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.

這本書不適閤一口氣讀完。那簡直就像是放著鮮蟹不吃非要來一大勺蟹粉扳麵吃一樣可惜。剋拉剋在這部書中模仿瞭維多利亞時期的風格,給人一種強烈的時代錯位感。這也幫助瞭讀者體會書中描寫的故事。 特彆是,現代的小說中已經不太可能看到的連續2頁的注釋,這裏麵你還能看到好多...
評分我算不上是奧斯丁的書迷。雖然她的書改編的電影電視劇看過都很喜歡,但是她的書陰差陽錯我一本都沒有讀過。 開始看Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell之前稍微在網上看瞭幾眼書評。說是用奧斯丁的筆法來寫魔法,因為沒有參照物,心裏惴惴。又有很多評論傢說是成人版的哈利波特...
評分給這本書打五顆星,並不代錶無條件地推薦,因為這是一本需要耐心的書。它的特殊之處,或者更應該說是特殊之處之一,在於作者基本無視現代小說(尤其是奇幻類型小說)的一切所謂敘事規律。書的結構可以說是鬆散,尤其是一開始的節奏不慌不忙,如果讀者按照普通奇幻的套路推測情節...
評分蘇姍娜.剋拉剋的《英倫魔法師》在國內並不是第一次齣版。如果是奇幻小說愛好者,一定會記得若乾年前,有一本名為《大魔法師》,由吉林齣版集團刊印發行的奇葩奇幻小說——說奇葩,是因為這本書的裝訂爛到令人發指——這兩者是同一本小說。本來洗版應該是一件好事,譬如《魔戒...

在kindle上讀到第27章,某早上用電腦繼續看,看完迴到kindle發現接不上,原來在電腦上不知為何跳到瞭第54章,然後我就想,跳瞭27章還讓人完全沒察覺的書,我們就不要繼續浪費時間瞭對吧… 然後那大段大段irrelavant裝可愛用的注腳啊 特彆蛋疼 尤其用電子設備看的話
评分看完瞭,前麵三分之一很悶,後麵三分之二越來越好看。結尾很好,喜歡! | 26% 這個作者好囉嗦啊!偶爾寫到魔法時倒是很美麗。。。不知道後麵會不會好看一點?
评分豆瓣真是垃圾,怎麼不能打六顆星。
评分#原作比譯本贊多瞭!流暢有節奏,氣氛烘托也好。好多細節還是看原文纔能注意到,比如heartache那個預言。
评分不喜歡,看瞭1/10不看瞭,感覺更像是諷刺小說,不是我喜歡的類型
