"Possessing" is one of the best English novels of the late XX century and, not doubtfully, the best work of Anthony Bayette. However, the word "Roman" can be applied to this amazing prose very conditionally. What is before us? A detective novel of ideas? Women"s Gothic novel in modern performance? A knightly novel in a new way? All together - and something more, a deeply modern thing that has absorbed many traditions and at the same time marked by the seal of genuine inspiration and innovation. In it, the secret of the English spirit and English greatness shimmers in different faces.
But first of all, this book about living people (let some of them have long died), the images of which are obsessed with the reader, about love, rebellious and frantic passion, defeating time and death, about the aspirations of the spirit and flesh, earthly and earthly elevated, obvious and hidden, and about the divine plan, which peeps in the tragic and comic patterns of the fate of the human ... According to the mirror labyrinth of the plot, the characters of this bizarre story make their way into the mysterious past: the inhabitants of the era of people are in the era of heroes, and the inhabitants of the era of heroes - in The era 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, which is born from the contact of the rough matter of life with the tender fabric of fantasy.
to possesses a unique place in the history of modern literature and, with its deep national originality, belongs to the whole world. Now, a quarter of a century after Bayett’s masterpiece, there seems little of the Bu Kerov Prize, awarded in 1990. As, perhaps, there are few orders of the British Empire, handed to the author a little later
