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.
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.
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。...

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...
掉书袋的侦探爱情故事,看完意犹未尽,只是结尾巧合太多有点落入俗套。另外,这一版的字印得实在太小,不推荐购买此版本。
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)
评分这个版本字太小
