About This Item
United States: Bloomsbury, 2004. 1st Edition 1st Printing. Hardcover. New/New. Portia Rosenberg. Book is new, unread. There are three dark spots to the outer pages that seem to be part of the paper itself, otherwise clean. Signed in my presence by Clarke. The black and white American covers with red end-papers were printed simultaneously and are both true first editions. Later printings lack the red end-papers. The American edition precedes the British edition by three weeks. Winner of the 2005 Hugo awards for best novel as well as the World Fantasy Award and the Mythopoeic Fantasy Award.
Synopsis
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.
