Soloko ubusika kwaye ungaze ube yiKrisimesi: Ibali leholide eliphefumlelweyo CS Lewis 'Iintsuku ezimnyama kakhulu

INgonyama, igqwirha kunye neWardrobe ingaqwalaselwa njengebali leKrisimesi kuba ibekwe eNarnia, ubukumkani obuqalekisiweyo apho kuhlala kubusika kodwa kungaze kube yiKrisimesi. Ngethamsanqa, ngo-Narnia, upelo loloyiso ngomlingo onzulu ngaphambi kokusa kwexesha kwaye abemi banokuthi ekugqibeleni bakhanyise iintsuku zabo zobumnyama ngombhiyozo we-solstice.

Umbhali uClive Staples Lewis uchithe ubomi bakhe ekhangela umlingo oza kuphula isiqalekiso seentsuku zakhe zobumnyama. Ukuphelelwa lithemba awayefuna ukukoyisa inokuba yile nto ibenza abalandeli kule ncwadi kwaye babazisela indawo ebonakalayo kwinkcubeko ye pop.

Lilonke, wabhala uLewis ngaphezulu kweencwadi ezingama-30 kwaye nempembelelo entle kwimisebenzi yababhali abanjengoPhilip Pullman, J.K. Rowling, kunye noNeil Gaiman. INgonyama, igqwirha kunye neWardrobe kunye nezinye IziKronike zaseNarnia series, kuthengisiwe Iikopi zeencwadi ezili-100 Kwaye waphefumlela iifilimu ezintathu zeDisney, kunye neyesine kwimisebenzi. Umsebenzi ubonakala kwizalathiso zenkcubeko ye pop ukusuka Amantombazana aseGilmore ukuya iphaki yasemazantsi . Ukanti bambalwa abalandeli abaziyo malunga nobuntwana obungonwabisiyo obenza ukuba uLewis abhale ngokuqinisekileyo malunga nehlabathi eliqalekisiweyo.

Ngexesha leminyaka yakhe yokuqala, umbhali u-CS Lewis wajongana neentsuku ezininzi ezimnyama ezavavanya ukholo lwakhe eluntwini kunye nenkolo awabhaptizwa kuyo. Uya kuchitha ubomi bakhe kwaye ajolise kakhulu ekubhaleni kwakhe ekuzameni ukuqonda okwenzekileyo ebuntwaneni bakhe, ethatha isigqibo sokuba yintoni efanelekileyo kunye nokuziphatha kwihlabathi elibonakala likhohlakele.

U-Lewis waphulukana nonina ngenxa yomhlaza eneminyaka elithoba. Wathandaza ukuba angafi kwaye waziva engcatshiwe ngumama wakhe noThixo xa eswelekile. Emva kokubhubha kukanina, wathunyelwa kwisikolo ekuhlalwa kuso apho woyikiswa yintloko-ntloko enolunya, indoda ngokungathandekiyo ukuba kamva wazinikela kwisibhedlele sabagula ngengqondo. Imithandazo yenkwenkwe engaphendulwanga yakhokelela ekuphulukaneni nokholo.

Nangona kamva wabizwa ngokuba ngomnye wababhali abangamaKristu abakhulu bekhulu lama-20, uLewis waba ngumntu ongakholelwa kubukho bukaThixo kwasebusheni bakhe kwaye wayeya kuhlala ethe gqolo kumashumi eminyaka. Ukwenza ingqiqo yelizwe elibonakala ngathi liza kumphika uzinzo, wafunda iifilosofi njenge theosophy kwaye ukusebenzelana nemimoya .Kwangoko, waba nomdla kwiintsomi ezizezakhe kunye nezinye iinkcubeko; Iintsomi zaseIreland naseBritane, isaga zaseIceland, iNorse, iRoma kunye neentsomi zamaGrike. Ezi ntsomi kunye neentsomi ziya kuthi kamva zenze igalelo kubalinganiswa kunye nemvakalelo yendalo iphela kuthotho lweNarnia.

