“This is what the novel The Master and Margarita might have looked like if Dickens had written it,” believes Alexander Genis, and Neil Gaiman called this book “the best literary fairy tale in the English language in the last seventy years.” Here, England - a country of ancient magical traditions left in the past - is at war with Napoleon, and the cautious Mr. Norrell and his impulsive student Jonathan Strange dream of reviving the art of magic. Here, "dark mythology set against a delightful Jane Austen-esque comedy of manners produces a masterpiece of Tolkien proportions" (Time). Here, incredible conflicts, human and inhuman, are described with absolute certainty, and the realities, style, language of a bygone era are recreated with the scope and meticulousness of Umberto Eco's The Name of the Rose.
The novel was translated into dozens of languages, sold over a million copies around the world and was filmed: in 2015, the eponymous mini-series of the first BBC channel was released, starring Bertie Carvel and Eddie Marsan.
The translation is published in a new edition, with additional materials and many illustrations.
