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.

给这本书打五颗星,并不代表无条件地推荐,因为这是一本需要耐心的书。它的特殊之处,或者更应该说是特殊之处之一,在于作者基本无视现代小说(尤其是奇幻类型小说)的一切所谓叙事规律。书的结构可以说是松散,尤其是一开始的节奏不慌不忙,如果读者按照普通奇幻的套路推测情节...
评分节奏很慢,但丝毫不影响小说本身的吸引力。susanna clarke 的文学功底不错啊,语言非常elegant
评分 评分英国的苏珊娜•克拉克是继J•K•罗琳之后又一位将英国奇幻小说带入世界奇幻文坛的作家,她创作的《英伦魔法师》甫一上市便获肯定,好评如潮,斩获“雨果”、“世界奇幻”、“英国国家图书”等重大奖项,授权出版流行于全球三十余个国家,并被英国广播公司拍摄成电...
评分译者的翻译风格古不古,今不今,而且我觉得译者本身的文笔也很差,大家可以去亚马逊上看一看译者写的译后记,非常地矫情累赘还爱炫耀,很多本不必写出来的东西都要拿出来叨一叨,例如她占用了老公的外星人电脑来翻译,逼得老公用惠普电脑工作,再例如她念了一个成功的硕士...
1. 太喜歡這種拐彎抹角一句話兜三圈酸人回味無窮的文路了 2. Susanna Clarke的筆觸帶著一種自然而然的悲傷 她筆下的死亡 離別和回憶 彷彿鉛灰色的霧靄 輕描淡寫卻重重的壓在人心上 只可惜這個結尾啊 真的太不奧斯汀了
评分并未全部细读,我说我只挑了Childermass的部分读会不会被鄙视死。。。。anyway a good book about magicians. ps:对大妈把cried当作said用我真是够了,全文下来Norrell基本没有不cried的时候,囧。
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?
