Sažetak
The novel The Magician’s Nephew by C. S. Lewis is one of seven books published as the The Chronicles of Narnia series. The aim of this essay is to find links between the cited literary work and the Bible by seeking out intertexts with their origin in the motifs of the creation of the world and original sin (Book of Genesis). It is based on a comparison between biblical figures and Narnia characters and suggests obvious roles such as the Lion Aslan in the role of Christ, the witch Jadis as Satan and Frank and Helen as the first people. The classification of space is also discussed. Firstly however, the author classifies the genre and form of the novel based on the actions of the characters then the distinction between fantasy and religious literature, that is, the connection between the two.
