Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

George MacDonald (1824-1905) was a Scottish novelist, poet, minister, and pioneering writer of fantasy whose work helped shape the modern tradition of imaginative literature. His fiction ranges from realistic Scottish novels to fairy tales, children's fantasy, spiritual romance, and visionary works concerned with faith, death, moral growth, divine love, and the transformation of the soul. MacDonald's influence on later fantasy is immense; writers including C. S. Lewis and J. R. R. Tolkien regarded him as a major predecessor in the development of Christian and mythic fantasy.MacDonald's best-known imaginative works include Phantastes, At the Back of the North Wind, The Princess and the Goblin, The Princess and Curdie, and Lilith. In these books, fantasy is not mere escape but a mode of spiritual exploration, using dream, fairy tale, symbol, and wonder to examine conscience, sacrifice, redemption, and the mystery of divine goodness. Lilith, first published in 1895, is among his darkest and most profound works, combining dream-vision, mythic fantasy, Christian symbolism, and a demanding vision of salvation.
