Winner of the 2021 Women's Prize for Fiction A SUNDAY TIMES & NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER The spectacular new novel from the bestselling author of JONATHAN STRANGE & MR NORRELL, 'one of our greatest living authors' NEW YORK MAGAZINE __________________________________ 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. Messages begin to appear, scratched out in chalk on the pavements. There is someone new in the House. But who are they and what do they want? Are they a friend or do they bring destruction and madness as the Other claims? Lost texts must be found; secrets must be uncovered. The world that Piranesi thought he knew is becoming strange and dangerous. The Beauty of the House is immeasurable; its Kindness infinite. __________________________________ 'What a world Susanna Clarke conjures into being ...

La Terra dels Follets no està tan lluny com ens imaginem. A vegades, només cal creuar una línia invisible per descobrir que haurem d’enfrontar-nos amb princeses cregudes, mussols rancorosos i dames que broden maleficis; o amb fosques sendes interminables i mansions que mai se’ns apareixen amb el mateix aspecte. Barrejant la fina comèdia social victoriana amb temes clàssics del folklore britànic, i el rigor històric amb una desbordant i fèrtil imaginació, Susanna Clarke ens transporta a un món singular i inesperat, l’atmosfera del qual posseeix el sabor fascinant i alhora veraç dels somnis. Una col·lecció fascinant de deu històries situades al món fantàstic de l’Anglaterra del segle XIX de Jonathan Strange i el senyor Norrell.

A prática da magia foi considerada extinta da Inglaterra desde os tempos medievais do Rei Corvo. Em 1806, aqueles que se intitulam magos são apenas estudiosos da história da magia. Mas, um dia, dois desses magos teóricos resolvem investigar os motivos do desaparecimento da magia. E assim conhecem Mr. Norrell, um mago recluso que desafia a todos ao mostrar seus poderes. Para provar que a magia ainda existe, Mr. Norrell reúne os magos teóricos na catedral de York e faz com que as estátuas de pedra comecem a falar. Em troca de seu ato, exige a imediata dissolução da Sociedade de Magos. Agora com fama e poder, ele abandona a reclusão e vai para Londres, onde colabora com o governo no combate a Napoleão Bonaparte. Começa então a colocar em prática seu plano secreto de controlar a magia na Inglaterra. Tudo vai bem, até o momento em que seu discípulo, o arrogante e impetuoso Jonathan Strange, resolve se rebelar contra a visão restrita de Norrell sobre o lugar destinado à magia. Strange decide seguir seu próprio rumo como mago e resgatar os poderes do lendário Rei Corvo, mas acaba colocando em risco a si próprio, aos que o cercam e à toda a Inglaterra.
