CALYPSO - PHANTASTES ENCANTARIA

On his twenty-first birthday, Anodos discovers, in a desk inherited after his father's death, a fairy who introduces him to an enchanted world. Now, the young man needs to be part of the Land of Fairies and walk along trails that will lead him to discoveries, fights and to know himself and the forces that govern all worlds. With Phantastes, George MacDonald was one of the pioneers to write in the fantasy genre, inspiring several other works that would follow, such as The Chronicles of Narnia and The Lord of the Rings.

***George MacDonald was a Scottish Christian writer, poet and minister. He's considered one of the pioneers of modern fantasy and mentor to writer Lewis Carroll. In addition to fairy tales, MacDonald wrote several works on Christian theology, including several sermon collections. His fantasy works were a great inspiration for authors such as C. S. Lewis, W. H. Auden, L. Frank Baum, T.H. White, J. R. R. Tolkien, Madeleine L'Engle, G. K. Chesterton and Mark Twain.
