Fantasy

Fantasy is a genre of speculative fiction that often involves magical or supernatural elements that do not exist in the real world. It typically features imaginative and fantastical narratives, allowing readers to explore realms beyond the ordinary, such as mythical creatures, magical powers, and alternate worlds. Fantasy often includes themes of adventure, heroism, and the struggle between good and evil. Common settings for fantasy stories are medieval-like worlds, enchanted forests, or entirely invented universes, where the laws of nature can differ from reality. The genre can be found in literature, films, games, and art, and is characterized by its ability to transport audiences to otherworldly experiences, cultivating a sense of wonder and escapism. Notable works of fantasy include J.R.R. Tolkien’s “The Lord of the Rings,” C.S. Lewis’s “The Chronicles of Narnia,” and J.K. Rowling’s “Harry Potter” series.
