Jaa ... Ik denk dat ik toch een beetje te oud ben voor deze schrijfstijl.
Het was als te verwachten kinderlijk beschreven, maar ik heb toch geen idee wat ik gelezen heb. Ik kon er echt, maar dan ook echt niet inkomen. Veel dingen die ik las, las ik oppervlakkig en daardoor zal ik ook wel het grote plot hebben gemist.
Ik vind het heel leuk om te weten hoe Narnia nu ontstaan is, maar het moedigt mij ook ook niet aan om de rest van de serie ook te lezen. In dit geval is het "Soms zijn de films toch beter dan de boeken"

Only an audiobook narrated by Phil Collins could make this any more like Genesis.
Nevertheless it's a fun, easy read and being aware of Lewis' and Tolkeins friendship and similar context brought my awareness to some similar themes in their writing, albeit penned in completely different ways.
I found the beginning of this book the most intriguing, the way Lewis imagines moving between worlds as well as the discription of these worlds is not too dissimilar from early H.G. Wells works. In some of his short stories, Wells plays with the idea of passing into other dimensions and how it might be achieved and what it might look and feel like for those on such a journey, and in doing so coined the term "parallel worlds".
Furthermore the "magician" in his wry wickedness is also reminiscent of some Wellsian mad scientist like Doctor Moreau or the Invisible Man. On that note, the way Aslan comands his newly minted intelligent animals not to slip back into their beastly nature reminded me of Doctor Moreau's commandments to his island of modified mutant animals (but far less grotesque).
I wonder whether Lewis was at all inspired by Wells or if these similarities exist only in my imagination. If nothing else, it shows that there is a wafer thin line between the genres of science fiction and fantasy.

Es un libro muy amable donde encuentras explicación a muchas referencias de las películas que llevaría una eternidad explicar. Nunca está demás volver a la raíz de las aventuras.

Very cute children’s book. I didn’t realize that this was the first book of the series but I did enjoy it. I will probably try and finish the series if all the books are like this. You should know that these books have a strong religious background so go into them understanding that.

En el primer libro de la saga de Las Crónicas de Narnia nos encontramos con dos amigos, víctimas del poder de unos anillos mágicos que son arrojados a otro mundo en el que una malvada hechicera intenta convertirlos en sus esclavos. El origen de Narnia es asombroso, las personas que conocen este mundo podrían describirlo como un mundo increíble pero imagínense leer el origen de este, fue una de las mejores sensaciones de mi vida, sentí algo que jamás había tenido la oportunidad de experimentar en vida, la magia, mientras leía el relato de la creación sentí que era un personaje más palpando la magia de este mundo maravilloso introducirse por mi cuerpo llegando hasta el lugar más ínfimo de este. Es un libro que no olvidaré no sólo por esta asombrosa sensación sino que también por la precioso y cómica voz y características que le da el autor a los personajes, inolvidable.
