Commentary Concering Books The Horse and His Boy (The Chronicles of Narnia (Chronological Order) #3)

I feel more conflicted about this book than any of the other Narnia books. On the plus side, the story is stronger and CS Lewis manages to keep his blatant editorializing to a minimum (maybe because none of the characters are transplants from wartime London).

But holy crap, the modern reader will find his racist descriptions pretty hard to swallow. He reintroduces his devious, smelly, turban-clad race, the Calormen. A lost white boy is raised among them and he is sad until he is finally reunited with the beautiful white people of Narnia.

I've read an argument that Lewis isn't *really* racist because he portrays one Calormene character in a positive light. But that's like Sarah Palin gushing about her gay friends to prove she's not homophobic. Inviting a lesbian coworker to your annual moose BBQ is not enough to overcome an active campaign against gay rights. For Lewis, commenting that one Calormene lady is a good storyteller is not enough to over come the contempt he feels towards his own Arab stand-ins.

Crit Appertaining To Books The Horse and His Boy (The Chronicles of Narnia (Chronological Order) #3)

This is increasingly becoming one of my favourites from the Chronicles of Narnia. If asked why, I believe it is because it is the most like a medieval faerie romance. A young boy and girl in the mundane world of Calormen suddenly find themselves in the presence of faeriestalking horseswho wish to take them into Faerie itselfNarnia. Faerie, and the journey to it, however, is perilous and fraught with dangers. Once in it, or on its borders (i.e. Archenland) it becomes even more dangerous. A battle

Do not by any means destroy yourself, for if you live you may yet have good fortune, but all the dead are dead like. This felt as if I was reading a folktale about a horse and a boy who wander around and seek their new adventure. Yet the humor in this book is abundant, even though the narration is not as intriguing as the other books. And the storyline is quite straight and lacks of twists or epicness, too. I yawned so many times while I was getting past the first half of the book. I'd used my

Have I mentioned how much I love these books recently? And Aravis is just like me. In all the wrong ways.

One word: Orientalist.Sorry, I could not get past it - nor should I have to. This was a terrible book, full of so much imperialist racist anti-Arab/Indian tones that I could not appreciate any aspect of it. Quite frankly I couldn't believe that I was reading this garbage. I don't really care if the story is good - if it's offensive it's not good. And even then, I really didn't care for the story.The characters were completely new and it takes place during Susan/Edmund/Peter/Lucy's reign in

Meh. This one was not as exciting or fun as the previous two.

The Horse and His Boy was one of my favorite chronicles of Narnia when I was younger partly because I love all things oriental, and the setting of Calormen is Lewiss quasi-Arabian society but more importantly, because of the heroine Aravis. The young Calormene aristocrat, a tarkheena as she is titled, is a singular character in the Lewis mythology: here, for once, the author shows us that he is capable of envisioning a female who is neither a mild-mannered English girl, nor an evil sorceress.

You know you're bored when it nearly takes you a month to read something of this length.
