Acerca del autor

George MacDonald (1824–1905) was a pioneering figure in the field of fantasy literature and a mentor to fellow writer Lewis Carroll. His work, notable for its spiritual symbolism and powerful use of myth, laid the groundwork for later fantasy authors such as J.R.R. Tolkien and C.S. Lewis, who considered him an important influence on their own literary endeavors. MacDonald's profound spirituality and innovative narrative techniques as an ordained minister are evident in his fiction and poetry. His novel 'Alec Forbes of Howglen' (1865) mirrors the narrative depth found in his better-known works such as 'Phantastes' (1858) and 'The Princess and the Goblin' (1872). 'Alec Forbes of Howglen' showcases MacDonald's adeptness in exploring themes of redemption, friendship, and the struggle between good and evil, set within the pastoral tapestry of Scottish life. His literary style weaves together realism and fantasy, imbuing his stories with a timeless moral and ethical dimension. MacDonald's profound impact on Victorian literature cannot be overstated; his stories continue to captivate readers with their blend of whimsy and wisdom, giving him an enduring place in the canon of English literature.
