Story
Piranesi lives in the House. Perhaps he always has. In his notebooks, day after day, he makes a clear and careful record of its wonders: the labyrinth of halls, the thousands upon thousands of statues, the tides that thunder up staircases, the clouds that move in slow procession through the upper halls. On Tuesdays and Fridays Piranesi sees his friend, the Other. At other times he brings tributes of food to the Dead. But mostly, he is alone.

Story
English magicians were once the wonder of the known world, with fairy servants at their beck and call; they could command winds, mountains, and woods. But by the early 1800s they have long since lost the ability to perform magic. They can only write long, dull papers about it, while fairy servants are nothing but a fading memory.

Story
The year is 1806. 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 antithesis of Norrell.

Story
Following the enormous success of 2004 bestseller and critics' favorite Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell, Susanna Clarke delivers a delicious collection of ten stories set in the same fairy-crossed world of 19th-century England. With Clarke's characteristic historical detail and diction, these dark, enchanting tales unfold in a slightly distorted version of our own world, where people are bedeviled by mischievous interventions from the fairies.

Story
At the dawn of the nineteenth century, two very different magicians emerge to change England's history. In the year 1806, with the Napoleonic Wars raging on land and sea, most people believe magic to be long dead in England—until the reclusive Mr Norrell reveals his powers, and becomes a celebrity overnight. Soon, another practicing magician comes forth: the young, handsome, and daring Jonathan Strange. He becomes Norrell's student, and they join forces in the war against France. But Strange is increasingly drawn to the wildest, most perilous forms of magic.

La casa de Piranesi no es un edificio cualquiera: sus habitaciones son monumentales, con paredes llenas de miles de estatuas, y sus pasillos, interminables. Dentro del dédalo de corredores hay un océano aprisionado en el que las olas retumban y las mareas inundan los aposentos.

Story
Nel mezzo delle guerre napoleoniche la magia è completamente scomparsa in Inghilterra finché il signor Norrell non rivela pubblicamente le sue abilità di mago fino ai salotti dell'alta società di Londra, dove mette i suoi poteri al servizio dei politici. E poi arriva il giovane e audace Jonathan Strange, che prima diventa il discepolo del signor Norrell e poi ne diventa acerrimo nemico. Nel corso degli anni, la battaglia fra i due si fa più accesa di quella dell'Inghilterra contro Napoleone.

Story
Susanna Clarke discusses her remarkable debut novel, the BookSense Book of the Year, Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell with her friend, novelist Neil Gaiman. Set in an alternate version of England in the early 1800s, an England in which the people yearn to recapture the practical magic of an earlier era, this fantasy novel combines the wit of Jane Austen with rollicking adventure and hilarious scholarly footnotes.

Story
Ein riesiges Gebäude, in dem sich endlos Räume aneinanderreihen, verbunden durch ein Labyrinth aus Korridoren und Treppen. An den Wänden stehen Tausende Statuen, das Erdgeschoss besteht aus einem Ozean, bei Flut donnern die Wellen die Treppenhäuser hinauf. In diesem Gebäude lebt Piranesi. Er hat sein Leben der Erforschung des Hauses gewidmet. Und je weiter er sich in die Zimmerfluchten vorwagt, desto näher kommt er der Wahrheit – der Wahrheit über die Welt jenseits des Gebäudes. Und der Wahrheit über sich selbst.

Story
Vor vielen Jahrhunderten gab es in England noch Magie. Jetzt, zu Beginn des 19. Jahrhunderts, glaubt niemand mehr an wirkliche Zauberei. Bis der zurückgezogen lebende Mr. Norrell auftaucht und die Statuen der Kathedrale von York sprechen und tanzen lässt. Die Nachricht über dieses Ereignis verbreitet sich, und Mr. Norrell geht nach London. Er nimmt den brillanten jungen Zauberer Jonathan Strange als Schüler auf und begründet mit ihm eine neue Tradition englischer Magie.

Story
Tras las verdes colinas y los bosques silenciosos se ocultan confines misteriosos, más allá de los cuales la realidad se pliega en formas mágicas y llenas de peligros. Los protagonistas tienen que vérselas con seres traviesos y maliciosos que se divierten alterando el sentido y el orden de las cosas. En estos ocho relatos, los magos y las hadas se entrometen en las vidas absolutamente anodinas de párrocos locales y princesas engreídas, así como en el destino de figuras históricas como María Estuardo, reina de Escocia, o el duque de Wellington.
