Lewis. Written by Lewis, illustrated by Pauline Baines, and originally published in London between 1950 and 1956, The Chronicles of Narnia has been adapted for radio, television, stage and film. The series takes place in the fictional kingdom of Narnia, a fantastic world of magic, mythical beasts and talking animals. It tells the story of the adventures of various children who play a central role in the unfolding history of the Narn world. With the exception of the Horse and His Boy, the main characters are all children from the real world who are magically transported to Narnia, where they are sometimes called by the lion Aslan to protect Narnia from evil. The books cover the entire history of Narnia, from its creation in The Magician's Nephew to its eventual destruction in the last battle. The Chronicles of Narnia is considered a classic of children's literature and is a bestseller by Lewis, selling more than 100 million copies in 47 languages. Backstory and conception Although Lewis originally conceived what would become the Chronicles of Narnia in 1939 (Faun's picture with parcels in a snow-covered forest has a history dating back to 1914), he did not finish writing the first book of The Lion, The Witch and the Closet until 1949. The magician's nephew, the penultimate book to be published, but the last one to be written, was completed in 1954. Lewis did not write the books in the order in which they were originally published, nor were they published in their current chronological order of presentation. The original illustrator, Pauline Baines, created drawings of pen and ink for Narnia's books, which are still used in publications published today. Lewis was awarded the 1956 Carnegie Medal for his last battle, the last book of the saga. The series was first named The Chronicle of Narnia by fellow children's author Roger Lancelin Green in March 1951, after he read and discussed with Lewis his recently completed fourth book Silver Chair, originally entitled Night Under Narnia. Lewis The origin of leo, witch and wardrobe in an essay titled It all started with a picture: Leo it all started with a picture of Faun with an umbrella and parcels in a snowy forest. This picture has been in my head since I was about sixteen years old. One day, when I was in my forties, I said to myself, Let's try to make history about it. Shortly before the outbreak of World War II, many children were evacuated to an English village in anticipation of Nazi Germany's attacks on London and other large urban areas. As a result, on 2 September 1939, three schoolgirls named Margaret, Mary and Catherine came to live in The Furnace at Risinghurst, Lewis's home three miles east of Oxford city centre. Lewis later suggested that this experience gave him a new appreciation of the children, and in late September he began the children's story on a strange piece of paper that was preserved as part of another manuscript: This book about four children whose name was Anne, Martin, Rose and Peter. But most of all about Peter, who was the youngest. All of them had to leave London suddenly because of air raids, and because the father, who was in the army, went to war, and his mother did some military work. They were sent to stay with some kind of bonding mother who was a very old professor who lived alone in the country. In It All Started With a Picture, C. S. Lewis continues: At first, I knew very little about how the story would go. But suddenly Aslan entered it. I think I had a lot of lion dreams about that time. Besides, I don't know where Leo came from or why he came from. But once he was there, he pulled the whole story together, and soon he pulled six other Narnian stories in after him. Although Lewis admitted to not knowing the source of his inspiration for Aslan, Jared Lobdell, digging into Lewis's story to explore the creation of the series, suggests that Charles Williams' 1931 novel The Place of the Lion is a likely influence. The manuscript of Lion, Witch and Wardrobe was completed by the end of March 1949. The name Narnia is based on Narni, Italy, written in Latin as Narnia. Green wrote: When Walter Hooper asked where he found the word Narnia, Lewis showed him the Murray Small Classic Atlas, edited by G.B. Grundy (1904), which he acquired when he read the classic with Mr. William T. Kirkpatrick in the Great Bookham (1914-1917). On the slab 8 Atlas is a map of ancient Italy. Lewis emphasized the name of a small town called Narnia, simply because he liked its sound. Narnia - or Narni in Italian - is in Umbria, halfway between Rome and Assisi. The history of the publication of the Chronicles of the seven books of Narnia has been in continuous release since 1956, selling more than 100 million copies in 47 languages and with editions in The first five books were originally published in the United Kingdom by Jeffrey Blaise. The first edition of The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe was released in London on October 16, 1950. Although three more books, Prince