继承了 Simon Winchester 和 Dava Sobel 的叙事传统，《The Riddle of the Labyrinth: The Quest to Crack an Ancient Code》讲述了语言史上最引人入胜的故事之一，将历史、语言学和密码学巧妙地融入优雅精巧的叙事之中。当著名考古学家 Arthur Evans 发掘出比希腊古典时代早一千年、繁荣于克里特岛的高度发达的青铜时代文明遗址时，他发现了一批古代泥板，这是欧洲最早的文字记录。半个世纪以来，这些铭文的含义，乃至其所用的语言……

Margalit Fox 写的《The Riddle of the Labyrinth》也是关于这个主题的好书。书里花了很多篇幅介绍为 Michael Ventris 奠定基础的那些人，尤其是 Alice Kober。
The Riddle of the Labyrinth by Margalit Fox is also a good book on this topic. It talks a lot about the people who laid the foundation for Michael Ventris, particularly Alice Kober.
……Noel Malcolm 的《Sixteenth-Century Mediterranean World》——这本非常棒，讲述了奥斯曼帝国与基督教世界纷争下一个家族的历史。Margalit Fox 的《The Riddle of the Labyrinth: The Quest to Crack an Ancient Code》——又一本好书，探讨了线形文字B（Linear B）是如何被破译的，特别强调了工作长期被忽视的 Alice Kober……
…Sixteenth-Century Mediterranean World by Noel Malcolm - This one is really good, covering the history of a single family amidst the relationships between the Ottoman Empire and the Christian world. The Riddle of the Labyrinth: The Quest to Crack an Ancient Code by Margalit Fox - Another excellent book, this discussing how Linear B was deciphered, with particular emphasis placed on Alice Kober, whose work was largely overlooked…

Margalit Fox 的《The Riddle of the Labyrinth: The Quest to Crack an Ancient Code》一书讲述了迈锡尼线形文字B（Linear B）的破译过程。书中描述的一件（对我来说）很震撼的事情是，他们究竟是怎么摸清……
The book "The Riddle of the Labyrinth: The Quest to Crack an Ancient Code" by Margalit Fox is about the deciphering of the Mycenaean Linear B script. One of the striking (to me) things described in the book was how they even figured out how…
……当我们追求这些价值观时所能获得的奖赏。后来的书籍更好地聚焦了 Ventris 的合作者们，尤其是在科学上严谨得多的 Alice Kober（比如《The Riddle of the Labyrinth》），但我永远忘不了自己在 14 岁左右读 Chadwick 时的情景，感触极深。那是一本对我影响至深的奠基之作，即便关于线形文字B（Linear B）的实际科学现状要复杂得多！
…rewards we can earn when we aspire to these values. Later books did a much better job shining a light on Ventris' collaborators, in particular the scientifically far more rigorous Alice Kober (e.g. The Riddle of the Labyrinth), but I will never forget reading Chadwick with 14, or thereabouts, and feeling profoundly affected. A formative read, even if the actual state of science on Linear B is quite a bit more complicated!
