Phantastes de George Macdonald

Phantastes

Autor George Macdonald Ilustrat de Arthur Hughes, Zach Fink
en Limba Engleză Hardback – iun 2011
The classic fantasy that influenced C. S. Lewis and Tolkien, considered one of George MacDonald's most important works, is the story of the young man, Anodos, and his adventures in fairyland which ultimately reveal the human condition. "I write, not for children," wrote George MacDonald, "but for the child-like, whether they be of five, or fifty, or seventy-five." All-at-once written with an innocent whimsy and soulful yearning, the heart of Anodos' journey through fairyland reveals a spiritual quest that requires a surrender of the self. MacDonald's fantasy novel as well as his other works have had major influence on many authors who considered him their mentor:
C. S. Lewis said, "I have never concealed the fact that I regarded him as my master; indeed I fancy I have never written a book in which I did not quote from him."
J. R. R. Tolkien called his fairy tales "stories of power and beauty."
Madeleine L'Engle said, "Surely, George MacDonald is the grandfather of us all--all of us who struggle to come to terms with truth through fantasy."

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.

Notă biografică

George MacDonald (1824-1905) was a Scottish minister, poet, novelist, imaginative seer, and one of the most beloved Victorian authors throughout Great Britain and the United States in the nineteenth century. A pioneering writer of modern fantasy literature, he was the mentor of Lewis Carroll. He has been cited as a major literary influence by dozens of illustrious authors including David Lindsay, J. M. Barrie, Lord Dunsany, Mark Twain, Hope Mirrlees, G. K. Chesterton, Thomas Merton, Flannery O'Connor, George Orwell, Aldous Huxley, Ray Bradbury, C. S. Lewis, J. R. R. Tolkien, and Neil Gaiman. In his lifetime he authored some fifty volumes of novels, poetry, short stories, fantasy, sermons, and essays.