Caspian, The Journey of Dawn Treader and The Horse and His Boy, were already completed, they were not released immediately at the time, but instead appeared (along with the Silver Chair) one in each of the subsequent years (1951-1954). The last two books (The Wizard's Nephew and the Last Battle) were published in the UK in 1955 and 1956 by The Bodley Head. In the United States, publishing rights first belonged to Macmillan Publishing and then HarperCollins. The two issued both hardcover and paperback editions of the series during their tenure as publishers, at the same time Scholastic, Inc. produced paperback versions for sale primarily through direct mail order, book clubs, and book fairs. HarperCollins has also published several one-volume collected editions containing the full text of the series. As noted below (see Order of Reading), the first American publisher, Macmillan, numbered the books in a sequence of publications, while HarperCollins, at the suggestion of the pasquer Lewis, decided to use the internal chronological order of the series when they won the rights to it in 1994. Scholastic switched the numbering of its soft cover editions in 1994 to mirror that of HarperCollins. Books Seven Books that make up the Chronicles of Narnia are presented here in the order of the original publication date: Leo, The Witch and the Wardrobe (1950) The main article: The Lion, The Witch and the Closet Lion, The Witch and the Closet, completed by the end of March 1949 and published by Jeffrey Bles in the United Kingdom on 16 October 1950, tells the story of four ordinary children: Peter, Susan, Edmund, and Lucy Pevensie, who were evacuated to the English countryside from London after the outbreak of World War II. They discover the wardrobe in the house of Professor Digori Kirke, who leads to the magical land of Narnia. The children of Pevnessy help Aslan, a talking lion, save Narnia from the evil White Witch who reigned over the land of Narnia during the eternal winter of eternal winter without Christmas. Children become kings and queens of this new-found land and establish the Golden Age of Narnia, leaving a legacy that will be rediscovered in later books. Prince Caspian: Return to Narnia (1951) The main article: Prince Caspian, completed after Christmas 1949 and published on October 15, 1951, Prince caspian: Return to Narnia tells the story of the second trip of the children of Pevensi to Narnia, a year after their first. They are pulled by the force of the horn of Susan, blown up by The Prince of the Caspian to call for help in the hour of his need. Narnia as they knew it was no more than 1300 years their castle is in ruins, and all the narns have retreated so far within themselves that only Aslan's magic can wake them up. Caspian fled to the forest, fleeing his uncle Miraz, who usurped the throne. The children went to save Narnia again. Journey at Dawn Treader (1952) The main article: The Journey of Dawn Treader Written between January and February 1950 and published on September 15, 1952, The Journey of Dawn Treader sees Edmund and Lucy Pevensie, along with their prim cousin, Eustace Scrubb, return to Narnia, three years after their last departure. Once there, they join the Caspian sea on dawn Treader to find the seven lords who were expelled when Miraz took the throne. This dangerous journey brings them face to face with many wonders and dangers as they sail to aslan's country on the edge of the world.

  • Chapter 9: Faith and Discipleship in Narnia 157
    Chapter 9 Faith and Discipleship in Narnia In This Chapter ᮣ Recognizing the power of a transformed life ᮣ Finding the Christian life in Narnia ᮣ Discovering the power of the “little guys” ᮣ Seeing Joy, Narnia-style ᮣ Receiving highest praise in Narnia .S. Lewis trekked a rocky spiritual journey in his first 33 years. He went Cdown many dead-end paths searching for answers to the major ques- tions of life. In the end, he discovered what he was looking for — truth, mean- ing, and Joy — in Jesus Christ. Because Lewis was an academic type, you may think that when he resolved these issues intellectually, he moved on with his everyday life as usual with the sense of satisfaction that he’d figured every- thing out. Yet, after Lewis began to really understand the implications of his newfound faith, “business as usual” was the one thing that Lewis couldn’t go back to. He realized that one’s belief in Jesus Christ has a ripple effect. If Christ’s message is true, your faith isn’t just something you take out of your closet for one hour on Sunday; instead, it’s a 24/7 deal because true faith means you surrender your entire life to Jesus Christ. Lewis presents the all-encompassing nature of the Christian faith in The Chronicles of Narnia. There are no “Sunday Narnians” — living for Aslan on one day, and for themselves and the White Witch the rest of the week. In the good versus evil world of Narnia, everyone understands that following Aslan is more than a lifestyle; it’s a life choice.
