{ "item_title" : "Phantastes", "item_author" : [" George MacDonald "], "item_description" : "Phantastes is a novel by George MacDonald that was first published in 1858. The book tells the story of Anodos, a young man who embarks on a journey into a fantastical world where he encounters various magical creatures and experiences a series of surreal adventures. Along the way, Anodos falls in love with a fairy princess and confronts his own inner demons and fears. MacDonald's writing style is poetic and dreamlike, and the book explores themes of love, death, and the search for meaning in life. Phantastes is considered a classic of Victorian fantasy literature and has influenced many other writers in the genre, including C.S. Lewis and J.R.R. Tolkien.Its height I could not distinctly see. As soon as I entered, I had the feeling so common to me in the woods, that there were others there besides myself, though I could see no one, and heard no sound to indicate a presence. Since my visit to the Church of Darkness, my power of seeing the fairies of the higher orders had gradually diminished, until it had almost ceased. But I could frequently believe in their presence while unable to see them. Still, although I had company, and doubtless of a safe kind, it seemed rather dreary to spend the night in an empty marble hall, however beautiful, especially as the moon was near the going down, and it would soon be dark. So I began at the place where I entered, and walked round the hall, looking for some door or passage that might lead me to a more hospitable chamber.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
