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...
评分作为读者,我总是不自觉地在文学作品中寻找学术与论理,又在研究专著中搜求情怀与遐思。所以我宁愿读张爱玲的《红楼梦魇》,认为是红学研究的最高境界,看小说家对小说家如何惺惺相惜,了解同情;又不妨阅读英国学者拜雅特(A.S.Byatt)的小说《隐之书》,看维多利亚时代神话学...
评分 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...
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)
评分第三遍。毕业论文。

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。
评分拜厄特用了两个夏天完成这本书,她已经构思十五年了。最先确定的是书名,灵感来自Coleridge和研究他的Kathleen Coburn,想着她把一生都献给了这个死人。她最先要的是死者与活人、研究者与诗人、性的连接。又放弃不掉学院的部份,又决意仿照Eco玫瑰的名字,把维多利亚时代召唤回来,再加入多萝西的侦探写法。于是通俗和遗世独立、世俗和性灵混杂在一起,反而对立着把那魂牵梦萦的东西降调了,接榫处处理得并不好,学院其他人物形象过于通俗,最后开墓的部份甚至有点闹剧的意味。放掉了女性之间更深层的微妙,但确实留下了魂牵梦萦如梦似幻的东西。如果是atwood写,会更流畅文体更繁多绚丽,但会失去拜厄特的生涩。如果是PF来写,会减掉三分之二篇幅,但保留遗世独立的气质。如果是门罗来写,嗯,她会换个切入点。
