Autorenporträt
George MacDonald (1824–1905) was a pioneering figure in the field 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 initially pursued a career in the clergy before turning to literature. His unique blend of fairy-tale fantasy and Christian allegory distinguishes his work from that of his peers. MacDonald's literary style combines the narrative depth of the novel with a poetic sensibility, often incorporating themes of redemption and faith. 'What's Mine's Mine' (1886) is one example of his extensive body of work, which includes fantasy classics such as 'Phantastes' (1858) and 'The Princess and the Goblin' (1872). These narratives not only entertain but also explore profound philosophical and spiritual questions. As a forerunner of modern fantasy, MacDonald's work is particularly notable for its vivid imagination and profound moral insight. His legacy is reflected in the respect and admiration of later literary giants who considered him a major influence on their own writings.
