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.

读后感

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...  

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...  

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...  

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...

用户评价

1. 太喜歡這種拐彎抹角一句話兜三圈酸人回味無窮的文路了 2. Susanna Clarke的筆觸帶著一種自然而然的悲傷 她筆下的死亡 離別和回憶 彷彿鉛灰色的霧靄 輕描淡寫卻重重的壓在人心上 只可惜這個結尾啊 真的太不奧斯汀了

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。

行文克制，传统的简直要叫人相信这些事情都是真的，相当英国的一个魔法世界，古朴又回味悠长。

并未全部细读，我说我只挑了Childermass的部分读会不会被鄙视死。。。。anyway a good book about magicians. ps：对大妈把cried当作said用我真是够了，全文下来Norrell基本没有不cried的时候，囧。

前面很英国，悠闲到慢得有点受不了。但悠闲中埋下的很多伏笔到了第三部渐入高潮，喷薄而出。结尾差点看哭了，突然间迸发出无数阅读回忆与真知灼见。感觉应该有续集一样。很高兴墨迹了很多年终于读了。
