| Résumé : |
The Chronicles of Narnia is a series layered with symbolism, and each classic book by C. S. Lewis reveals deeper meanings when read time and again from youth to adulthood. Some allegories, such as the Christ-like death and resurrection of Aslan the lion, are easily interpreted, while other dual messages remain largely undiscovered.
Where does the name “Aslan” come from? What other Bible references do the Chronicles contain? Why is there a huge bird, watching Digory Kirk in The Magicians Nephew? How does Lewis express his feelings about prunes, of all things, in Prince Caspian? Do names like “Puddleglum” and “Emeth” have any real significance? The Keys to the Chronicles unlocks the delightfully rich meanings within the world of Narnia, from the literary and mythological to the biblical and biographical. |
