Recenzii

Dazzling, witty and gleefully entertaining . A triumph . this is an energetic, engaging and inventive tale that simply kidnaps the lucky reader to participate in a rare experience
With all of the whimsy, spark and imagination of Harry Potter and the dry, well-observed wit of Neil Gaiman, Susanna Clarke perfectly conveys all that can be brilliant about British literature and manages to be refreshingly different from either
A highly original and compelling work
Many books are to be read, some are to be studied, and a few are meant to be lived in for weeks. Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell is of this last kind
Full of epic sweep and intimate human drama . An imaginative treat
Ravishing ... superb ... Combines the dark mythology of fantasy with the delicious social comedy of Jane Austen into a masterpiece of the genre that rivals Tolkien
Clarke's imagination is prodigious, her pacing is masterly and she knows how to employ dry humour in the service of majesty . Clarke's giddiness comes from finding a way at once to enter the company of her literary heroes, to pay them homage and to add to the literature, to slot this big fat book into our own libraries of spells. In this fantasy, the master that magic serves is reverence for writing
An elegant and witty historical fantasy which deserves to be judged on its own (considerable) merit
It is packed with neat, deft touches; peopled with an intriguing and varied supporting cast; linguistically and socially utterly authentic in its evocation of its idiosyncratic version of its chosen era; movingly redolent of the author's affection for both her protagonists; and builds to a resolution that satisfies both logically and poetically
A sprawling saga about 19th-century frenemy magicians who revive the art of "practical magic" after years of its being merely an academic pursuit . It's also a book wherein storytelling helps make the meaning: Clarke's pastiche of period styles accentuates her commentary on English identity, and hundreds of footnotes chronicle the history of magic. It's the novel Hogwarts-lit nerds read during their postmodern Pynchon phase
Dazzling, witty and gleefully entertaining . A triumph . this is an energetic, engaging and inventive tale that simply kidnaps the lucky reader to participate in a rare experience
