荣获英国 Booker Prize 并成为当年文坛轰动之作的 Possession 是一部兼具智慧与浪漫的扣人心弦之作，既是一部知识分子的悬疑解谜剧，也是一段荡气回肠的爱情史诗。故事讲述了两位年轻学者研究两位维多利亚时代诗人一生的经历。随着他们发掘出信件、日记和诗歌，并循着两人的足迹从伦敦追踪到约克郡——从降神会现场到传说中仙灵出没的布列塔尼最西端——呈现出的是激情与思想非同寻常的交织复调。一部充满机智与浪漫、充满理智悬疑与胜利喜悦的精彩小说

……学习或工作，并遭受文化冲击。我母亲是位艺术史学家，曾在考陶尔德艺术学院（Courtauld Institute）师从安东尼·布朗特（Anthony Blunt），所以你能理解读《康沃尔》（Cornish）对我来说是什么感觉。如果你还没读过 A.S. 拜厄特（AS Byatt）的《占有》（Possession），我觉得既然你喜欢《康沃尔》，也会喜欢它的。两本书风格迥异，但触及了许多相似的概念，或许只是少了些魔幻现实主义。（学术争斗、艺术史）我经常……
…study or work, and suffers culture shock. My mum was an art historian and studied under Anthony Blunt at the Courtauld Institute so you can understand how "Cornish" read to me. If you haven't read "Possession" by AS Byatt, I think having enjoyed "Cornish" you would like it. A very different book but touching many similar concepts without the magical realism perhaps. (Academic rivalries, art history) I often…
噢，有意思——我从没想过把《占有》归为暗黑学院风（dark academia）。但你说得对，它确实是。它绝对是我最爱的小说之一，比《校园秘史》（The Secret History，我也挺喜欢这本）还要高一个段位。每次重读我都再次被深深折服……
Oh that’s interesting - I’d never thought of Possession as being dark academia. But you’re right, it is. It’s certainly one of my favorite novels, on another level than The Secret History which I also enjoyed. Every time I re-read it I am impressed all over…
……经手物品的价值不可估量。人们现在还说当年失窃后找回的《蒙娜丽莎》是个赝品，真迹锁在某个黑手党大佬的保险箱里供其暗爽。也许这就是为什么《利刃出鞘2》（Glass Onion）里有它吧？A.S. 拜厄特的《占有》把这个问题小说化了。文笔极美。如果你是个自命不凡（soi-disant）的作家、文人，精通鞭术，且即将被你监牢的废墟吞噬……
…goods as handled is inestimable. People still say the Mona Lisa returned after theft is a fake and some Mafia lord has the real one in a safe, to gloat over. Perhaps that's why "glass onion" had it? "Possession" by A.S.Byatt is a fictionalisation of the problem. Beautifully written. If you were a soi-disant author, man of letters, handy with a whip, and about to be consumed by the wreckage of your prison ..…
我觉得有时候你需要有合适的心态才能啃下某些书，尤其是那些更“文学”或更复杂的小说。《Possession》就是这样。它是我读过的最伟大的书之一，也许是我第一次看到有些作家在文学水平上几乎高于所有其他人。Byatt 就是这样。美丽的书。我还……
I think you sometimes need to be in the right frame of mind to tackle some books, especially the more "literary" or complicated novels. "Possession" was like that. It's one of the great books I've read and perhaps the first time I saw that some authors are on a higher literary level than almost all others. Byatt was like that. Beautiful book. I also…
我深信《编码宝典》（Cryptonomicon）的结尾（以及其他部分）灵感来自 A.S. 拜厄特的小说《占有》，但我没有任何证据能证实这一点。这里有个有趣的帖子，里面列出了更多带有类似设定的书：https://ask.metafilter.com/190234/Help-me-find-novels-set-in...
I’m convinced the ending (and other parts) of Cryptonomicon were inspired by A.S. Byatt’s novel Possession, but I have no evidence to support this claim. Here’s an interesting thread with more books that share this conceit: https://ask.metafilter.com/190234/Help-me-find-novels-set-in...
人们赋予流传渊源（provenance）的部分价值，来自于建立流传链条过程中伴随的神秘感以及人间戏剧。（想想拜厄特的《占有》，或是学术争议如何推高一件艺术品的知名度。）任何数字化记录都彻底抽干了整个过程的浪漫色彩。
Some of the value people associate with provenance comes from the mystery Ave human drama involved in establishing a provenance chain. (Think of Byatt’s Possession or the way a scholarly dispute raises the profile of a work of art.) Any digital record really drains the romance out of the whole process.
