Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell de Susanna Clarke

Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell

Autor Susanna Clarke
en Limba Engleză Paperback – sep 2020
In the Hugo-award winning, epic New York Times Bestseller and basis for the BBC miniseries, two men change England's history when they bring magic back into the world.

In the midst of the Napoleonic Wars in 1806, most people believe magic to have long since disappeared from England - until the reclusive Mr. Norrell reveals his powers and becomes an overnight celebrity.

Another practicing magician then emerges: the young and daring Jonathan Strange. He becomes Norrell's pupil, and the two join forces in the war against France.

But Strange is increasingly drawn to the wild, most perilous forms of magic, and he soon risks sacrificing his partnership with Norrell and everything else he holds dear.

Susanna Clarke's brilliant first novel is an utterly compelling epic tale of nineteenth-century England and the two magicians who, first as teacher and pupil and then as rivals, emerge to change its history.

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

OVER 4 MILLION COPIES SOLD WORLDWIDEShortlisted for the Whitbread First Novel Award and the Guardian First Book Award Longlisted for the Man Booker Prize 'Unquestionably the finest English novel of the fantastic written in the last seventy years ... Funny, moving, scary, otherworldly, practical and magical' NEIL GAIMANThe year is 1806. Centuries have passed since practical magicians faded into the nation's past. But scholars of this glorious history discover that one remains: the reclusive Mr Norrell, whose displays of magic send a thrill through the country. Proceeding to London, he raises a beautiful woman from the dead and summons an army of ghostly ships to terrify the French. Yet the cautious, fussy Norrell is challenged by the emergence of another magician: the brilliant novice Jonathan Strange. Young, handsome and daring, Strange is the very antithesis of Norrell. So begins a dangerous battle between these two great men which overwhelms that between England and France. And their own obsessions and secret dabblings with the dark arts are going to cause more trouble than they can imagine.
