"Obladatʹ" - luchshiĭ roman Antonii Sʹi͡uzen Baĭett, i ėto ne preuvelichenie: kniga schitaetsi͡a odnim iz luchshikh angliĭskikh romanov kont͡sa XX veka. Vprochem, slovo "roman" mozhno primenitʹ k ėtoĭ udivitelʹnoĭ proze vesʹma uslovno. Chto zhe takoe pered nami? Detektivnyĭ roman ideĭ? Zhenskiĭ goticheskiĭ roman v sovremennom ispolnenii?

"Possess" is a legendary Booker Prize—winning novel, one of the most important works of British literature of the late 20th century. In a new design! The best gift for all connoisseurs of high-quality prose. To Possess is Antonia Susan Byatt's best novel, and this is no exaggeration: the book is considered one of the best English novels of the late 20th century. However, the word "novel" can be applied to this amazing prose very conditionally. What is in front of us? A detective novel of ideas? A female Gothic novel in a modern version? A chivalrous romance in a new way? All together, there is something more: a deeply modern piece that has absorbed many traditions and is marked by genuine inspiration and innovation. In the novel, the mystery of the English spirit and English greatness shimmers in different facets. But first of all, this is a book about living people (even if some of them have died long ago), whose images come to the reader like an obsession; about love and passion that overcomes time and death; about the aspirations of the spirit and flesh, earthly and sublime, explicit and hidden; and about the divine Plan that can be seen in tragic and comic the patterns of human destiny. Through the mirror maze of the plot, the characters of this bizarre narrative make their way into the mysterious past: the inhabitants of the age of men — in the age of heroes, and the inhabitants of the age of heroes — in the age of the gods. Two elements reign on these pages — the element of the mind, the brilliance of thought, almost sensual, and the element of subtle eroticism, born from the contact of the coarse matter of life with the delicate fabrics of fantasy. "To Possess" occupies a unique place in the history of modern literature and, with its deep national identity, belongs to the whole world. Now, several decades after the release of Bayette's masterpiece, it seems that the 1990 Booker Prize awarded to the novel is not enough. As, perhaps, the Order of the British Empire, awarded to the author a little later, is not enough. The perfect gift for connoisseurs of intellectual prose is a new edition of the cult novel!
