Robert Falconer (Translated): Scots-English Edition - George Macdonald

Detalii:

nGeorge MacDonalds masterpiece, unabridged and updated (2025) Scots-English editionn nn nRobert Falconer is one of the greatest novels by George MacDonald, the man whom C.S. Lewis called his master. In his preface, translator David Jack writes that Robert Falconer revolves around a twin-search by the hero: one after the prodigal earthly father whom he barely remembers to have seen, the other in pursuit of a Heavenly Father through the densest of theological fogs engendered by the well-meaning religious instruction of his Calvinist grannie...the odyssey left me spellbound, and here I found the essence of MacDonalds spiritual vision encapsulated in a soaring work of fiction (soaring like the notes of Roberts cherished violin): namely that Fatherhood is at the great worlds core.n nn nMacDonalds frequent use of Scots in the dialogue of many of his novels has posed a problem for many readers. This breakthrough edition of Robert Falconer presents the complete original text, but places English translations side-by-side with the Scots. It also features an introduction by best-selling author Michael Phillips, the worlds foremost expert on George MacDonald, along with fifteen original illustrations by artist Leighton Isaacs.n