Ngelixa wayekhonza eFrance ngexesha leMfazwe yeHlabathi yokuQala, uLewis wenzakala kwaye waphulukana nomhlobo wakhe osenyongweni, emqhubela kwelinye ixesha lokudakumba. Amava aqinisekisa ubungqina bokungakholelwa kuThixo. Uthe akakholelwa kubuthixo obuya kuvumela uloyiko lwemfazwe.

Ukuphikisana kwam noThixo yayikukuba indalo iphela yabonakala ikhohlakele kwaye ingenabulungisa, Utshilo uLee kwincwadi yakhe UbuKristu nje .

Xa uLewis wafundisa kwiYunivesithi yaseOxford, obunye ubuhlobo batshintsha ingqondo yakhe malunga nenkolo kunye nefuthe kwicala lomsebenzi wakhe wokubhala.

E-Oxford wazibandakanya neqela lababhali elalisaziwa njengeeNklings. Elinye ilungu leqela yayinguJ.R.R. Tolkien, umbhali we INkosi yeeRingi . Ababhali baba ngabahlobo ngenxa yokwabelana nothando lwentsomi, uncwadi kunye nolwimi, kodwa uTolkien wayenomdla kwinkolo yakhe yamaKatolika.

Nangona abahlobo beza kuthi kamva baphikisane kwaye bakhule ngokwahlukana, yayinguTolkien owamncedayo uLee ukuba ahlangabezane namathandabuzo akhe malunga nenkolo. Ubuhlobo butshintshe ubomi bakhe kunye nomsebenzi wokubhala. Ngaphandle kwamathandabuzo aphindaphindeneyo, u-Lewis wayeza kuqhubeka nokukhusela ubuKrestu ngenzondelelo kwimibhalo yakhe nasebusweni njengoko wayekhusela ngaphambili ukungakholelwa kwakhe kubukho bukaThixo.

Phambi kokuba uLewis abhale INgonyama, igqwirha kunye neWardrobe Wabhala ezinye iincwadi ezinemixholo yobuKristu. Kodwa wathi akazange azimisele ukubhala umdlalo wokuziphatha kobuKristu. Wayengenazicwangciso zokufundisa xa ebhala INgonyama, igqwirha kunye neWardrobe kodwa UAslan weza engena ngaphakathi .

Ibali bekufanele ukuba lijolise kubantwana besikolo abafudukayo. Ngexesha leMfazwe yesibini (II) yeHlabathi, abantwana besikolo bakhutshwa ngobuninzi besuka kwizixeko zase-Bhritane basiwa emaphandleni, kwaye uLewis, njengabanye abaninzi, bakhwela abantu abasakhulayo. Nangona kunjalo, ibali alizange lithathe kuphela abalinganiswa kwilizwe. Yabopha yabasa kwelinye ilizwe, ilizwe apho izilwanyana zazinokuthetha khona.

U-Lewis waphefumlelwa ukuba enze ubukumkani base-Narnia emva kokucinga ngemifanekiso ye-faun kunye negqwirha. Yakuba ibonakele ingonyama yomlingo uAslan ebalini, umlingiswa uthathe indima efana noKrestu, ekhokelele kwabanye abafundi ukuba babuze injongo yakhe. Nokuba ebengenanjongo zokubandakanya imixholo yobuKristu, ukwenzile.Kwileta ka-1961 eya kumntwana osele ekhulile, ubhale , Ibali lonke likaNarnian limalunga noKristu.

Nokuba bakhuliswe kangakanani ngokwenkolo, abanye abafundi bayiphosa ngokupheleleyo imifanekiso yobuKrestu. Abanye abakhange babone ngelixa befunda iincwadi besebancinci kodwa bazifumana kamva kwaye babengasoloko bonwabile. Abanye baninzi, imixholo yeencwadi yabonakala ngathi yeyendalo iphela kwaye inesidima ngokubanzi kunaleyo inokubalelwa ngokukodwa kumaxabiso obuKristu.

