  • George MacDonald, född 10 december 1824, avliden 18 september 1905, var en skotsk författare, poet och präst. Även om han sannolikt inte längre är känd för gemene man, har hans verk (framförallt hans sagor och fantasyromaner) inspirerat åtskilliga kända författare efter honom, exempelvis J. R. R. Tolkien, W. H. Auden och Madeleine L'Engle. C. S. Lewis skrev att han såg MacDonald som sin ”läromästare”. Efter att en dag ha köpt ett exemplar av Phantastes på en järnvägsstation började han läsa; ”några timmar senare” sa Lewis, ”visste jag att jag hade korsat en betydelsefull gräns”. G.K. Chesterton refererar till Prinsessan och de underjordiska,, som en bok som "hade betydelse för hela min existens". Till och med Mark Twain, som till en början föraktade MacDonald, blev en av hans vänner, och det finns tecken som tyder på att även Twain lät sig influeras av honom (se länkarna nedan för artiklar om ämnet).

  • George MacDonald (10 de diciembre, 1824 – 18 de septiembre, 1905) fue un escritor y poeta escocés. A pesar de que no es hoy en día muy conocido, sus obras inspiraron profunda admiración en notables autores como W. H. Auden, J. R. R. Tolkien, y Madeleine L'Engle. C. S. Lewis escribió que MacDonald había sido su "maestro". Recogiendo una copia de Phantastes un día en una estación de trenes (presumiblemente de un puesto de libros en la estación), comenzó a leer; "unas pocas horas después", dijo Lewis, "supe que había cruzado una gran frontera".

  • Sebbene non particolarmente conosciuti, i suoi lavori (in particolare le sue fiabe e romanzi fantasy) hanno ispirato ed ammirato autori del calibro di W. H. Auden, J. R. R. Tolkien e Madeleine L'Engle. C. S. Lewis addirittura ha scritto di ritenere MacDonald come suo "maestro": un giorno, leggendo una copia di Phantastes in una stazione ferroviaria, Lewis pensò di aver «attraversato una grande frontiera». Chesterton citò La principessa e il Goblin come libro che «made a difference to my whole existence» («cambiò la mia esistenza»). Perfino Mark Twain, che inizialmente disprezzava MacDonald, diventò suo amico, e ci sono alcune prove che Mark Twain sarebbe stato influenzato da MacDonald. (it)
