«Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell» is Susanna Clarke's fantasy novel, published by Bloomsbury Paperbacks in paperback (1024 pages, in English).
In 1806, during the Napoleonic Wars, magic seems extinct in England. The learned Mr Norrell revives it by resurrecting a woman and creating a spectral fleet against France, but the young Jonathan Strange, his pupil, represents a more dangerous form of magic that opens a rivalry between them with unforeseeable consequences.
This edition came out in September 2005. It is the first instalment of the Strange & Norrell series and the work was awarded the Hugo and World Fantasy Awards.
A work suited to readers of historical fantasy who appreciate long novels, with Napoleonic setting, magic and two opposing protagonists.
