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...
评分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...
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
评分我算不上是奥斯丁的书迷。虽然她的书改编的电影电视剧看过都很喜欢,但是她的书阴差阳错我一本都没有读过。 开始看Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell之前稍微在网上看了几眼书评。说是用奥斯丁的笔法来写魔法,因为没有参照物,心里惴惴。又有很多评论家说是成人版的哈利波特...
俺还是不要指望BBC能拍出原作的风骨了【。#audiobook
评分between Lord of the Ring and Harry Potter... Interesting in a painful way...! :)
评分写得很好啊,十九世纪的文风,一点也不套路的奇幻;十分有趣的脚注。32小时听下来竟然不觉得长,还想要后续……

评分有时间完全读完就好了。中间小腹黑小幽默还是有不少,到处cried cried也是看得我快cry了……
