Bloomsbury presents Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell by Susanna Clarke, read by Simon Prebble.
Over 4 million copies sold worldwide.
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.
So begins a dangerous battle between these two great men which overwhelms that 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.
Kritikerstimmen
"Unquestionably the finest English novel of the fantastic written in the last seventy years...Funny, moving, scary, otherworldly, practical and magical." (Neil Gaiman)

Geschichte
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.

Geschichte
After forming a coalition of human resistance against the enemy invasion, Dalinar Kholin and his Knights Radiant have spent a year fighting a protracted, brutal war. Neither side has gained an advantage, and the threat of a betrayal by Dalinar’s crafty ally Taravangian looms over every strategic move. Now, as new technological discoveries by Navani Kholin’s scholars begin to change the face of the war, the enemy prepares a bold and dangerous operation. The arms race that follows will challenge the very core of the Radiant ideals.

Geschichte
The story of Troy speaks to all of us - the kidnapping of Helen, a queen celebrated for her beauty, sees the Greeks launch a thousand ships against the city of Troy, to which they will lay siege for 10 whole and very bloody years. It is Zeus, the king of the gods, who triggers the war when he asks the Trojan prince Paris to judge the fairest goddess of them all. Aphrodite bribes Paris with the heart of Helen, wife of King Menelaus of the Greeks, and naturally, nature takes its course.

Geschichte
In the lands of Bethel, where the Prophet's word is law, Immanuelle Moore's very existence is blasphemy. Her mother's union with an outsider of a different race cast her once-proud family into disgrace, so Immanuelle does her best to worship the Father, follow Holy Protocol, and lead a life of submission, devotion, and absolute conformity, like all the other women in the settlement. But a mishap lures her into the forbidden Darkwood surrounding Bethel, where the first prophet once chased and killed four powerful witches.

Great story, poor quality
A fantastic story, a great narrator. However, the audio quality is very poor. Although I set the quality to high, the sound was muffled like a 56kbit MP3.

Geschichte vielleicht gut, Hörbuch grottenschlecht
Ob die Story wirklich gut ist, kann ich gar nicht beurteilen, da ich hier das erste Mal nach 1h abgebrochen habe, und selbst die waren mehr von Hoffnung geprägt als von Zuhör-Lust.
Der Klang, die Aufnahme, das Hörerlebnis sind so schlecht, man kann kaum was hören, muss maximal laut machen, trotzdem kaum zu verstehen. Es klingt wie eine schlechte Schellack-Aufnahme.
Schade, denn ich glaube der Roman selber ist gar nicht so schlecht.

Slow, peculiar, fascinating
First up: Yes, the audio quality is bad - which is a shame, because the performance of the reader is quite superb. Should such a thing bother you, don't buy the book. However, you'd miss out on a unique and interesting fantasy novel. The story might start out quiet slow, but have patience, it'll all be worth it.

Mediocre Adult Fantasy for the Patient Reader
This is not a “Harry Potter” for adults, nor is it an “alternative history” novel, it is fantasy of its own kind, but with very brittle charm. Overall Susanna Clarke does not make it easy for you to warm to the novel’s main characters. For me it is still hard to understand, how and why this novel received the prestigious “Nebula Award”.
Some readers might find beauty and entertainment somewhere in this lengthy meandering story, but it is a challenge:
1) It is not really adult fantasy, because the characters appear to be infantile and simple minded and devoid of real emotions
2) There is no real story line, it is a compilation of events with endless deviations and sidelines. Of course the story is spiced with a multitude of great and funny scenes and pictures, but somehow Susanna Clarke does not manage to weave them into a gripping narrative, in general the reader just gets bored and wants to get to the end of it.
3) The prose intends to reflect the language of the 19th century, but after a while, this effort is rather annoying, because it is simply too clumsy. To compare Susanna Clarke’s style to one of the great authors, as some of the reviews do, is just embarrassing.
4) Fantasy gets away with a lot and everything is possible, but there has to be some logic and consistency. In Susanna Clarke’s world the wizards can do the most incredible things, they move cities and rivers, let stone figures talk and revive the dead, but fail to do the most obvious and simplest things.
Without giving away too much, the main story line is as follows:
The great wizard, Mr. Norrell of Hurtfew Abbey, wants to bring magic back to England. He moves to London and takes the young and rich Jonathan Strange as a pupil. Together they entertain England with incredible, but mostly useless deeds of magic and wizardry. While Mr.Norrell prefers the study of books to actual magic, Jonathan Strange wants to help England and its people, he wants to do useful magic. Their initial friendship falters and turns into animosity gradually. This leads to some rather unpleasant consequences for their private lives and the repercussions even affect the country itself.
It is a long book and if you have the time and patience, you might get some entertainment out of it. I admit, I struggled with it.

Too cumbersome for an audio book
Was genau hat Sie an Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell enttäuscht?
It is too complicated to follow it up as an audio book. For example, the list of names is quite long and it is difficult to follow who is who. It includes the reading of footnotes, which I found as a rythm-breaker, an "interruptus" short to speak. I am sure it works better as a normal book.

Nette Geschichte, aber etwas langatmig
Haben Sie die Zeit genossen, in der Sie dieses Hörbuch gehört haben? Warum oder warum nicht?
Teilweise ja, teilweise aber auch nicht. Generell gefällt mir die Geschichte sehr gut, allerdings ist das Buch teilweise sehr langatmig und verliert sich in Nebenschauplätzen. Das mindert den Spaß am Hörbuch erheblich.
Wie hat Ihnen Simon Prebble als Sprecher gefallen? Warum?
Sehr gut, seine Stimme passt perfekt zum Erzähler.
