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.

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...
评分这本书不适合一口气读完。那简直就像是放着鲜蟹不吃非要来一大勺蟹粉扳面吃一样可惜。克拉克在这部书中模仿了维多利亚时期的风格,给人一种强烈的时代错位感。这也帮助了读者体会书中描写的故事。 特别是,现代的小说中已经不太可能看到的连续2页的注释,这里面你还能看到好多...
评分 评分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...
评分其实大半年前就开始看了,看了不到15%就扔下了,跟很多人一样,不耐于它的冗长繁杂。而且看的是英文原版,是典型的英国的句式风格吧,弯来绕去,从句套从句,看得很费力。不过虽然看得不耐烦,还是觉得是本写得不错的书,充满了幽默,睿智的感觉。 过了大半年,又看到有人推荐...

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.

写得很好啊,十九世纪的文风,一点也不套路的奇幻;十分有趣的脚注。32小时听下来竟然不觉得长,还想要后续……
评分俺还是不要指望BBC能拍出原作的风骨了【。#audiobook
评分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
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
