George MacDonald was a Scottish writer who lived in the period 1824-1905. He is considered to be the father of modern fantasy writing as he was one of the pioneers who introduced fantasy as a literature genre. Some of his works depict the Scottish life while others are narrowly connected with Christianity and people's faith in God. George MacDonald influenced many famous authors such as Lewis Carroll, who he was a mentor of, Mark Twain, J. R. R. Tolkien and many others, who all share the belief that MacDonald's works have changed their lives and perceptions.
George Macdonald
Né en Écosse en **1824**, **George MacDonald** fut d’abord pasteur protestant avant de se consacrer à l’écriture, après avoir été rejeté par sa congrégation pour ses idées religieuses jugées trop audacieuses. Considéré comme l’un des pères de la fantasy moderne, il a marqué la littérature par des œuvres comme *Phantastes* (1858) et *Lilith* (1895), mêlant onirisme, spiritualité et quête existentielle. Son influence sur des auteurs comme C.S. Lewis et J.R.R. Tolkien est aujourd’hui reconnue comme majeure, bien que son succès commercial de son vivant ait été limité. MacDonald est mort en **1905**, laissant une œuvre qui continue d’inspirer les amateurs de récits fantastiques et philosophiques.
