Autoren-Porträt von George Macdonald
George MacDonald (1824-1905) was a pioneering figure in the field of fantasy literature and a mentor to fellow writer Lewis Carroll. His influence on later authors like C.S. Lewis, J.R.R. Tolkien, and Madeleine L'Engle is profoundly felt in the emphasis they place on the imaginative and moral dimensions of fantasy. Born in Aberdeenshire, Scotland, MacDonald pursued a career in the ministry after studying at the University of Aberdeen and Highbury College, London, but his unconventional views led him to focus on writing and lecturing. Macdonald's work ranges from realistic novels to poems and fairy tales, but all his narratives intertwine Christian symbolism and mystical elements. His novel 'St. George and St. Michael' is a quintessential example of his storytelling prowess-a compelling blend of romance, history, and spiritual conflict during the time of the English Civil War. MacDonald's fiction, typically imbued with themes of redemption, the power of love, and the defeat of evil, resonates with a deep moral core. His literary style, marked by rich imagination and a profound sense of compassion, has left a lasting legacy in the realm of literature and beyond.
