  • Lloyd Alexander 30
    Der phantastische Autorenbrief Lloyd Alexander 30. 01. 1924 - 17. 05. 2007 Mai 2007 unabhängig kostenlos Ausgabe 441 Lloyd Chudley Alexander starb am 17.05.2007 im Alter von 83 Jahren. Er wurde am 30. Januar 1924 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Vereinigte Staaten von Amerika geboren, wuchs dort auf und lebte dort bis zu seinem Tod. Bereits mit drei Jahren lernte er lesen und interessierte sich seither für Bücher. Später erweiterte er sein Interesse auf klassische Musik und Zeichnen. Besonders angetan hatten es ihm die keltische und griechische Mythologie, die auch in seinen eigenen Werken ihren Niederschlag fanden. Wie bei vielen seiner Altersklasse war ein Buch über den sagenhaften König Arthus und die dazu gehörigen Heldensagen für ihn Meinungs bildend. Neben diesen Sagen beschäftigte er sich mit den Mabinogin, jener Sammlung klassischer walisischer Sagen, die später so viel Einfluss auf ihn ausübten. Nach seinem Highschool-Abschluss und einer kurzen Episode als Laufbursche bei einer Bank besuchte er das örtliche College. Bereits nach dem ersten Trimester verließ er das College und trat in die US-Army ein. Er wurde zuerst nach Wales zum militärischen Geheimdienst (Army Combat Intelligenz) versetzt, wo er wieder auf keltische und walisische Mythen traf. Lloyd Alexander, der neben spanisch und französisch sich im Selbststudium walisisch beibrachte, konnte so die Schauplätze seiner Heldensagen selbst besuchen. Die Kenntnisse seines Dialektes öffnete ihm in Wales viele Tore, so dass er seine Studien über diese Sagenwelt weiter vorantreiben konnte. Viele dieser Eindrücke verarbeitete er in seinen Büchern. Anfang 1945 wurde er nach Paris versetzt, wo er in der Gegenspionage arbeitete. Nach dem Krieg besuchte er die Universität von Paris.

  • Lloyd Alexander 1924-2007
    LL OYD A L EX A NDER 1924-2007 Jeanne Smith Muzzillo, 2006-2007 Lloyd Alexander Scholar Immersed this past year in the attempt to read my namesake’s works, I find it impossible to pen elegiac closure. As I write, another of his books is still to be published, and Mr. Alexander’s spell still holds his living progeny. I propose a toast, then. Here’s to both Lloyd Alexander and to the worlds he invented and peopled. Here’s to the imaginations he sows! These will in- sure his immortality. May we all endeavor to be the persons he thought we could be. Cheers! THE SPELL OF ALEX A NDER T HE FA N tast IC In which the Magician/Writer appears in his own narrative world “There has never been enchantment strong enough. Magic can’t work miracles,” said Arbican. “I create illusions. I don’t indulge in them myself” (Wizard, 14). In fact, though Alexander clearly had the magical ability, he, as so many of his protagonists, did not accurately assess his impact. Though so many of his writings are still lauded today (in part perhaps in spite of, or because of, Harry Potter’s exploits), the magician/author brooded over his own relevance, and he placed himself squarely in his stories. Read the biographical and autobiographical re- cords and you will find yourself seeing Alexander in each of his works. Flewdur Flam “carries the author’s soul” (May 49), but he is uncannily like the Boy in The Gawgon and the Boy and his gifts like those of Arbican.
