«Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell» is Susanna Clarke's fantasy novel, published by Bloomsbury USA in hardcover (782 pages, in English).
In nineteenth-century England, magic seems a theoretical pursuit. The reclusive Mr Norrell, owner of a library of grimoires, proves it can still be practiced. Jonathan Strange, young and charismatic, becomes his pupil, but their ideas about magic clash: Norrell advocates caution, Strange the riskier forms. Their actions influence the war against Napoleon and confront them with the legend of the Raven King.
Susanna Clarke's first novel and the first title in the Strange & Norrell series.
Novel winner of the Hugo and World Fantasy awards, for readers of historical fantasy.
