Phantastes

Author: Macdonald, George
Labeled as a faerie romance for men and women to which it is in fact, is. Much of the story reads as an clever allegory. The style of writing is highly literary – that 19th century flowery style that can be a bit dense at times and will take some getting used to. But if you want to read a phenomenal literary work of high fantasy that combines a lyrical composition of prose with a spiritual nature to the story quest, one that will bring about some deep enlightenment as you progress through book, read it. For some this book might be boring, but for those willing to commit to the prose and read deeply into what’s going on, there is an spiritually enlightening and quite touching read to be found here.
