Description:Phantastes is the first of the modern fantasy novels, an important milestone in literary history and a great influence on modern writers: C. S. Lewis said that reading it had transformed his whole outlook. Its Victorian surface in no way detracts from the compelling tale which MacDonald has to tell, in which he shows a remarkably strong sense of the deeper layers of the mind, such as Freud and Jung were soon to explore; his work is no mere allegory, to be explained in terms of correspondences between the events in the story and those of the real world, but a creation of a new world with its own self-contained logic. MacDonald draws on traditional tales and half-familiar images, but the result is fresh and exciting even today: Phantastes is a 'fairy-tale for adults' and, like all good fairy-tales, it is above all a story, skilfully [sic] told.George MacDonald was born in 1824 in Aberdeenshire and made his living as a writer and lecturer in London: he is best remembered today for his children's stories, At the Back of the North Wind and The Princess and the Goblin. He died in 1905.[Description from back of the book.]We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
