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.
首先聲明,我的聯想、或者說19世紀古典文學知識並不算豐盛。 但主人公的名字“羅蘭”、對唯靈論的諷刺、參加過降神會、大詩人身份、寫過諷刺靈媒休姆的詩、愛上深居簡齣的女子。。。。隻能讓我想到羅伯特.布朗寜。 Robert Browning的身世在Wiki寫得很明白,大傢可以看到,至少...
評分多年沒有讀大部頭小說的勇氣,不相信自己能堅持讀完,從第一頁開始,漫不經心地看,被深深吸引——這就是我的菜!第一天,捧讀至夜深,第二天,被督促寫筆記: (第二天的筆記) 占有:愛的必然動作 “……我的詩作從來沒有哪一首,像這樣專為一位特彆的讀者而寫——我隻為自...

評分用瞭整整三天時間,一口氣讀完瞭這本書,被深深的震撼。作者同時描寫瞭兩個世界,一個世界是現代學者羅蘭和莫德的世界,這個世界有點像戴維•洛奇的《小世界》;另外一個世界是維多利亞時代詩人艾許和剋裏斯塔貝爾的世界,這個世界以書信、日記構成,卻又比“真實的世界”更...
拜厄特用瞭兩個夏天完成這本書,她已經構思十五年瞭。最先確定的是書名,靈感來自Coleridge和研究他的Kathleen Coburn,想著她把一生都獻給瞭這個死人。她最先要的是死者與活人、研究者與詩人、性的連接。又放棄不掉學院的部份,又決意仿照Eco玫瑰的名字,把維多利亞時代召喚迴來,再加入多蘿西的偵探寫法。於是通俗和遺世獨立、世俗和性靈混雜在一起,反而對立著把那魂牽夢縈的東西降調瞭,接榫處處理得並不好,學院其他人物形象過於通俗,最後開墓的部份甚至有點鬧劇的意味。放掉瞭女性之間更深層的微妙,但確實留下瞭魂牽夢縈如夢似幻的東西。如果是atwood寫,會更流暢文體更繁多絢麗,但會失去拜厄特的生澀。如果是PF來寫,會減掉三分之二篇幅,但保留遺世獨立的氣質。如果是門羅來寫,嗯,她會換個切入點。
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。
