The Chronicles of Narnia and My life ........

Lucy inside the wardrobe !!/ Lucy dentro del Guardaropa.









The four siblings outside the wardrobe .. !!/ Los cuatro hermanos fuera del guardaropa.



The chronicles of Narnia have remained the benchmark for literacy fantasy and it is originate in C . S Lewis’s life- his experiences, sense of humor, deep interests, hobbies, loves, fears and dreams. I can say that The wardrobe, Narnia has enchanted the hearts and minds of generations around the globe. I am one of them, I was enchanted by the fantasy of Narnia. Through the tales of Narnia, Lewis swept readers into a magical world. But his purpose was not simply to divert readers with fantasy. Rather Lewis wanted to return his readers to reality equipped with new images and metaphors that help them find magic in their own lives. I believe that there is something Magic inside us that we need to discover I think it is more than magic is something special that you can see through the wardrobe and you will look your life experiences , dreams , hopes, aspirations and also your destiny.

The first book that I read was “ The Witch , The Lion and the Wardrobe” I remember that it was a homework in SALI institute my second place where I studied English and I have good memories. The book describes four siblings: Peter,Susan, Edmund and Lucy Pensevensie – are sent to the country to stay with old professor Digory Kirke to scape the air raids in London. The children step through the professor’s wardrobe and find themselves in the land of Narnia, which is always winter but never Christmas. where they met new creatures and experimented extraordinaire adventures and have Enchanted by the Witch’s offer of endless Turkish Delight and a chance King, Edmund betrays his brother, sisters and the Great Lion Aslan.

This is one of my favorites book , when I read the first time my mind flew far away in a new and magical world called Narnia . It remind me this world because many people in this world are divided in different lands , continents, nations and also culture, languages, religions and with different points of view. Each country is a different world with many things inside that we need to discover , Most people live day by day without ever feeling engaged in the great issues of existence . Narnia for me represent these worlds and the wardrobe ,a fantasy bridge that leads each reader directly to these places . My first time inside the wardrobe was when I left my city Trujillo , family and friends of all my life and I started a new life in Lima where in my school of International Trade “ADEX” my eyes where opened to see more than do international business.I entered that program with the desire to learn more about export and import and how to conduct international business between countries, which is the main way to help solve economic problems around the world,there also I met really good and interesting people where I could see their goals and how they persuade them. They are now special for me and I appreciate them a lot. I have many unforgetful experiences with them. Now I ended up again inside the wardrobe I will go India to study there . I am really excited meet new friends , gain an unique cross-cultural awareness and also have new adventures That will keep in my heart forever !!!







Lucy Pevensie meets Mr. Tumnus !!!


This is the best beautiful written part in the book when Lucy Penvensie’s trip through the wardrobe and the magical world she found there . She met to Mr. Tumnus , he is a faun –a mythical creature with the head and chest of a man and legs of goat , carrying an umbrella and parcels in a snowy wood. They were scared when they met each others. she encountered in an unknown world and they were totally diferents but with the same feelings !!!! The funny part is when they greet each others Lucy said : You shake hands and Mr. Tumnus replied : Why ?? she said : “I don’t know “ “people do this when they meet each others” . It was part of her culture do this and no for Mr. Tumnus But they broke cultural barriers and were able to shake hands .
You can see this scene in the following video:



I love Turkish delight !! Uhmmm

I can’t tell you how surprised I was when the package from England arrived. The postman brought it to my house and I was very excited when I saw that it was from my friend Iona . Then when I opened it and saw a box of turskish delight !! I have to say I was truly delighted. Thank you so much!! I love these candies as much as chocolates. Wherever I go Turkish delight will remind me the book of Narnia.
In the book the Queen discovers that Edmund is a human child. she suddenly becomes very attentive, and invites Edmund to sit in her sledge under her fur mantle and talk with her. Edmund does not dare disobey her orders. The Queen conjures up food and drink for him, which consists of a hot drink and a box of Turkish Delight. As he eats and drinks, the Queen asks him many questions. Edmund might have been wary of trusting this strange, imposing woman, but he is completely fixated on the sweet food.



“People say that the Turkish Delight is enchanted, causing whoever eats it to feel an insatiable greed for more”
That's why " I love and I Can't stop eating this ..!!!!
