Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell

by Portia Rosenberg, Susanna Clarke
$8.90
Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell
Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell

Resurgence of English magicians, rivaling dual narratives.

If intricate historical fantasy is what intrigues you, look no further than "Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell." Clarke weaves a tale where old-world magic merges with the historical events of the Napoleonic Wars, offering a rich tapestry of character-driven narratives. It's a read that might just enchant you with its detailed world-building and the complex relationship between two contrasting magicians.

Description

The year is 1806. England is beleaguered by the long war with Napoleon, and centuries have passed since practical magicians faded into the nation's past. But scholars of this glorious history discover that one remains: the reclusive Mr Norrell, whose displays of magic send a thrill through the country. Proceeding to London, he raises a beautiful woman from the dead and summons an army of ghostly ships to terrify the French. Yet the cautious, fussy Norrell is challenged by the emergence of another magician: the brilliant novice Jonathan Strange. Young, handsome and daring, Strange is the very antithesis of Norrell. So begins a dangerous battle between these two great men which overwhelms that between England and France. And their own obsessions and secret dabblings with the dark arts are going to cause more trouble than they can imagine.
