Autorenporträt

George MacDonald (1824-1905) was a pioneering figure in the field of fantasy literature and a mentor to fellow writer Lewis Carroll. His impact on later writers, such as C.S. Lewis, who considered him a spiritual master, is widely acknowledged within the realm of literary scholarship. Born in Aberdeenshire, Scotland, MacDonald attended Aberdeen University and King's College, pursuing a path in Christian ministry before shifting his focus to literature. His early work was received with mixed reviews, yet he steadily gained a sympathetic audience for his novels and fairy tales. MacDonald's writing often wove together the fantastical with the spiritual, blurring the lines between reality and imagination, which has led to his recognition as a father of the modern fantasy genre. 'The Seaboard Parish, Complete' is one of his realistic novels and a sequel to 'Annals of a Quiet Neighbourhood.' It continues the tale of a clergyman named Walton, leading his family through trials and spiritual growth whilst beside the sea. With its pastoral and contemplative narrative, the novel exemplifies MacDonald's literary style, which is characterized by a deep-rooted sense of morality, imagination, and profound understanding of human nature. MacDonald's influence lingered beyond his life span, affecting the development of twentieth-century fantasy literature and resonating with audiences seeking a blend of the spiritual and the fantastic.
