Sobre l'autor
George MacDonald (1824–1905) was a pioneering figure in the field of fantasy literature and a mentor to fellow writer Lewis Carroll. Born in Aberdeenshire, Scotland, MacDonald was initially trained as a clergyman but found his calling in writing. Although his literary contributions include poetry, fantasy stories, and Christian allegories, he is best known for his enchanting fairy tales and novels. MacDonald's work is characterized by its philosophical depth, imbued with a theology of universal salvation and a deep concern for spiritual growth and redemption, qualities vividly present in his works. As a forerunner in fantasy fiction, MacDonald's significant influence can be felt in the works of notable successors, such as C.S. Lewis, who considered him his 'master', and J.R.R. Tolkien. MacDonald's 'At the Back of the North Wind (Illustrated Edition)' intertwines the poignant story of a young boy, Diamond, with metaphysical musings and fairy tale elements, reflecting MacDonald's unique blend of childlike wonder and profound spiritual insights. His literary style combines a simple narrative suitable for children with complex underlying themes, intended to speak to the innermost hearts of readers of all ages. MacDonald's legacy as a writer and thinker continues to inspire contemporary audiences, showcasing the enduring power of his imaginative and allegorical storytelling.
