The Fathers of Fantasy
J. R. R. Tolkien and C. S. Lewis are known as the fathers of the fantasy genre. Fantasy means fairy-tales for grown-ups. Both writers were famous figures at Oxford University. Tolkien was a Professor of English and Literature, and Lewis was a Professor of Literature.
Lewis came to England from Ireland. He did not like England at all. By that time he had lost his faith in God, but then he met Tolkien at Oxford, and they became close friends. Under the influence of his older friend Lewis returned to his faith at the age of thirty-three. Behind the thrilling and mysterious plots both authors expressed Christian ideas that are often overlooked in the modern world.
Tolkien married young. He met his love at the age of sixteen. The girl was three years older. They liked to sit in a cafe in a balcony and throw sugar cubes into the passers-bytasks hats. Tolkientasks guardian didntaskt like the friendship. He did not allow any meetings or even correspondence before Tolkien was twenty-one.
On his twenty-first birthday Tolkien wrote a letter to the girl he loved. It turned out she thought that Tolkien had forgotten her. She was engaged to another man. But when she saw Tolkien again, she understood that she was in love with him. The girl returned the engagement ring and married Tolkien. They had four children.
Tolkientasks most famous books arc "The Hobbit" and "The Lord of the Rings".
More than thirty years after Tolkientasks death "The Lord of the Rings" appeared on the screen and immediately became a blockbuster.
As for Lewis, he married quite late. His wife had two children from the first marriage and he adopted them. His wife was the cleverest woman he knew, with a deep sense of humour. At first they had an intellectual friendship, but then she got ill and Lewis proposed immediately. They got married in hospital, and she lived for another four years.
Lewistasks most famous book, "The Chronicles of Narnia", became a classic. The author did not want it to be screened. However, the most famous part of it, "The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobetasktask was made into a film. Then another film, "Prince Caspiantask4 was released. One of the film directors was Lewistasks step-son. Gresham.
