About this Item

Lilith by George MacDonald (First US Edition) Bumping and rubbing to corners and spine ends with slight sunning to spine. First American edition with original light brown cloth with yellow and dark brown stamped lettering and decoration; 351 pages. "Vane, whose name hints something of his personality, passes through a mirror into another world which contains various spiritual qualities personified as individuals or groups. The land is a wounded land, and before it can thrive it needs the water of grace or life. Vane's guide, mentor, helper, and superior is a raven, who has two other aspects, that of an ancient librarian and that of Adam Cadmos--the first man as seen supernaturally and as typifying humanity. Vane, who follows his own selfish or thoughtless inclinations, is offered the gift of rebirth through death. He rejects it, and his unwillingness .to let the carnal man die causes him and others great pain" (Bleiler). Seller Inventory # HCX23564-1
