關於作者
George MacDonald (1824-1905), a pioneering figure in the field of fantasy literature and a mentor to fellow writer Lewis Carroll, is best known for his allegorical fairy tales and novels. Born in Huntly, Aberdeenshire, Scotland, he graduated from the University of Aberdeen with a degree in chemistry and theology. MacDonald was a Christian minister, but his unorthodox views led him to focus on his writing and lecturing career. His literary style combines elements of fantasy with deep spiritual and moral questions, often exploring the relationship between God and humanity. MacDonald's work, 'Lilith' (1895), is a dark fantasy novel about the eponymous female figure derived from Jewish mythology. It is regarded by many as a precursor to the modern fantasy genre and highlights his profound storytelling abilities and his skill in mythopoesis. MacDonald's impact on literature is found in his ability to weave complex narratives that resonate with themes of redemption and the ultimate triumph of good over evil. His influence extended to many other writers, including C.S. Lewis, who considered MacDonald his master, and J.R.R. Tolkien, who found inspiration in MacDonald's mythic themes and motifs. MacDonald's body of work remains a testament to his imagination, theological insight, and narrative skill.
