Podrobnosti o e‑knize
In 'Lilith,' George MacDonald crafts a labyrinthine narrative set in a hauntingly ethereal world, captivating readers with its fusion of fantastical elements and profound spiritual allegory. This fantasy novel transcends mere escapism, carving out its space within the literary tradition as an exploration of life, death, and ultimate redemption. MacDonald's literary style is characterized by a rich tapestry of metaphor and a weaving of the darkly mystical with theological undertones, standing alongside works that proffer insight into the human condition through the lens of the supernatural. 'Lilith' is framed within a unique context, wherein the eponymous anti-heroine embodies an intricacy and depth influencing discussions of divine justice and mercy in the cosmic scheme presented within its pages. George MacDonald's own experiences as a Christian minister and a trailblazer in fantasy literature palpably inform 'Lilith.' His universalist beliefs are subtly interwoven throughout the narrative, presenting a tale where salvation is indeed inclusive, but not without its trials. His style and thematic concerns illustrate the influence of Romanticism, reflecting a deep preoccupation with spiritual and existential questions. With 'Lilith,' MacDonald extends an invitation to readers to ponder the complexities of existence, redemption, and the possibility of a redemptive cycle that encompasses all creation. To the discerning reader seeking a seminal work in the foundations of modern fantasy, 'Lilith' is an indispensable addition to one's literary collection. MacDonald's narrative prowess is on full display in this richly symbolic work that is as intellectually stimulating as it is imaginative. This novel will especially resonate with those who appreciate a storyline where the boundaries between the tangible and the metaphysical are blurred, where consequential themes are explored with poetic finesse. 'Lilith' stands as a testament to MacDonald's enduring legacy and a profound meditation on the human capacity for spiritual growth and understanding.
O autorovi
George MacDonald (1824–1905) was a pioneering figure in the field of fantasy literature and a mentor to fellow writer Lewis Carroll. His work, grounded in his Christian faith, merges theological themes with fantastical elements. Born in Aberdeenshire, Scotland, MacDonald pursued a theology degree but focused on literature after facing challenges within the church. His novel 'Lilith' (1895), is a dark fantasy that delves into themes of life, death, and redemption, showcasing MacDonald's narrative depth and allegorical mastery. His literary style often weaves rich, imaginative worlds with profound moral and spiritual insights. MacDonald's influence extended to C.S. Lewis who regarded him as his spiritual master, particularly evident when Lewis featured him as a character in 'The Great Divorce'. Though his works were not widely acclaimed during his lifetime, MacDonald's legacy endures, and he is credited with shaping the fantasy genre, leaving an indelible mark on literature with 'Lilith' as a significant staple in his bibliographic repertoire.
