ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

Susanna Clarke's "Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell" presents an alternate 19th-century England where magic has faded into obscurity. The plot follows Mr. Norrell, a reclusive magician who seeks to revive English magic, and Jonathan Strange, his ambitious and innovative pupil.

As they navigate the political and social landscapes, their contrasting approaches to magic—Norrell's conservative tradition versus Strange's experimental exploration—create conflict. Strange delves into dangerous magic, especially regarding Faerie, leading to madness and imprisonment. Meanwhile, Childermass seeks the Raven King's book, holding secrets that threaten the magical order. The story explores the complex interplay between tradition and innovation, ambition, and the corrupting influence of power within the world of English magic.
