Sinopsis

Lilitháis aáfantasy noveláby Scottish writeráGeorge MacDonald, first published in 1895. It was reprinted in paperback byáBallantine Booksáas the fifth volume of theáBallantine Adult Fantasy seriesáin September 1969.Lilitháis considered among the darkest of MacDonaldâÇÖs works, and among the most profound. It is a story concerning the nature ofálife,ádeath, andásalvation. In the story, MacDonald mentions a cosmic sleep that heals tortured souls, preceding the salvation of all. MacDonald was aáChristian universalist, believing that all will eventually be saved. However, in this story, divine punishment is not taken lightly, and salvation is hard-won.Mr. Vane, theáprotagonistáofáLilith, owns a library that seems to be haunted by the former librarian, who looks much like aáravenáfrom the brief glimpses he catches of theáwraith. After finally encountering the supposedághost, the mysterious Mr. Raven, Vane learns that Raven had known his father, indeed, VaneâÇÖs father had visited the strangeáparallel universeáfrom which Raven comes and goes and now resides therein. Vane follows Raven into the world through a mirror (this symbolistic realm is described as 'the region of the sevenádimensions', a term taken fromáJacob Boehme).Inside the world, Vane learns of a house of beds where the dreamers sleep until the end of the world in death: a good death, in which life is found. VaneâÇÖs grandfather refused to sleep there and is, instead, forced to do battle with skeletons in a haunted wood. After a treacherous journey through a valley (where the moon is the only thing to keep him safe), Mr. Vane meets the Little Ones, children who never grow up, remaining pure children or becoming selfish and getting bigger and dumber, turning into 'bags' or bad giants. After conversing with Lona, the eldest of the children, Mr. Vane decides to help them, and sets off to gather more information, although the Raven (who is also Adam) has warned Mr. Vane that he needs to sleep along with the dreamers before he can really help them.
