Reviews for Lilith - A Romance
271 ratings3 reviews
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5This story is steeped in lots of symbolism. Macdonald is a Christian Universalist and as such this story concerns the struggles of life, death and salvation. Being written in the late 1800s this is not an easy read but was well worth the effort.
- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5Similar in theme to Phantastes (redemption, selfless love through service) but more didactically, and treating explicitly biblical mythology. At times it does give some insight into the state of mystic rapture, and the zen idea of "beginner's mind" but on the whole less successfully than Phantastes.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Excellent imagery, very evocative. I highly recommend reading all of George MacDonald’s works!
