Lilith by George MacDonald is a dark, philosophical fantasy novel that explores themes of life, death, redemption, and spiritual awakening.
The story follows Mr. Vane, a young man who discovers a mysterious mirror in his ancestral home that leads him to a strange, dreamlike world. There, he meets enigmatic figures like the raven (who is also Adam from the Bible), the beautiful but dangerous Lilith, and the innocent, Christ-like figure of Lona. Vane undergoes a spiritual journey, grappling with questions about the nature of self, sin, and salvation.
Ultimately, the novel is an allegory about dying to the self in order to truly live. Lilith must relinquish her pride and hatred to find peace, and Vane must embrace humility and love to find meaning. The book blends Christian mysticism, fantasy, and metaphysical philosophy in a rich and challenging narrative.
