Byatt portrays the strange relationship between an intelligent heroine-a world-renowned scholar of the art of storytelling-and the marvelous being that lives in a bottle, found in a dusty shop in an Istanbul bazaar. As Byatt renders the relationship between the woman and the being with a powerful combination of erudition and passion, she makes the interaction of the natural and the supernatural seem not only convincing, but inevitable.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe companion stories in this collection each display different facets of Byatt's remarkable gift for enchantment. They range from fables of sexual obsession to allegories of political tragedy; they draw us into narratives that are as mesmerizing as dreams and as bracing as philosophical meditations; and they all inhabit an imaginative universe astonishing in the precision of its detail, its intellectual consistency, and its splendor.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat\/pages\u003c\/strong\u003e: paperback \/ 288 pages\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9780679762225\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher\u003c\/strong\u003e: Vintage\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eYear\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1998\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"A.
