«Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell» is the historical fantasy novel by Susanna Clarke published in paperback, in French.
In the England of 1806, during the Napoleonic Wars, magic has returned after centuries of oblivion. The magicians Gilbert Norrell and Jonathan Strange embody two ways of understanding that return: the former, prudent and erudite; the latter, brilliant and audacious. The novel interweaves their destinies with folklore and the historical events of the 19th century.
First instalment of the Strange & Norrell series. The English original was published in 2004; this French edition, translated by Isabelle Delord-Philippe, appeared in 2008.
For readers of historical fantasy who prefer to read this work in French.