Xa ndifunda uthotho okokuqala, yandichukumisa kakhulu, kodwa njenge-adventure emnandi, ngokuhambelana nolunye uhambo kunye nokubaleka-le nto iyinyani bendiyifunda ngelo xesha, utshilo uDonna Du Carme, umlimi, umbhali kunye nomzabalazo. Emva kwexesha, ndakuba mdala, ndafunda ukuba bekufanele ukuba yintsomi yamaKristu, kwaye ekuqaleni ndaziva ngathi ndididekile, kodwa ekucingeni ndafumanisa ukuba kukukhumbuza ngakumbi iinkolo ezininzi kunye neentsomi endizifundileyo- nkqu neli dini umxholo wendalo iphela.

Ngeencwadi zakhe zikaNarnia uLewis wanikezela ngesakhelo sokuziphatha kunye nokuziphatha kwabafundi abancinci, kodwa wabucala esokola nokukholwa. Woyiswa okwethutyana kukuthandabuza xa umfazi wakhe owayeneminyaka embalwa eswelekile ngumhlaza. Wathandabuza ukungalungi kwelahleko yakhe kodwa ekugqibeleni wagqiba kwelokuba ahlale ethembekile kwinkolo yakhe.

Kule minyaka idlulileyo, abagxeki baye bathatha ingxaki kwezenkolo nakwezinye iinkalo zomsebenzi kaLewis. UPhilip Pullman wambiza ngokobuhlanga ngenxa yendlela awayeveza ngayo abemi belizwe laseCalormen, elikhankanywe kuqala INkosana uCaspian . Abafundi abancinci abangamaSilamsi bavakalise ukungonwabi malunga nokufana okubonwayo phakathi kweCalormen ebonakala ngathi yindlobongela kunye nezizwe zamaSilamsi.

Kwibali elinesihloko Ingxaki kaSusan , UNeil Gaiman wacebisa ukuba uLewis wayengumntu ongamthandiyo umfazi kuba umdla kaSusan Pevensie kwilipstick nakumakhwenkwe umbangela ukuba aphoswe kukujoyina isigxina u-Aslan. Abalandeli baphikisile ukuba abagxeki abawuqondi umyalezo kaLewis, owawunyamezelayo kwaye uqhubela phambili ngeminyaka yoo-1950 xa wabhala.

Ngaphandle kokugxekwa, umsebenzi kaLewis uyaqhubeka nokubonisana nabafundi abancinci kunye nabazali babo, utsala umdla amawaka abalandeli abatsha qho ngonyaka. Enye inkcazo yesimo sabo esithandekayo phakathi kweencwadi zabantwana inokuba kukuba amava kaLewis aphelelwe lithemba enza ukuba imizabalazo yobuqu yabalinganiswa bakhe ibe yinyani kwaye ibuye ibuye.

KuLewis, ukubhala iincwadi zeNarnia inokuba yayiyindlela yokonyango. Kwi INgonyama, igqwirha kunye neWardrobe , U-Lucy Pevensie unikwa ifomula yonyango enamandla. Ngethontsi uzisa umntakwabo u-Edmund kubuya elunxwemeni lokufa. Ubuntwana bukaLeeis ngebabonwabile ngakumbi ukuba wayenendlela yemilingo enokuhlangula umama wakhe ekufeni. Kubukumkani baseNarnia, isiqalekiso sinokwaphulwa kodwa akusoloko kulula.

Loo myalezo unamandla uchaphazele abantu abaninzi.

Utitshala wam webanga lesihlanu wasifundela owokuqala njengeklasi kwaye ndazigqiba ngokwam ukusuka apho, utshilo u-Andrea Rushing, umama, ononyana wakhe oneminyaka emi-4 ubudala okwangoku akakafundi iincwadi. Ndikhulele ecaweni, ndifunda iBhayibhile kwaye ndibabambe behluke ngokupheleleyo engqondweni yam. Ndasishiya kwangoko isifundo seBhayibhile kodwa ndisaxabisa ezi ncwadi unanamhla.

Ukukholelwa ukuba okuhle ekugqibeleni kuya koyisa ububi kuguqule ubomi buka Lewis. Iincwadi zakhe zeNarnia zanceda ukuguqula ubomi babanye.
