▾Informació de l'exemplar ▾Recomanacions de LibraryThing  ▾Recomanacions dels membres  40 1341 Stardust de Neil Gaiman (GreenVelvet, GreenVelvet, GreenVelvet)GreenVelvet: Both Stardust and Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell are detailed, well-written and riveting explorations of the world of fairie. 230 Little, Big de John Crowley (VisibleGhost)221 El circ de la nit de Erin Morgenstern (-Eva-, BookshelfMonstrosity)BookshelfMonstrosity: Magical rivalries are at the heart of these unconventional Fantasy novels, which play out over decades and against elaborate, atmospheric 19th-century backdrops. Their initially relaxed pacing gains momentum as the various narrative threads dramatically converge.… (més) 212 The Book of Lost Things de John Connolly (derelicious, jonathankws)182 The King of Elfland's Daughter de Lord Dunsany (billiecat)billiecat: Clarke's descriptions of Faerie share the dreamlike qualities of Dunsany's novel. 183 El Conte número tretze de Diane Setterfield (majkia)majkia: both books evoked the same sort of feeling for me. 216 L'Hereu de Gormenghast de Mervyn Peake (saltmanz)saltmanz: Both extrememly atmospheric books, with vivid visuals and memorable characters. 161 Lud-In-The-Mist de Hope Mirrlees (TheSpecialistsCat)TheSpecialistsCat: Both Clarke and Mirrlees lived briefly in Spain, then returned home to write about fairies and also, ostensibly, what it means to be English. 185 His Majesty's Dragon de Naomi Novik (Rodo)185 The Amulet of Samarkand de Jonathan Stroud (clif_hiker)131 Sorcery and Cecelia, or, The Enchanted Chocolate Pot de Patricia C. Wrede (fyrefly98)fyrefly98: Both have the same "Jane-Austen-meets-Harry-Potter" vibe to them; "Jonathan Strange" is denser and more grown-up, while "Sorcery & Cecelia" is funnier and more of a romp. 187 The Dark Is Rising de Susan Cooper (ErlendSkjelten)ErlendSkjelten: I don't remember making this recommendation, much less why I did; they are very different books. I think I felt that they both conjured up the same mystic mood, and they are both concerned with a very British magic. 100 Sorcerer to the Crown de Zen Cho (jen.e.moore)133 To Say Nothing of the Dog de Connie Willis (hiredman)123 L'home que fou dijous de G. K. Chesterton (flissp)60 Bitter Seeds de Ian Tregillis (Aerrin99)Aerrin99: Books which focus on a fascinating historical Britain, but with added fun like magicians and more. 126 The Prestige de Christopher Priest (Patangel)82 Swordspoint de Ellen Kushner (spiphany)60 El significat de la nit de Michael Cox (Usuari anònim)

At sixteen she spoke -- not only French, Italian & German -- which are part of any lady's commonplace accomplishments -- but all the languages of the civilized (and uncivilized) world. She spoke the language of the Scottish Highlands (which is like singing). She spoke Basque, which is a language which rarely makes any impression upon the brains of any other race, so that a man may hear it as often and as long as he likes, but never afterwards be able to recall a single syllable of it. She even learnt the language of a strange country which, Signor Tosetti had been told, some people believed still existed, although no one in the world could say where it was. (The name of the country was Wales.) It is also true that that his hair had a reddish tinge and, as everybody knows, no one with red hair can ever truly be said to be handsome. "Soldiers, I am sorry to say, steal everything." He thought for a moment and then added, "Or at least ours do." "Can a magician kill a man by magic?" Lord Wellington asked Strange. Strange frowned. He seemed to dislike the question. "I suppose a magician might," he admitted "but a gentleman never could." It may be laid down as a general rule that if a man begins to sing, no one will take any notice of his song except his fellow human beings. This is true even if his song is surpassingly beautiful. Other men may be in raptures at his skill, but the rest of creation is, by and large, unmoved. Perhaps a cat or a dog may look at him; his horse, if it is an exceptionally intelligent beast, may pause in cropping the grass, but that is the extent of it. But when the fairy sang, the whole world listened to him. Stephen felt clouds pause in their passing; he felt sleeping hills shift and murmur; he felt cold mists dance. He understood for the first time that the world is not dumb at all, but merely waiting for someone to speak to it in a language it understands. In the fairy's song the earth recognized the names by which it called itself. | |
