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.

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...
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...
评分这本书的装祯实在太恐怖了,700页的书一本全,还是差不多A4的大开本,捧着看几页手腕就累得不行了,只能放桌上跟读课本一样,一页一页翻开。印刷更是惨不忍睹,N多页墨迹严重不足,每页那可怕的防羊皮纸痕迹,外加大魔法师那几个弱智字,还一股股的发霉油墨味,我都不知道该如...

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
