Malcolm - George Macdonald - Bog

""Malcolm"" by George MacDonald is a novel set in 16th-century Scotland. The story follows the life of the titular character, Malcolm, who is the son of a Scottish nobleman and an English mother. Malcolm is raised in England by his mother after his father dies, but he eventually returns to Scotland to reclaim his inheritance and take his place in society. Along the way, he meets a variety of characters, including a mysterious woman named Lady Florimel, who becomes his love interest. Malcolm also becomes involved in political intrigue and battles with his rival, the Earl of Glenvarloch. Throughout the novel, Malcolm struggles with his identity as both a Scotsman and an Englishman, and he must navigate the complex social and political landscape of Scotland during this time. The novel explores themes of identity, loyalty, love, and power, and is considered one of MacDonald's most significant works.But although he was no coxcomb, neither had fed himself on romances, as Lady Florimel had been doing of late, and although the laugh was quite honestly laughed at himself, it was nevertheless a bitter one. For again came the question: Why should an absurdity be a possibility? It was absurd, and yet possible: there was the point. In mathematics it was not so: there, of two opposites to prove one an absurdity, was to prove the other a fact. Neither in metaphysics was it so: there also an impossibility and an absurdity were one and the same thing. But here, in a region of infinitely more import to the human life than an eternity of mathematical truth, there was at least one absurdity which was yet inevitable.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
