Review:
The Chronicles of Narnia, by C.S. Lewis, is one of the very few sets of books that should be read three times: in childhood, early adulthood, and late in life. In brief, four children travel repeatedly to a world in which they are far more than mere children and everything is far more than it seems. Richly told, populated with fascinating characters, perfectly realized in detail of world and pacing of plot, and profoundly allegorical, the story is infused throughout with the timeless issues of good and evil, faith and hope. This boxed set edition includes all seven volumes.

Book Description Gift edition. 7 Teile in 1 Band. 4°. 523 S. mit farb. Illustrationen von Pauline (Diana) Baynes. Dunkelblauer OHldr. mit silbergepr. Rücken- u. Deckeltitel u. Silberschnitt in Orig.-Leinenschuber. Vgl. LKJ IV, 376. - Schön ausgestattete Gesamtausgabe aller 7 Teile. - "Religiösität und mittelalterliche allegorische Erzähltradition bilden auch den Hintergrund für die sieben Narnia-Bücher für Kinder. In dem ersten Buch der Reihe, "The lion, the witch and the wardrope" (1950) führt L. die Kinder Peter, Susan, Edmund und Lucy durch die sich öffnende Rückwand eines Kleiderschranks in das magische Reich Narnia, das von den Kräften des Bösen in Gestalt der weißen Hexe beherrscht wird, aber in der Hoffnung einer Prophezeiung auf Erlösung durch den Löwen Aslan lebt. Der Kampf zwischen den Mächten der Finsternis und denen des Lichtes wird bis zum letzten Band der Reihe, "The last battle" (1956) fortgesetzt. . L.s Bücher reflektieren nicht unmittelbar die soziale Realität, aber mit der Betonung von Tugenden wie Treue, Liebe, Vertrauen, Hingabe und Pflichterfüllung und mit ihrer allegorischen Realisierung in der auch nicht perfekten Wunschwelt von Narnia suggeriert L., daß diese Werthaltungen auf die reale Welt übertragbar bleiben müssen" (E. Breitinger in LKJ). - Die englische Illustratorin und Autorin P. D. Baynes (1922-2008) wurde mit ihren Illustrationen zu Tolkins "Farmer Giles of Ham" (1949) und zu Williams-Ellis "The Arabien Nights" (1957) bekannt. Sie hat über 100 Bücher ausgestattet. - Sehr gutes Exemplar. Sprache: englisch. Seller Inventory # 103197BB
