Las crónicas de Narnia, escrita por C.S. Lewis. Esta serie novelas es conocida por su mezcla de aventuras fantásticas, valores morales y cristianismo allegórico, publicadas entre 1950 y 1956. La serie se compone de siete novelas que se pueden leer de manera independiente, aunque también cuentan una historia más amplia que abarca todo el mundo mágico de Narnia. La serie combina elementos de aventura, mitología, y valores morales en un entorno mágico.
Las novelas en orden cronologico son:
1. "El sobrino del mago" (1955)
2. "El león, la bruja y el armario" (1950)
3. "El caballo y su muchacho" (1954)
4. "El príncipe Caspian" (1951)
5. "La travesía del Viajero del Alba" (1952)
6. "La silla de plata" (1953)
7. "La última batalla" (1956)
La historia principal se desarrolla en el mundo mágico de Narnia, un lugar poblado por criaturas mitológicas, seres humanos y gobernado por leones parlantes y otros animales. Cada libro sigue las aventuras de diferentes personajes, tanto niños como criaturas de Narnia, mientras luchan contra el mal encarnado en la figura de la Bruja Blanca o el diabólico Tash.
Uno de los aspectos más destacados de la serie es su mensaje moral y religioso. C.S. Lewis, un destacado apologista cristiano, incorpora temas y alegorías religiosas en las historias, siendo el león Aslan un claro símbolo de Cristo. A través de las experiencias de los personajes en Narnia, el autor explora temas como la redención, la lealtad, el sacrificio y la lucha entre el bien y el mal.
"Las Crónicas de Narnia" son amadas por su capacidad de entretener a lectores jóvenes y adultos por igual. La riqueza de su mundo mágico y los valores universales que promueve han hecho de esta serie un clásico de la literatura infantil y juvenil que perdura a lo largo del tiempo. A medida que los personajes crecen y evolucionan a lo largo de los libros, los lectores también pueden encontrar capas más profundas de significado en las historias.

I finally got around to reading these all the way through. I'm pretty sure I read through book 4 when I was much younger, but really, it was a different experience reading them as a twenty-something. I vividly remember the moment several years ago when my mother and I were watching a televised version of The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe... and suddenly made the connection that the whole thing was a giant allegory with Aslan as Jesus. We just looked at each other going, gee, this is sounding very familiar all of a sudden. Well, if you think that particular book smacks you across the face with Christian metaphors (and obviously as a small child I didn't pick up on this at all), wait til you hit some of the later books (especially The Last Battle).
The end of the series completely shocked me. I understand the whole thing was a Christian allegory to begin with, but HOLY COW. I will try not to spoil it here, but... it's vaguely creepy to see how enthusiastic they are, and also horrible to think that Susan is now left behind. I did read that Susan's fate is meant to be an example, that rather than showing that she is now damned/unable to someday go to New Narnia, her fate is left open—if she repents and returns to believing in Aslan, and asks him for forgiveness, she will be able to join her family. Still creepy and shocking though.
You can also see in A Horse and His Boy how harshly Lewis contrasts the Calormenes with the Narnians. The Calormenes are repeatedly referred to as "dark," "smelling of garlic and onions," with "curved swords..." he even says their poetry is far inferior to the Narnians'. The picture he is trying to paint here is painfully obvious, as all the Calormenes' culture reflects that of the Middle East (whereas the Narnians are obviously very similar to medieval England). It's a seriously bigoted world view, one that I'm sure was more acceptable at the time the books were written, but now is rather jarring to read.
I did enjoy reading these books. I'd thought them awfully dry the first time through—stuffy English children in a fairly entertaining magical land, etc... The difference this time was, I watched the 2005 movie first. The movie completely blew me away, and while reading the first book (and even the succeeding books which involve the Pevensie children) I was able to imagine those warm, courageous and yet flawed children in place of the stuffy English ones, and it added a wonderful new dimension to the story. It was enough to carry me through the boks I didn't like as much, and made me enjoy my favorites even more (those would be The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe and The Horse and His Boy).
Overall, I'd recommend them (they're a super-quick read too, you could probably finish one in a single day if you tried), but only after viewing the 2005 film first. :D Can't wait til movie #2!
