George Macdonald Robert Falconer (Translated): Scots-English Edition N/A Book

George MacDonalds masterpiece, unabridged and updated (2025) ScotsEnglish editionRobert 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 twinsearch 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 wellmeaning 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."MacDonalds 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 sidebyside with the Scots. It also features an introduction by bestselling author Michael Phillips, the worlds foremost expert on George MacDonald, along with fifteen original illustrations by artist Leighton Isaacs. | George Macdonald Robert Falconer (Translated): Scots-English Edition N/A Book
