Susanna Clarke was born in Nottingham in 1959. A nomadic childhood was spent in towns in Northern England and Scotland. She was educated at St Hilda's College, Oxford, and has worked in various areas of non-fiction publishing, including Gordon Fraser and Quarto. In 1990, she left London and went to Turin to teach English to stressed-out executives of the Fiat motor company. The following year she taught English in Bilbao.
She returned to England in 1992 and spent the rest of that year in County Durham, in a house that looked out over the North Sea. There she began working on her first novel, Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell.
From 1993 to 2003, Susanna Clarke was an editor at Simon and Schuster's Cambridge office, where she worked on their cookery list. She has published seven short stories and novellas in US anthologies. One, "The Duke of Wellington Misplaces His Horse," first appeared in a limited-edition, illustrated chapbook from Green Man Press. Another, "Mr Simonelli or The Fairy Widower," was shortlisted for a World Fantasy Award in 2001.
She lives in Cambridge with her partner, the novelist and reviewer Colin Greenland.
At the dawn of the nineteenth century, two very different magicians emerge to change England's history. In the year 1806, with the Napoleonic Wars raging on land and sea, most people believe magic to be long dead in England--until the reclusive Mr Norrell reveals his powers, and becomes a celebrity overnight.
Soon, another practicing magician comes forth: the young, handsome, and daring Jonathan Strange. He becomes Norrell's student, and they join forces in the war against France. But Strange is increasingly drawn to the wildest, most perilous forms of magic, straining his partnership with Norrell, and putting at risk everything else he holds dear.

苏珊娜,卡拉克。让魔法穿行于历史事迹之间,看似胡言乱语,其实更有蹊跷,懵懂之间,渐渐透明。 其实,我们不知道魔法,电影就是魔法,但是,质感魔法还是很震撼。 去掉自己的尺子,来深入的阅读,定会乐不思蜀,流连忘返。
评分苏姗娜.克拉克的《英伦魔法师》在国内并不是第一次出版。如果是奇幻小说爱好者,一定会记得若干年前,有一本名为《大魔法师》,由吉林出版集团刊印发行的奇葩奇幻小说——说奇葩,是因为这本书的装订烂到令人发指——这两者是同一本小说。本来洗版应该是一件好事,譬如《魔戒...
评分其实大半年前就开始看了,看了不到15%就扔下了,跟很多人一样,不耐于它的冗长繁杂。而且看的是英文原版,是典型的英国的句式风格吧,弯来绕去,从句套从句,看得很费力。不过虽然看得不耐烦,还是觉得是本写得不错的书,充满了幽默,睿智的感觉。 过了大半年,又看到有人推荐...
评分从古希腊时代开始,哲学家们便对历史和文学之间的关系争执不休。例如柏拉图曾经说过,诗所模拟的不是真实,而是真实的影子,因此与真理隔了三层。然而亚里斯多德却认为,历史讲述的是已经发生的事情,而诗讲述的是可能发生的事情;历史所讲述的是个别的事物,而诗所讲述的则是...
评分在kindle上读到第27章,某早上用电脑继续看,看完回到kindle发现接不上,原来在电脑上不知为何跳到了第54章,然后我就想,跳了27章还让人完全没察觉的书,我们就不要继续浪费时间了对吧… 然后那大段大段irrelavant装可爱用的注脚啊 特别蛋疼 尤其用电子设备看的话
评分豆瓣真是垃圾,怎么不能打六颗星。
评分看完了,前面三分之一很闷,后面三分之二越来越好看。结尾很好,喜欢! | 26% 这个作者好啰嗦啊!偶尔写到魔法时倒是很美丽。。。不知道后面会不会好看一点?
评分前面很英国,悠闲到慢得有点受不了。但悠闲中埋下的很多伏笔到了第三部渐入高潮,喷薄而出。结尾差点看哭了,突然间迸发出无数阅读回忆与真知灼见。感觉应该有续集一样。很高兴墨迹了很多年终于读了。
评分Jane Austen meets Harry Potter. 绅士的格律vs私欲的放纵。这是一本值得一读再读的非常优秀的魔幻小说。是近现代最接近austen的阅读体验。作者对文字的驾驭也犹如魔法一般
