George MacDonald (1824-1905), scrittore e poeta scozzese, amico e mentore di Lewis Carroll, è ritenuto uno dei padri della letteratura fantasy, nonché ispiratore di autori come C.S. Lewis o J.R.R. Tolkien. Dopo essersi trasferito a Londra ed essere stato nominato pastore in una chiesa congregazionalista, iniziò a dedicarsi alla scrittura, in particolare di romanzi fantastici, alcuni dei quali divenuti autentici classici della letteratura per ragazzi, come La principessa e i goblin e Sulle ali del vento del Nord. Nel 1879, dopo aver lavorato come docente alla University of London e aver tenuto un ciclo di conferenze negli Stati Uniti, si trasferì con la famiglia in Italia, a Bordighera, dove rimase una ventina d'anni. Al volgere del secolo, duramente provato da una serie di lutti familiari, fece ritorno in Inghilterra, dove morì nel 1905.

LilithA Romance. E-book. Formato Mobipocket George Macdonald   -  Diamond Book Publishing, 2019  - 

It is the story of Mr. Vane, an orphan and heir to a large house -- a house in which he has a vision that leads him through a large old mirror into another world. In chronicling the five trips Mr. Vane makes to this other world, MacDonald hauntingly explores the ultimate mystery of evil. Lilith is a fantasy novel by Scottish writer George MacDonald, first published in 1895. It was reprinted in paperback by Ballantine Books as the fifth volume of the Ballantine Adult Fantasy series in September 1969. Lilith is considered among the darkest of MacDonald's works, and among the most profound. It is a story concerning the nature of life, death, and salvation. In the story, MacDonald mentions a cosmic sleep that heals tortured souls, preceding the salvation of all. MacDonald was a Christian universalist, believing that all will eventually be saved. However, in this story, divine punishment is not taken lightly, and salvation is hard-won.
