Magic Summary: "The Night Circus" invites you into a world where a mysterious and magical competition unfolds within the confines of a fantastical black-and-white circus. Le Cirque des Rêves appears without warning, bringing with it illusions, wonders, and a rivalry between two talented young magicians, Celia and Marco. As they weave their enchantments, the circus becomes a stage for a game neither fully understands, with stakes higher than the tightrope walkers' ambitions. Pros: I don't even know where to begin with this one. At first I found it slow and the shifting timeline really got on my nerves but at the same time the descriptions of the circus were so wonderful that I kept going. Eventually I started to become a little uncomfortable with the sinister undertone and annoyed that I couldn't really understand the details of the competition. It bugged me that I was never quite sure who was good and who was bad. But then something changed and I was completely sucked into the whole thing. I couldn't put the book down and I've been constantly thinking about it since I finished. I'm still not sure that I liked the book, but I'm quite sure that it was worth reading and that I'd like to attend this circus someday. I'm not totally happy with how things ended. Some of that seemed out of left field but overall quite an amazing novel.
Morgenstern’s wonderful novel is made all the more enchanting by top-notch narration from the incomparable Jim Dale. I am a reader who should have hated this novel; yet I found it enchanting, and affecting, too, in spite of its sentimental ending. Morgenstern's patient, lucid construction of her circus – of its creators and performers and followers – makes for a world of illusion more real than that of many a realist fiction. There is a matter-of-factness about the magicians' magic, a consistency about the parameters of the circus world, that succeeds both in itself and as a comment upon the need for and nature of illusion in general. While the novel's occasional philosophical gestures seem glib ("You are no longer quite certain which side of the fence is the dream"), the book enacts its worldview more satisfyingly than could any summary or statement. Rather than forcing its readers to be prisoners in someone else's imagination, Morgenstern's imaginary circus invites readers to join in an exploration of the possible. Underneath the icy polish of her prose, Morgenstern well understands what makes The Night Circus tick: that Marco and Celia, whether in competition or in love, are part of a wider world they must engage with but also transcend. It’s a world whose mystique and enigma is hard to shake off, and that invites multiple visits. The Night Circus is one of those books. One of those rare, wonderful, transcendent books that, upon finishing, you want to immediately start again. The book itself looks beautiful but creaky plotting and lifeless characters leave The Night Circus less than enchanting Pertence à série publicadaPrêmiosDistinctionsNotable Lists
Waging a fierce competition for which they have trained since childhood, circus magicians Celia and Marco unexpectedly fall in love with each other and share a fantastical romance that manifests in fateful ways. Não foram encontradas descrições de bibliotecas. |
