Madeleine L’Engle

    29 november 1918 – 6 september 2007

    Madeleine L'Engle was een Amerikaanse auteur die de moderne wetenschap meesterlijk wist te verbinden met spirituele thema's. Haar werken, vaak geworteld in sciencefiction en fantasy, verkennen complexe vraagstukken over bestaan, geloof en de menselijke natuur. L'Engle verwerkte regelmatig wetenschappelijke concepten, zoals tessaracten en mitochondriaal DNA, om haar verhalen vorm te geven en lezers aan te zetten tot nadenken over de grenzen van kennis. Haar onderscheidende stem en diepgaande inzichten hebben een onuitwisbare indruk achtergelaten in de literatuur voor jongvolwassenen en daarbuiten.
