Jonathan Rogers attinge profondamente ai paesaggi del Sud della sua infanzia, infondendo nelle sue narrazioni un senso di selvatichezza e meraviglia. Con un dottorato in letteratura inglese del diciassettesimo secolo, la sua scrittura è sia colta che accessibile, attraendo persino i suoi sei figli. La sua prosa è caratterizzata da un ritmo serrato e un linguaggio ricco ed evocativo che immerge i lettori in racconti di avventura e umorismo. Le opere di Rogers esplorano temi di coraggio, amicizia e scoperta di sé attraverso una narrazione avvincente.
Jonathan Rogers follows the roots of Flannery O'Connor's fervent Catholicism and traces the outlines of a life marked by illness and suffering, but ultimately defined by an irrepressible joy. In her stories, and in her life story, Flannery O'Connor extends a hand in the dark, warning and reassuring us of the terrible speed of mercy.
Set in a small Kansas town, the narrative reflects on the simple joys of childhood, including games with friends and biking adventures. It captures the essence of growing up, emphasizing the nostalgic experiences of walking to school and the carefree spirit of youth. Years later, the author shares these cherished memories, inviting readers to connect with the universal themes of friendship and the innocence of childhood.
THE WORLD ACCORDING TO NARNIA is a journey further up and further into the imaginative world of C.S. Lewis. Along the way, Jonathan Rogers makes the case that this world-the one where we actually live-is a place no less wondrous than Narnia itself.Imagination is a serious business. It gives substance to our yearnings for something beyond ourselves. Imagination is what convinces us that there is more to the world than meets the eye. And isn t that the first principle of faith?"
