Clean and unmarked cover with trace wear to extremities, a little more wear to spine heel. Solid, tight, and square thick volume. Pages quite clean, no markings, no creases. An epic tale of 19th century England, when most people believed magic to be dead in England--until Mr. Norrell of Hurtfew Abbey shows his powers as a magician. Then up comes a young, handsome student, Jonathan Strange, to become Norrell's student. They join forces in a war against France, where the Napoleonic Wars rage. And their magic becomes wild and dangerous. Magic, mythology, comedy--a great read. 846 pages. 8.25 x 1.75 x 5.5 inches. 2005, Bloomsbury, USA
Sinopsis
Two magicians shall appear in England. The first shall fear me; the second shall long to behold me ... 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 opposite of Norrell. So begins a dangerous battle between these two great men which overwhelms the one 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.
