Lilith

Lilith, published in 1895, is a mystical fantasy novel by Scottish author George MacDonald. The story follows Mr. Vane, who journeys through a parallel, dreamlike world where he encounters symbolic figures such as Lilith, Adam, and Mara. The novel explores deep themes of death, redemption, free will, and spiritual awakening. With its rich symbolism and theological underpinnings, Lilith is considered one of MacDonald’s most profound and complex works, influencing writers such as C. S. Lewis and J. R. R. Tolkien.
