Ce recueil de nouvelles de Susanna Clarke regroupe des histoires de fées et de magie. Autant avec son roman Jonathan Strange et Mr Norrell, l'autrice avait réussi à développer un univers et une intrigue intéressante et prenante, autant le format court des nouvelles ne lui permet pas d'en faire de même, réduisant ainsi fortement leur intérêt. On est donc face à une œuvre très mineure de Susanna Clarke, espérant qu'elle parviendra avec son second roman à retrouver son savoir-faire déployé dans Jonathan Strange et Mr Norrell. ( )
In the end, Ladies of Grace weaves a similar magic as Jonathan Strange, but perhaps the book is not magical enough. the stories in The Ladies of Grace Adieu are consistently subtle and enchanting, and as charismatic as any reader could wish, but, while the collection has the panache of [Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell], it lacks its glorious self-possession. The stories feel a little adrift, a little raw, occasionally too neat; they're not the natural heirs to the magnum opus. But then, how could they be, and why should they be? A short fiction collection is a different beast to a novel, and is bound to work on its readers in entirely different ways. They are uniformly clever and meticulously composed, knowledgeable of folk traditions while giving them a modern spin. Whether it takes 10 months or 10 years to produce her next full-length work, Susanna Clarke is a better writer than this showcase would have you believe. Devotees and completist fans of Strange and Norrell will want to get their hands on this book, but the rest will probably want to wait. "Mr. Simonelli or the Fairy Widower" is the most authentically creepy story here. A tale of a fairy who kidnaps young women and consigns them to the direst conditions imaginable, it wanders into Stephen King territory, though without the overt gore. "John Uskglass and the Cambrian Charcoal Burner" is a perfectly constructed fable with a witty, judicious outcome.

HTML: Following the enormous success of 2004 bestseller and critics' favorite Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell, Susanna Clarke delivers a delicious collection of ten stories set in the same fairy-crossed world of 19th-century England. With Clarke's characteristic historical detail and diction, these dark, enchanting tales unfold in a slightly distorted version of our own world, where people are bedeviled by mischievous interventions from the fairies. With appearances from beloved characters from her novel, including Jonathan Strange and Childermass, and an entirely new spin on certain historical figures, including Mary, Queen of Scots, this is a must-have for fans of Susanna Clarke and an enticing introduction to her work for new listeners. .Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |
