ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

“Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell” by Susanna Clarke is a historical fantasy set in 19th-century England, where magic is thought to have vanished. Mr. Norrell, the first practicing magician in centuries, aims to revive English magic, but his methods clash with Jonathan Strange, a young, ambitious magician. Their rivalry grows as Strange seeks to explore more dangerous and unconventional magic, including dealings with the mysterious Faerie realm. The novel delves into themes of ambition, control, and the consequences of seeking forbidden knowledge, blending magic with historical events in a richly detailed narrative.
