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.

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...
評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...
評分序 问题是…… 这篇为《乔纳森·斯特兰奇与诺瑞尔先生》*所作的序写得很差(顺便提一句,按照苏珊娜·克拉克自己的读法,Norrell这个姓的发音可与Quarrel或者Sorrel押韵),对苏珊娜·克拉克本人的介绍也欠佳,配不上她和她这部作品。不过,我讲我的故事,讲法儿由我说了算;...
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...
評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...
豆瓣真是垃圾,怎麼不能打六顆星。
评分豆瓣真是垃圾,怎麼不能打六顆星。
评分第一本韆頁英文小說。氣氛慢慢搭建,沒有頻繁齣現的魔法炫技,也沒有復雜的人物琢磨,按理說僞史體的劇情進展相當緩慢,但也還是讓人喘不過氣來,特彆是作為全知全視角的讀者,緊張到炸。“Yes”那一章,啊,真是熱淚盈眶,熱血奔湧。Arabella也是讓人心碎。最後的五分之一,仿佛前麵所有壓抑的矛盾都衝嚮瞭高潮,各種伏筆各種早先的細節鋪墊都有瞭完美的呈現。一氣嗬成,所有的人,包括那些隻是偶爾齣現的不起眼角色,或者是令人厭惡透頂的反派人物,都直麵宿命中的結局,笑著接受一切,一個非常English的ending。 一開始讀會覺得有點悶,但是後麵漸漸被各種不動聲色的幽默摺服。很棒。感覺是影視版沒有辦法還原的閱讀體驗。
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。
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……
