The character of the book "The Chronicles of Narnia" Peter Pevensey. Who plays the role of Peter Pevensey?

The fantasy genre is very popular with viewers and readers. But how many really bright and interesting works? If you think about it, then, perhaps, not so much. The legendary saga "The Lord of the Rings" is oriented more towards the adult circle of readers, but what remains for the young admirers of the fantasy genre? We recommend a good and very beautiful story from a close friend of JRR Tolkien - Clive S. Lewis called "The Chronicles of Narnia." The fairy-tale kingdom and its inhabitants, children led by Peter Pevensey, and, of course, magic - all this will engulf the reader with his head and make you come back again and again to your favorite heroes.

He is known for a series of books about the fictional country of Narnia and about the unusual adventures of children in it. A total of 7 works were produced. The first book was published in 1950. In a magic country, animals talk and heroes of ancient legends and fairy tales live, but the main theme is as old as the world - the struggle between good and evil. The writer included subtle hints of Christian ideas in an accessible form for young readers, in addition he added characters from Greek and Roman mythology, traditional Irish tales.

His personality appears in four of the seven stories told by the author, in the first two as a child, and in the final he is already an adult man. This is the eldest son of the Pevensey family. If you adhere to the literary description given by the author of the books, he has light blond hair, piercing blue eyes, an article and a high growth. He has two sisters and a brother, being the elder, willy-nilly, he feels responsible for them.

According to the earthly calendar, Peter was born in 1927 and during the Second World War, along with the rest of the children, Pevensey was evacuated from London to a country house where the professor lived.

Mysterious and mysterious Narnia is covered with snow, it reigns eternal winter, because power is captured by the evil White Witch. As the oldest in the family, Peter Pevensey (pictured above) initially decides not to participate in the fight against her, but at this time the younger brother Edmund, who succumbed to the queen's charms, escapes. With the help of Lev Aslan and the magic gifts of the Father Christmas, they save Narnia and become, as it is said in ancient tradition, its kings and queens. The four of them rule the fairy-tale country for 15 years, by this time Peter is 28 years old. One day they again find a secret door to the closet and return to England.
