Krátky popis
Any book touted as the ‘adult Harry Potter’ runs the risk of
attracting critical parries from swords of the double-edged
variety. If this wasn’t enough, Jonathan Strange &, Mr
Norrell--the debut novel from Susanna Clarke--also invites
comparisons with Jane Austen. Set in the early nineteenth-century,
the action moves from genteel drawing rooms—albeit where a
mischievous Faerie king sips tea with the wife of a very human
government minister, to the bloody battleground of Waterloo, where
giant hands of earth drag men to their doom. The juxtaposition of
perfectly realised magical worlds and the everyday one with which
JK Rowling and Philip Pullman so successfully captured our
imaginations and the social comedy of Austen and Thackeray can
easily be recognised. But less easy to pastiche is the ability of
these writers to induce sheer narrative pleasure, and it is
Clarke’s great achievement that she succeeds with this hugely
enjoyable read.
