About the book (from the dust jacket) "Do you think I am trying to weave a spell? Perhaps I am; but remember your fairy tales. Spells are used for breaking enchantments as well as for inducing them. _C.S. Lewis, "The Weight of Glory" C. S. Lewis imbued The Chronicles of Narnia with a very special magic: opening any volume in the series, the reader is instantly transported to realms of adventure, delight, wisdom, and grace, Throughout these books, Lewis weaves spells that beguile or unbind the senses, so that we see the world of Narnia as someplace real and see, at the same time, the real world with fresh understanding. Now this monumental, illustrated Companion to the world-famous Narnia stories of C. S. Lewis-containing hundreds of indexed entries- is an indispensable handbook for all explorers of Narnia, Archenland, Underland, Calormen, and the other lands washed by enchanted seas, From Aslan, the Great Lion of Narnia, to Zardeenab, the mysterious lady of the night, here are all the characters, events, places, and themes of Lewis's beloved Chronicles of Narnia. The Monopods, Northern Giants, Telmarines, Hollies, Dufflepuds, and Naiads who inhabit these wondrous realms are included, as are all geographical points from the Shuddering Wood to the Last Sea. Companion to Narnia omits no character: Prince Caspian, Lucy, Rilian, Reepicheep, the White Witch, Edmund, Susan, Puddleglum, Glenstorm, and Glimfeather- all are listed and defined in terms of their history, role, and significance Beginning anywhere-with a character, an object, an overview, a theme-readers can pursue a thread of inquiry as far as they wish with this simple-to-use, comprehensive system of cross-references. No matter how familiar you may be with the saga of Narnia, this magical Companion will lead you to a fuller understanding and appreciation of the treasures-- hidden as well as overt-enriching these now-classic tales. Paul Ford brings careful scholarship and contagious enthusiasm to his research. He examines classical, scriptural, and literary references; unearths the origins of crucial terms and concepts; and provides insight into the symbolic and thematic threads that amplify and unify the series. Ford is also able to shed light on the influence of events in C. S. Lewis's life upon the composition of the Chronicles- for example, the curious matter of the "disappearance" of the Dark Island in the differing British and American editions of Voyage of the Dawn Treader. The thoughtful, informative, lively entries invite casual perusal while affording the serious student a refreshing and satisfying key to what has been termed "the allusive subtext" of the seven books-that valuable substrata of psychological, philosophical, and spiritual ideas that inform and enhance these stories. This one-of-a-kind compendium includes twenty full-page illustrations by Lorinda Bryan Cauley and a warmly perceptive Foreword by Madeleine L'Engle. No one, young or old, first-time visitor or old friend returning to Narnia, could ask for a more delightful and instructive Companion along the way. About the author (from the dust jacket) Paul F, Ford teaches New Testament Spirituality at Fuller Theological Seminary and has been a student of the life and writings of C. S. Lewis for over sixteen years. He is also theological consultant at Franciscan Communications in Los Angeles and editor of The Good Word. He is Founder of the Southern California C. S. Lewis Society. He makes his home in Arcadia, California. N° de réf. du vendeur 15692
