Strange & mr Norrell. Сюзанна Кларк463 руб
A human child brought up by fairies, the Raven King blended fairy wisdom and human reason to create English magic. Centuries ago, when magic still existed in England, the greatest magician of them all was the Raven King. Then the reclusive Mr Norrell of Hurtfew Abbey appears and causes the statues of York Cathedral to speak and move. Now, at the beginning of the nineteenth century, he is barely more than a legend, and England, with its mad King and its dashing poets, no longer believes in practical magic. There he meets a brilliant young magician and takes him as a pupil. News spreads of the return of magic to England and, persuaded that he must help the government in the war against Napoleon, Mr Norrell goes to London. Together, they dazzle the country with their feats. Jonathan Strange is charming, rich and arrogant. Mr Norrell has never conquered his lifelong habits of secrecy, while Strange will always be attracted to the wildest, most perilous magic. But the partnership soon turns to rivalry. 2005. He becomes fascinated by the shadowy figure of the Raven King, and his heedless pursuit of long-forgotten magic threatens, not only his partnership with Norrell, but everything that he holds dear. |
