Charles Kingsley

    12. Juni 1819 – 23. Januar 1875

    Dieser englische Geistliche und Professor war für seine Romane bekannt, die den Impuls zeigten, soziale Realitäten durch christlichen Idealismus in traumhafte Geographien umzugestalten. Seine Werke erforschten gesellschaftliche Fragen mit einer einzigartigen Perspektive, inspiriert von seinem Glauben und regionalen Bezügen. Mit tiefem Interesse an Geschichte und Sozialreform wurde sein Schreiben zu einem Spiegelbild seiner Überzeugungen.
