Articoli correlati a Angels And Insects
Like A.S. Byatt’s Booker Prize-winning novel, Possession, these two mesmerising novellas are set in the nineteenth century. In Morpho Eugenia, an explorer realises that the behaviour of the people around him is alarmingly similar to that of the insects he studies. In The Conjugal Angel, curious individuals – some fictional, others drawn from history – gather to connect with the spirit world. Throughout both, Byatt examines the eccentricities of the Victorian era, weaving fact and fiction, reality and romance, science and faith into a sumptuous, magical tapestry.

Recensione:
"Her plot is as compelling as that of a classical detective story, but it is the quality of the writing - its use and unity of metaphor, its sensuous language, its wit and intellectual playfulness - which renders it remarkable" (Amanda Craig Literary Review)
"A. S. Byatt is one of our finest living novelists, who manages to tease and to satisfy both the intellect and the imagination ... I am already a convinced admirer of the works of A. S. Byatt. ANGELS & INSECTS should win over many more enthusiasts" (Caroline Moore Daily Telegraph)
"Victorian and fun ... marvellous and maddening ... a display and a delight" (Nicci Gerrard Observer)
"Her best work to date" (Times Literary Supplement)

"Victorian and fun ... marvellous and maddening ... a display and a delight" (Nicci Gerrard Observer)
"Her best work to date" (Times Literary Supplement)
These two Victoriana novellas are both exquisite evocations of the period and magically timeless stories, full of the humour and poetry peculiar to A. S. Byatt’s prose.
