Madeleine L’Engle Libri
Madeleine L'Engle è stata un'autrice americana che ha fuso magistralmente la scienza moderna con temi spirituali. Le sue opere, spesso ambientate nel regno della fantascienza e del fantasy, esplorano complesse questioni sull'esistenza, la fede e la natura umana. L'Engle incorporava frequentemente concetti scientifici, come i tesseratti e il DNA mitocondriale, per portare avanti le sue narrazioni e incoraggiare i lettori a contemplare le frontiere della conoscenza. La sua voce distintiva e le sue profonde intuizioni hanno lasciato un segno indelebile nella letteratura per giovani adulti e non solo.
