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.

苏姗娜.克拉克的《英伦魔法师》在国内并不是第一次出版。如果是奇幻小说爱好者,一定会记得若干年前,有一本名为《大魔法师》,由吉林出版集团刊印发行的奇葩奇幻小说——说奇葩,是因为这本书的装订烂到令人发指——这两者是同一本小说。本来洗版应该是一件好事,譬如《魔戒...
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...
评分完美品质的由来 1 这本书是我跑了很远去市图书馆借的 2 借书证用的是同学的,书非借不能读也,这书辗转两次,更显珍贵(准确讲是很喜欢的春人的) 3 我在很高很高的书架投射下的阴影里找到的它,而且当时又闷又热,心情复杂激动 4 这本书又丑又破,又厚又大 5 而且内页非常神奇...
看完了,前面三分之一很闷,后面三分之二越来越好看。结尾很好,喜欢! | 26% 这个作者好啰嗦啊!偶尔写到魔法时倒是很美丽。。。不知道后面会不会好看一点?
评分第一本千页英文小说。气氛慢慢搭建,没有频繁出现的魔法炫技,也没有复杂的人物琢磨,按理说伪史体的剧情进展相当缓慢,但也还是让人喘不过气来,特别是作为全知全视角的读者,紧张到炸。“Yes”那一章,啊,真是热泪盈眶,热血奔涌。Arabella也是让人心碎。最后的五分之一,仿佛前面所有压抑的矛盾都冲向了高潮,各种伏笔各种早先的细节铺垫都有了完美的呈现。一气呵成,所有的人,包括那些只是偶尔出现的不起眼角色,或者是令人厌恶透顶的反派人物,都直面宿命中的结局,笑着接受一切,一个非常English的ending。 一开始读会觉得有点闷,但是后面渐渐被各种不动声色的幽默折服。很棒。感觉是影视版没有办法还原的阅读体验。
评分在kindle上读到第27章,某早上用电脑继续看,看完回到kindle发现接不上,原来在电脑上不知为何跳到了第54章,然后我就想,跳了27章还让人完全没察觉的书,我们就不要继续浪费时间了对吧… 然后那大段大段irrelavant装可爱用的注脚啊 特别蛋疼 尤其用电子设备看的话
评分小清新奇幻故事.... 不过作者大姐您模仿Jane Austin的语言风格让也就算了,犯不上模仿人家不结婚吧...
评分豆瓣真是垃圾,怎么不能打六颗星。
