George MacDonald

Autor: Clive Staples Lewis

Número de Páginas: 122

George MacDonald (1824-1905) fue un escritor escocés poco conocido incluso hoy en día, pero sus obras fueron muy admiradas por escritores como Tolkien y Lewis, quien llegó a considerarlo un genio y, sobre todo, su maestro. Al elaborar estos 365 extractos, en especial de sus Unspoken Sermons, Lewis busca antes al profesor cristiano, al sobresaliente predicador, que al escritor. Lo publicamos en último lugar en esta Biblioteca del autor, pues, según escribe en el prólogo, "no me ha parecido que quienes han recibido amablemente mis libros sepan suficientemente, incluso ahora, hasta dónde llega esa afiliación".

El peso de la gloria

Autor: Clive Staples Lewis

Número de Páginas: 118

Este volumen recoge nueve sermones del autor, proclamados en su mayor parte en Oxford durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial y en los años inmediatamente posteriores. Salvo el primero, que da título al volumen, siguen un orden cronológico, y fueron publicados por primera vez en 1949. Todos ellos se compusieron en respuesta a peticiones personales y para audiencias concretas, y el autor prefirió respetar su tono original, sin modificación alguna. Conservan, por tanto, la fuerza y energía del momento en que fueron pronunciados.

Autor: C.s. Lewis , George Macdonald

Número de Páginas: 203

George MacDonald (1824—1905) foi um gigante intelectual e pioneiro da literatura fantástica moderna. Seus textos influenciaram grandes nomes do final do século XIX e início do século XX, como J.R.R. Tolkien, G.K. Chesterton, Lewis Carroll, W.H. Auden e, claro, C.S. Lewis, que o considerava o seu grande mestre. Lewis, aliás, declarou que tudo o que escreveu foi influenciado por George MacDonald. De acordo com o próprio Lewis, "dificilmente exista qualquer outro escritor que pareça estar mais próximo, ou mais próximo sem cessar, do próprio Espírito de Cristo". Assinando o prefácio e selecionando os textos mais marcantes de MacDonald, Lewis nos apresenta esses tesouros extraordinários na forma de uma antologia com 365 reflexões diárias. Variando de "Amor inexorável" a "O tormento da morte", os escritos de MacDonald serviram de instrução e inspiração para o autor que dá nome a esta coleção, e continuam a inspirar ainda hoje.

C.S. Lewis Called Him Master

Autor: Charles Seper

Número de Páginas: 0

Many readers come to George MacDonald's fantasy literature by way of C.S. Lewis who lauded him as, "my master", or G.K. Chesterton who referred to him as one of the three or four greatest men of the 19th century. However, MacDonald's stories are so complex, so full of twofold meanings, symbolical, metaphorical, and parabolic that many, if not most, readers find themselves perplexed after first coming upon him. "C.S. Lewis Called Him Master" attempts to explain the obscurity behind many of the passages in MacDonald's only two fantasies written for adults, "Lilith", and "Phantastes", while also providing the reader with a brief, but adequate, examination of George MacDonald's life and work. Also contained therein are several rare photos of the MacDonald family, many of them taken by fellow author and family friend Lewis Carroll. "C.S. Lewis Called Him Master" is an essential biography and study aid for students of George MacDonald's most intense works.
