Notă biografică

George MacDonald (1824-1905) was a Scottish author, poet, and Christian minister whose fairy tales and fantasy novels had a profound influence on later generations of writers. His imaginative works-including The Princess and the Goblin, At the Back of the North Wind, and Phantastes-combined rich storytelling with symbolism and moral reflection. MacDonald's writings helped lay the foundations of modern fantasy literature and inspired authors such as C. S. Lewis, J. R. R. Tolkien, and G. K. Chesterton.

Descriere

Descriere de la o altă ediție sau format:

Introduction by C. S. Lewis

In October 1857, George MacDonald wrote what he described as “a kind of fairy tale, in the hope that it will pay me better than the more evidently serious work.” This was Phantastes -- one of MacDonald’s most important works; a work which so overwhelmed C. S. Lewis that a few hours after he began reading it he knew he “had crossed a great frontier.”

The book is about the narrator’s (Anodos) dream-like adventures in fairyland, where he confronts tree-spirits and the shadow, sojourns to the palace of the fairy queen, and searches for the spirit of the earth. The tale is vintage MacDonald, conveying a profound sadness and a poignant longing for death.
