"This is what the novel The Master and Margarita might have looked like if Dickens had written it," suggests Alexander Genis, while Neil Gaiman called the book "the best literary tale in the English language in the last seventy years." Here England - a land of ancient magical traditions left behind - is at war with Napoleon, and the cautious Mr. Norrell and his impish apprentice Jonathan Strange dream of reviving the magical arts. Here, "dark mythology juxtaposed against a delightful Jane Austen-inspired comedy of manners gives birth to a masterpiece of Tolkienian proportions" (Time). Here incredible conflicts, human and inhuman, are described with absolute authenticity, and the realities, style, language of a bygone era recreated with the scope and meticulousness of "The Name of the Rose" by Umberto Eco.
The novel has been translated into dozens of languages, sold over a million copies worldwide and was screened: in 2015, a mini-series of the same name was released by the first BBC television channel, with Bertie Carvel and Eddie Marsan playing the main roles.
The translation is published in a new edition, with additional material and many illustrations.
