“…George MacDonald's book Phantastes was a magic novel, where there was 'enough forest travel, hostile ghosts, beautiful and treacherous ladies'. 15 The writer admitted that as he read the Phantastes, his imagination becomes 'Christian'. 16 In his essay on the writer's work, Lewis draws attention to the best, from his point of view, writer's work-these are 'fantastic stories floating somewhere between an allegorical parable and a myth'.…”

“…However, school acquaintance with the Bible too often connived at strengthening the worst kind of unbelief, that is, that rational and dry half-faith, which obscures the conscience from the reproaches of the Gospel the more securely, the more firmly memorized the biblical texts are. 22 Lewis's apologistic nature is realized as a fantasy genre, with its own chronicle and its geography, and borrowing it from the fantasy epic The Lord of the Rings by J. R. R. Tolkien, Lewis provides his history with geographical maps.…”

“…Just as at the death of Christ, the curtain of the temple was torn in two, so the Stone Table in Lewis' book, on which Aslan was slain, split into two halves. 24 How did the event connected with Aslan's Resurrection affect the children and the inhabitants of Narnia? They stopped feeling the fear of a battle with the White Witch and her army.…”

The relevance of the study is due to the fact that it attempts to analyze the artistic features, genre identity and the issues addressed in one of the most significant and monumental works of Clive Staples Lewis The Chronicles of Narnia written in the late period of the writer’s work (1950–1956). In this regard, the purpose of this article is to consider the fantasy world of C. S. Lewis and the traditions of the English literary fairy tale, the genre of fantasy as a semantics-forming genre, as well as the moral issues through the prism of the Gospel values, which are fundamental in understanding the characters of the heroes. The leading approaches to the study of this problem are the comparative method, the method of philological and philosophical analysis, the dialectical and deduction method, which allow to analyze in detail The Chronicles of Narnia as a work of art in all its genre, ideological and philosophical diversity. The article presents a detailed analysis of Clive Staples Lewis’ The Chronicles of Narnia. It is revealed that this work represents a special synthesis of a number of genre structures, such as a parable, a fairy tale, and the genre of fantasy. It is substantiated in the paper that fantasy acts as the main genre structure, since it ‘generalizes’ the parable and the fairy tale, the reality and the fantasy world. The article shows that it is fantasy, as a synthesis of various genre elements, that ensures the unity of the ‘world’s dual nature’: the writer’s world, the country where he and his characters live, and the fictional country. The spiritual evolution of Lewis’ characters is accomplished through overcoming temptations, fear, indifference, and betrayal. The humaneness of Lewis’ moral position is manifested in the fact that he believes that God and his life-giving power is present in the life of every person, and the Joy of man is to meet with God. The materials of the article are of practical value for philologists, philosophers and theologists, and can also be used in lecture courses of “History of Foreign Literature of the XX Century” as well as “History of English Literature of the XX Century”, in lecture courses in cultural studies, history of philosophy of science, history of philosophy of religion, and in the teaching of theology.

For the first time, a systematic study of the prose of C.S. Lewis of 1930-1945 is presented in the light of Christian ideals that determine the genre specificity of his works. Both in foreign and domestic literary criticism, there are still no works devoted to this problem. The main research methods are the comparative method, the method of philosophical analysis, the dialectical method, the method of deduction and induction, which make it possible to analyze in detail this work of art in all its religious and philosophical diversity.

Foresight carried out in this direction of research is one of its strongest sides.
