Beschreibung

While trying to sleep, a young boy is startled by the North Wind, who chooses to bring him along as she travels throughout the night. The duo embark on eye-opening adventures that teach the child valuable life lessons. Diamond is a young boy who comes from a poor family. Despite his homelife, he maintains his innocence and chooses to embrace joy. One night when he's struggling to sleep, he encounters the sweeping presence of the North Wind. She enjoys the child's company and allows him to join her on her travels. During their journey, Diamond discovers the positive and negative effects of her presence. He realizes she can be a source of support but also do great harm. In At the Back of the North Wind, George MacDonald explores spiritual and moral conflict. It's infused with Christian themes including an allegory for Jesus Christ. The story addresses a complex topic using a simple narrative and stunning visuals.

Portrait

George MacDonald (1824 - 1905) was a Scottish author, poet and Christian minister. He was a pioneering figure in the field of fantasy literature and the mentor of fellow writer Lewis Carroll. His writings have been cited as a major literary influence by many notable authors. C. S. Lewis wrote that he regarded MacDonald as his "master": "Picking up a copy of Phantastes one day at a train-station bookstall, I began to read. A few hours later," said Lewis, "I knew that I had crossed a great frontier." G. K. Chesterton cited The Princess and the Goblin as a book that had "made a difference to my whole existence".
