Autorenporträt
George MacDonald (1824-1905) was a pioneering figure in the field of fantasy literature and a mentor to fellow writer Lewis Carroll. One of MacDonald's significant contributions was the profound impact he had on C.S. Lewis, with the latter referring to MacDonald as his 'master'. Espousing a Christian universalist theology, MacDonald's work often wove together the deep spiritual concerns and a fervent imagination. His literary style melds fairy tale elements with rich allegorical threads and deep moral and spiritual insights, capturing the hearts and minds of readers across generations. MacDonald's oeuvre spanned different genres including fantasy, children's literature, sermons, and novels addressing theological and social issues of his time. The trilogy comprising 'The Curate's Awakening', 'The Lady's Confession', and 'The Baron's Apprenticeship' comprises a series of spiritual novels that showcase MacDonald's adept use of narrative to explore profound existential questions and showcase his characters' psychological and spiritual development. Each book in the series was not only a compelling work in its own right but also contributed to the enduring legacy of a man regarded by many as the grandfather of modern fantasy literature. More than just stories, these books are considered MacDonald's medium for exploring the complexities of faith and the nature of redemption and forgiveness, themes that recur throughout his extensive literary career.
