Madeleine L’Engle

    29. november 1918 – 6. september 2007

    Madeleine L'Engle bola americká autorka, ktorá majstrovsky spájala modernú vedu s duchovnými témami. Jej diela, často zasadené do oblasti sci-fi a fantasy, skúmajú zložité otázky existencie, viery a ľudskej povahy. L'Engle s obľubou využívala koncepty z vedy, ako sú teserakty alebo mitochondriálna DNA, aby rozvinula svoje príbehy a inšpirovala čitateľov k zamysleniu sa nad hranicami poznania. Jej jedinečný štýl a hlboké myšlienky zanechali nezmazateľnú stopu v literatúre pre mladých čitateľov i dospelých.

      Madeleine L'Engle stvorila sériou Struny času klasiku tínedžerskej sci-fi literatúry, ktorá ovplyvnila tvorbu spisovateľov posledných päťdesiatich rokov. Meg Murryová je obyčajná tínedžerka s nízkym sebavedomím a túžbou zapadnúť. Je dcérou svetoznámeho fyzika a je rovnako inteligentná a talentovaná ako jej mladší brat Charles Wallace. Všetko sa pokazí, keď ich otec zmizne za záhadných okolností, čo jej matke zlomí srdce. Zdrvenú Meg a jej kamaráta Calvina predstaví jej brat trom záhadným nebeským bytostiam, ktoré pricestovali na Zem, aby zachránili pána Murryho. Spoločne sa vydávajú na neuveriteľnú dobrodružnú cestu naprieč časom i priestorom, objavujú svety za hranicami našej fantázie, kde musia čeliť mocnému zlu. Meg sa môže domov vrátiť až po tom, čo porazí temnotu vo vlastnom srdci a objaví silu na boj s temnotou, ktorá postupne zahaľuje celý vesmír. Rovnomenný film prichádza do slovenských kín 12. apríla 2018 s hviezdnym obsadením!

      Jeden sychravý novembrový deň sa Meg Murryová vráti zo školy a jej brat Charles Wallace jej oznámi, že v zeleninovej záhrade spozoroval draky. V tú noc sa Meg, Charles Wallace a ich kamarát Calvin vyberú do záhrady, kde im tajuplný Učiteľ prezradí, že to, čo videli, neboli vôbec draky, ale prazvláštni cherubíni. Vysvitne, že Charles je vážne chorý a Učiteľ s prapodivnými tvormi mu prišli na pomoc – tým, že ho uzdravia, udržia rovnováhu vo vesmíre a zabránia zlu, aby ich pohltilo.
