dc.description.abstract | Children’s literature has been considered to be one of the finest tools to influence children, therefore it is not strange that institutions such as the church or its devotees decide to spread their thoughts through this kind of literature. The following paper will analyse and compare the portrayal of Christianity and the figure of God in both the first novels of His Dark Materials and The Chronicles of Narnia. Since the authors of these texts, Philip Pullman and C.S. Lewis, differ in terms of the understanding of religion, I intend to investigate and establish the techniques utilized by both authors to capture their perspectives regarding religion and faith. The analysis is expected to corroborate that C.S. Lewis’ novel is highly influenced by Christianity and predicates its values while Pullman’s novel transmits an antireligious image supported by science and that his novels are written as a response to Lewis’ ones. | ca_ES |
dc.description.abstract | La literatura infantil està considerada com una de les millors eines per influenciar als joves. Per aquesta raó, no és estrany que institucions com l’església o els seus devots utilitzin aquest tipus de literatura per a difondre els seus pensaments. El següent article analitzarà i compararà la representació del Cristianisme i la figura de Déu en les primeres novel·les de les sagues His Dark Materials i The Chronicles of Narnia. Ja que els autors d’aquests texts, Philip Pullman i C.S. Lewis difereixen en termes de comprensió de la religió, pretenc investigar i establir les tècniques emprades pels dos autors per copsar les seves perspectives de religió i fe. S’espera que l’anàlisi corrobori que la novel·la de C.S. Lewis està molt influenciada pel cristianisme i és utilitzada per predicar els seus valors, mentre que la novel·la de Pullman transmet una imatge antireligiosa recolzada per la ciència i que les seves novel·les s’escriuen com a resposta a les de Lewis. | ca_ES |
