▾LibraryThing Anbefalinger  74 10 Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell af Susanna Clarke (historycycles, 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.… (mere) 32 1 Ondt er da på vej herned af Ray Bradbury (JGKC) 22 0 The Prestige af Christopher Priest (shelfoflisa, 47degreesnorth)shelfoflisa: Another tale of duelling victorian magicians 39 21 Vand til elefanterne af Sara Gruen (Oryan685) 17 2 Neverwhere : en rejse på Undersiden af Neil Gaiman (Larkken)Larkken: Each detail a dreamlike world overlapping but hidden from the real world to most people. 21 11 Den tidsrejsendes kvinde af Audrey Niffenegger (LDVoorberg)LDVoorberg: Fantasy with enough reality to make it seem plausible 15 7 The Magicians af Lev Grossman (Anonym bruger) 7 1 Little, Big af John Crowley (ktbarnes)ktbarnes: Both have magical realism, with a fairytale feel 5 0 Od Magic af Patricia A.

Wish I could describe it better, but I can't. Both of these books just FEEL the same. 6 4 Winter's Tale af Mark Helprin (TomWaitsTables) 2 0 Mr Vertigo af Paul Auster (tandah) 1 0 The Gracekeepers af Kirsty Logan (vwinsloe)vwinsloe: Everyone loves a fantastical circus. 2 1 Strange the Dreamer af Laini Taylor (LongDogMom)LongDogMom: Beautiful type of fairy tale 2 1 Daughter of Smoke & Bone af Laini Taylor (tralliott) 1 0 When the Moon Was Ours: A Novel af Anna-Marie McLemore (kgriffith)kgriffith: Magical realism, beautiful prose, setting as a character/catalyst 1 0 Vassa in the Night af Sarah Porter (mzonderm) 0 0 Vindens skygge af Carlos Ruiz Zafón (Kata18)Kata18: Both books feel a little like a dream with a touch of magic that's not quite explained.

Oplysninger fra den engelske Almen Viden Redigér teksten, så den bliver dansk. Follow your dreams, Bailey, she says. Be they Harvard or something else entirely. No matter what that father of yours says, or how loudly he might say it. He forgets that he was someone's dream once himself.  Children are dragged away with promises that they may return the next evening, though the circus will not be there the next evening and later those children will feel slighted and betrayed.  You are no longer quite certain which side of the fence is the dream.  I do not like being left in the dark. I am not particularly fond of believing in impossible things.  You're not destined or chosen, I wish I could tell you that you were if that would make it easier, but it's not true. You're in the right place at the right time, and you care enough to do what needs to be done. Sometimes that's enough.  I find I think of myself not as a writer so much as someone who provides a gateway, a tangential route for readers to reach the circus. To visit the circus again, if only in their minds, when they are unable to attend it physically. I relay it through printed words on crumpled newsprint, words that they can read again and again, returning to the circus whenever they wish, regardless of time of day or physical location. Transporting them at will. When put that way, it sounds rather like magic, doesn't it?  The truest tales require time and familiarity to become what they are.  | |

It's a unique world where I would love to be one of those people wearing a red scarf !
It gave me goosebumps more then I wish to admit.
Definitely the best circus around. (
