Autorenporträt

George MacDonald (1824–1905), a pioneering figure in the field of fantasy literature and a mentor to fellow writer Lewis Carroll, was a Scottish author, poet, and Christian minister. His literary style weaves together elements of fantasy, Christianity, and mythology with a rare gentleness and a pervasive sense of wonder, which has captivated readers for generations. MacDonald's influence on later authors such as C.S. Lewis and J.R.R. Tolkien has been considerable, with Lewis referring to MacDonald as his 'master' in the preface to 'George MacDonald: An Anthology.' MacDonald's extensive work comprises fantastical tales like 'Phantastes' and 'Lilith' as well as realistic novels, including 'David Elginbrod' and 'The Marquis of Lossie.' His 'Unspoken Sermons, Series I., II., and III.' are among his most significant religious writings and reflect his unorthodox views on theology, which often ran counter to the prevailing doctrines of his time. These sermons reveal the depth of MacDonald's spiritual insight and his rejection of any form of punishment-based theology. His works remain a testament to his imaginative power and his dedication to blending spiritual and aesthetic concerns within his unique narrative vision.
