Telmarine
The Telmarines are a people in the fictional world of Narnia created by the British author C. S. Lewis for his series '' The Chronicles of Narnia''. Hailing from Telmar, the Telmarines are prominent in the book '' Prince Caspian'', the second book published in the series (but numbered volume 4 in recent editions ordered chronologically). The Telmarines were pirates in our world before entering the Narnian world through a magical cave. No scene from the books takes place there, but Telmar is said to be "far beyond the Western Mountains." According to the timeline drawn up by Lewis, Calormen extended west into Telmar some three centuries after the world was first created. However, after only two years, the Calormenes in Telmar behaved so wickedly that Aslan turned them into dumb beasts, and the area became effectively unpopulated. Pirates from our world arrived in Telmar over a century later, through a rare gateway between the worlds. ''Prince Caspian'' describes how the des ...

Miraz
Miraz is a fictional character from C. S. Lewis's fantasy series ''The Chronicles of Narnia''. He is the main antagonist in the book ''Prince Caspian'', and is the uncle of the book's protagonist. Miraz killed his brother, Caspian IX, allowing his nephew to live as heir until, as the book opens, his wife bears him a legitimate heir. He is a descendant of the Telmarines who had invaded Narnia hundreds of years before, and a cruel and unpopular ruler. Most notorious for banning the teaching of Narnia's pre-Telmarine history, he also levies high taxes and enacts harsh laws. He is ultimately defeated in a duel by Peter Pevensie and then slain by his own advisors. Significance The relationship between Miraz and his brother's son, Prince Caspian, resembles that of Claudius and Hamlet in Shakespeare's play ''Hamlet'', as well as Pelias and Jason from Greek mythology. In a Christianity Today opinion piece published in 2008, Devin Brown noted that Miraz was "aloof and emotionally dista ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Narnia (country)
Narnia is a fantasy world created by C. S. Lewis as the primary location for his series of seven fantasy novels for children, ''The Chronicles of Narnia''. The world is named after the country of Narnia, where much of the ''Chronicles'' takes place. In Narnia, some animals talk, mythical beasts abound, and magic is common. The series tracks the story of Narnia when humans, usually children, enter the Narnian world from Earth. Inspiration The landscape of Lewis's native Ireland, in particular Ulster, played a large part in the creation of the Narnian landscape. In his essay ''On Stories'', Lewis wrote "I have seen landscapes, notably in the Mourne Mountains and southwards which under a particular light made me feel that at any moment a giant might raise his head over the next ridge". In a letter to his brother, Lewis would later confide "that part of Rostrevor which overlooks Carlingford Lough is my idea of Narnia". Although in adult life Lewis lived in England, he returned t ...

Aslan
Aslan () is a major character in C. S. Lewis's ''The Chronicles of Narnia'' series. Unlike any other character, he appears in all seven chronicles of the series.

Lewis often capitalizes the word ''lion'' in reference to Aslan since he parallels Jesus as the "Lion of Judah" in Christian theology.The Collected Letters of C.S. Lewis, vol iii, p 160: "I found the name slan..it is the Turkish for Lion. ... And of course it meant the Lion of Judah." The word ''aslan'' means "lion" in Turkish. Role in ''The Chronicles of Narnia'' '' The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe'' Aslan is first mentioned by Mr. Beaver when the Pevensie children arrive in Narnia.
