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.
500页,实打实的,没有多余的序啊跋啊之类的东西。 《隐之书》,是被封面和名字吸引的。封面质感很好,大大的书橱,古典的书房,暗暗的,有些幽秘,却激发起我一探究竟的欲望。隐,隐晦隐秘隐藏隐匿,那般神秘。 打开来,发现这本书很不好读啊,都是人名都是典故,还有通篇长长...
评分最近一直伴着屋外面狂暴的雨读A.S.拜雅特的《隐之书》,本来它是对读者文学素养的巨大考验,对我这种无甚素养的人而言,就成对忍耐能力的巨大挑战了。幸而本人身经百战,并且想来秉承开始了一本书就一定要把它读完的优良传统,因此一路孜孜不觉地把这本可以当枕头大作啃了下来...
评分这本书读得极慢,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。...
评分 评分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。
评分第三遍。毕业论文。
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
评分第三遍。毕业论文。
