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.

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...
评分腰封上尼尔·盖曼的名字那么大,远远看去还以为他出了新书。且不说他为此书写的序从头到笔都是水军手笔,单只一句“七十年来英国奇幻小说中最好的一部”就把极少触碰大部头奇幻作品的我惊了个踉跄。 一千一百页读完后,想不出更拉风的形容词,至少在开列近期个人五星书单时若非...
评分腰封上尼尔·盖曼的名字那么大,远远看去还以为他出了新书。且不说他为此书写的序从头到笔都是水军手笔,单只一句“七十年来英国奇幻小说中最好的一部”就把极少触碰大部头奇幻作品的我惊了个踉跄。 一千一百页读完后,想不出更拉风的形容词,至少在开列近期个人五星书单时若非...
评分1、太厚了。看着手很累,总也找不到好的姿势。 2、非常非常啰嗦。就像陈旧的故纸堆每翻一页都会有很多灰尘,就像一个老太太在絮絮叨叨,不时跳出来的所谓历史,人物,注释,传说,理论探讨,冗长乏味,时刻挑战你的耐心。 3、老式英国小说的味道。作者总试图和读者对话 ———...
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...
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It is, simply, brilliant!
评分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
评分这书的英语还是很好懂的,语法比较简单。不过故事我不是特别喜欢,感觉就是瞎jb乱编,编到哪算哪,有的坑都没填......
评分不喜欢,看了1/10不看了,感觉更像是讽刺小说,不是我喜欢的类型
