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.
一、艾什与兰蒙特的故事是本书的主线 兰蒙特生于1825年,与“湖畔派”针锋相对的“撒旦派”诗人在她生前相继离世(济慈于1821年,雪莱于1822年,拜伦1824年)。艾什应略年长于她。俩人均受到了这些前辈诗人的熏陶。总的来说,艾什的作品和罗伯特·勃朗宁有几分相似,有着同样的...
評分这本书读得极慢,并且一边遗憾没有一本注释本。 记得刚读《我的名字叫红》的时候,仗着自己曾认识几个阿拉伯人,又图便宜,买了简本。直到为了参加作者的签名售书,才又买了一本彩图注释本。两下对比,才发现,除去故事情节之外,书中有多少文化的细节根本没有搞清楚。...
評分相爱的人,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...
評分孤独与爱情,大约没人会选前者。即便俗世中根本不存在任何完美的爱情,也磨折不了世人对爱情的渴望和想象。 所以当我读到《隐之书》第十章《往来书信》的第十三封信时,心内不禁有些震动。两位在文艺界颇具盛名的诗人,因偶然的一次聚会“一见钟情”,在相对压抑的维多利亚时代...

第三遍。畢業論文。
评分這本書買來已經將近一年,可是我現在讀瞭一半不到一點,中間停停看看,剛開始我似乎被作者華麗和細膩的辭藻弄得有點缺乏耐心,現在重新拾起,似乎發現瞭魅力,期待中(๑˙ー˙๑)
评分掉書袋的偵探愛情故事,看完意猶未盡,隻是結尾巧閤太多有點落入俗套。另外,這一版的字印得實在太小,不推薦購買此版本。
评分第三遍。畢業論文。
