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.

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...

評分给这本书打五颗星,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...
評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...
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……
评分豆瓣真是垃圾,怎麼不能打六顆星。
评分俺還是不要指望BBC能拍齣原作的風骨瞭【。#audiobook
评分寫得很好啊,十九世紀的文風,一點也不套路的奇幻;十分有趣的腳注。32小時聽下來竟然不覺得長,還想要後續……
评分1. 太喜歡這種拐彎抹角一句話兜三圈酸人迴味無窮的文路瞭 2. Susanna Clarke的筆觸帶著一種自然而然的悲傷 她筆下的死亡 離別和迴憶 彷彿鉛灰色的霧靄 輕描淡寫卻重重的壓在人心上 隻可惜這個結尾啊 真的太不奧斯汀瞭
