The Fantastic and Literature: The English novel in the state ... It would have taken me two weeks to overcome the 860 pages writing tight hit the pavement. Either the same time as taken me two thousand pages in six volumes combined "Chronicles of San Francisco de Maupin (a must for the summer by the way). Much fun? I do not know. Something at the very least extremely different? This is without doubt.
In the early years of the nineteenth century, a British socialized, player crazy fan of the magic that had made all the glory of his country until four centuries earlier before disappearing into disuse - and being rather than explored in theory - will decide to change history. He wants to make its letters of nobility to magic by delivering into force in England. This Mr Norrell, which will first be everything to ensure the only magician of the country practitioner before meeting Jonathan Strange, his exact opposite in every way, also very talented in the same discipline. It will take to the student before being doubled by it, and it is in confrontation that their story will turn.
It is miles away from Harry Potter and yet it seems necessary to clarify. Nothing expected, no foregone conclusion. Here the magicians take their art to the study of dusty old manuscripts. They are experienced in solitude, and want only one thing: helping the government in its mission to protect the nation. The enemy is not a ghost but sticky Napoleon Bonaparte, the French conqueror threatens the island kingdom. Item wands and brushes to play football in the air but the spells in Latin to inform the general of the royal army.
The purpose is fantastic, its treatment could not be more realistic, even naturalistic (in nearly nine hundred pages, there are some pitfalls that we will not escape but they give the work his small craft stamp and "first novel "). After a while we said nothing more likely. We would sometimes rebuke to the characters remain in their spells and curses so down to earth, conventional plausible. Here of enchanted kingdom. Point Edenic dream. It is through a new way of thinking about the world, politics, human relations and the relation of man to the world that Susanna Clarke invites us into its pages.
And this is why Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell is not to classify as fantasy or science fiction for some time but held a prominent place in the top ranks of literature Contemporary. A great discovery. A magical journey that begins with the "packaging" chosen by the publisher to carry out without delay.
