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.

其实大多数的时候读到一些小说总觉得少了些什么,但是又说不上来。直到看到这本书,看到它我就感觉到那些书“缺少”的到底是什么了。 咱们受到的第一次关于魔法、国王、大臣和术士的洗礼是什么?是童话和神话!别小看这些东西,这些故事流传了几千年,几百年,有着...
評分英国的苏珊娜•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...
評分作为一个小字控,我对大字体宽行距的书籍有着深入骨髓的厌恶。即使如此,我仍在扫了一眼后把这本厚如砖头的大书买了回去,并在读完后又买了两本珍藏。 我不会推荐朋友去阅读这本书,甚至会推荐某些朋友不要读它。因为我觉得和我兴趣不同的话,根本感觉不到这本书是多么了不起...
評分这本书不适合一口气读完。那简直就像是放着鲜蟹不吃非要来一大勺蟹粉扳面吃一样可惜。克拉克在这部书中模仿了维多利亚时期的风格,给人一种强烈的时代错位感。这也帮助了读者体会书中描写的故事。 特别是,现代的小说中已经不太可能看到的连续2页的注释,这里面你还能看到好多...
評分腰封上尼尔·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...
#原作比譯本贊多瞭!流暢有節奏,氣氛烘托也好。好多細節還是看原文纔能注意到,比如heartache那個預言。
评分不喜歡,看瞭1/10不看瞭,感覺更像是諷刺小說,不是我喜歡的類型
评分#原作比譯本贊多瞭!流暢有節奏,氣氛烘托也好。好多細節還是看原文纔能注意到,比如heartache那個預言。
评分有時間完全讀完就好瞭。中間小腹黑小幽默還是有不少,到處cried cried也是看得我快cry瞭……
评分行文剋製,傳統的簡直要叫人相信這些事情都是真的,相當英國的一個魔法世界,古樸又迴味悠長。
