C. S. Lewis

Clive Staples Lewis was a critic, academic, and English novelist, considered one of the finest writers of children's and young adult literature in English. A friend and colleague of Tolkien, both had a sharp intellect, a solid education, and a passion for Norse mythology that would mark their major works: the Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings, in Tolkien, and The Chronicles of Narnia (1950), in CS Lewis. With Narnia, a fantastic and allegorical work about the eternal struggle between good and evil, Lewis inaugurated a genre that would make him a founder and an essential reference in current fantasy narrative.
