accounts, creating a sensuous and utterly delightful novel of ideas and passions.
A. S. Byatt is famed for her short fiction, collected in Sugar and Other Stories, The Matisse Stories, and The Djinn in the Nightingale's Eye. Her full-length novels include the Booker Prize-winning Possession and the trilogy sequence The Virgin in the Garden, Still Life, and Babel Tower.
相爱的人,常常使爱变得残酷无情。 当艾许遇上兰蒙特,当兰蒙特遇上艾许。他们早已迷乱在无边的恨海情里了。这么一本大书,厚厚480页,四五十万字,却能一个字一个字读细细地读,为他们的痴情,为他们的迷狂,为他们不计一切地奔向对方沉迷。 上帝造了人,给了人思想,却常常让...
评分将近三个月的时间,才依依不舍,终于把它放下。 忍不住去往操场,静静走上一圈,没有艾许,没有克里斯塔贝尔,没有罗兰,也没有莫德,就让我一觉醒来,把这些,全部遗忘。 古朴的封面,吸引我翻开了书本的序言,是因为人类的好奇心?我想,是的。 看到小小的页码“-30-”,...
评分用了整整三天时间,一口气读完了这本书,被深深的震撼。作者同时描写了两个世界,一个世界是现代学者罗兰和莫德的世界,这个世界有点像戴维•洛奇的《小世界》;另外一个世界是维多利亚时代诗人艾许和克里斯塔贝尔的世界,这个世界以书信、日记构成,却又比“真实的世界”更...

评分这本书买来已经将近一年,可是我现在读了一半不到一点,中间停停看看,刚开始我似乎被作者华丽和细腻的辞藻弄得有点缺乏耐心,现在重新拾起,似乎发现了魅力,期待中(๑˙ー˙๑)
