Autorenporträt

George MacDonald (1824-1905) was a pioneer of fantasy literature and a mentor to fellow writer Lewis Carroll. His influence extends to the works of W.H. Auden and J.R.R. Tolkien, among others. Born in Aberdeenshire, Scotland, MacDonald attended Aberdeen University and Highbury Theological College, before pursuing a career as a minister and later a lecturer. His literary output is vast, encompassing fables, fantasy tales, sermons, and poetry. MacDonald's genius resonates in his ability to interweave ethereal fantasy with moral and spiritual depth. His work often grapples with themes of profound religious conviction and reflective questioning. 'MALCOLM & THE MARQUIS'S SECRET: Complete Marquise of Lossie Collection (Adventure Classic)' is one of his notable works that displays his adeptness at storytelling with a touch of whimsy and a deep moral undertone. MacDonald's contributions to literature have earned him a lasting place in the canon of English literature as a writer who used fantastical elements to explore deeply human experiences and existential contemplations.
