Beschreibung

A Double Story is a captivating narrative that intertwines the realms of fantasy and reality, showcasing George MacDonald'Äôs skillful blending of rich allegorical elements with intricate character development. The text oscillates between two parallel tales, illuminating the eternal battle between light and darkness, innocence and corruption. MacDonald employs a lyrical style, peppered with vivid imagery and profound philosophical insights, reflective of the Victorian literary context; his work resonates with the themes of morality and spirituality that were paramount during this period. The ornate prose not only enchants readers but also invites them to ponder the deeper truths of human existence. George MacDonald, a seminal figure in Victorian literature, was an influential author and poet, often regarded as a precursor to modern fantasy literature. A devout Christian, his spiritual beliefs deeply informed his writing, particularly in A Double Story where he grapples with notions of duality and the quest for redemption. His friendships with notable contemporaries, including Lewis Carroll and Arthur Hughes, further enriched his literary perspective, allowing MacDonald to navigate between child-like wonder and profound philosophical inquiry. This book is highly recommended for readers seeking a thought-provoking exploration of human nature and morality, wrapped in a fantastical narrative. A Double Story serves not only as an engrossing tale but also as a spiritual and philosophical treatise, making it a must-read for enthusiasts of both fantasy literature and Victorian thought.

    "Will you please come back and play for the club Aoife?". Aidan asks his twin sister this question every week. Twins, Aoife and Aidan Power, along with their four best friends love playing Gaelic football. They spend most evenings after school playing football in the green in their picturesque rural village of "Droichead Beag". Aoife and Aidan are skilful and fast but when they combine on the same team, "Twin Power" is unleashed and they have an almost telepathic communication on the pitch, leading to some spectacular scores.
    But while Aoife loves football, an incident at a match almost two years earlier saw her stop training and playing with her local GAA club, Droichead Beag GAA. Aidan knows what happened, but Aoife refuses to tell her friends. Could it have something to do with their Under 12 counterparts in Gorman GAA, the rival parish team of Droichead Beag, where old rivalries run deep?
    And how will Aoife's refusal to play affect their school team when the children's teacher Ms. Kelly, herself a former All- Star football player announces an exciting new school's football competition, "Star Schools GAA"?
    Parish rivalries re-surface and threaten to get out of hand as the children of Droichead Beag National School fight tooth and nail to get their hands on the coveted first ever Star Schools Cup.
