[Ballantine Adult Fantasy 05] • Lilith

In any time, the writing of George MacDonald would be remarkable, even brilliant. But for his own time, in his century, the depth of his inner vision is nothing less than extraordinary. Somewhere in this conservative ex-Minister of seemingly genial disposition there lurked a daemon of negation. LILITH is proof that he was able to express this in evocative and visionary prose for it is the tale of man in a nightmare, forever reaching for the unspeakably beautiful, eternally elusive dream.
