He longs for something more and sets out on a journey to discover his true purpose in life.Along the way, Malcolm encounters a variety of characters, both good and bad, who help to shape his worldview and teach him valuable lessons about life. He also falls in love with a beautiful young woman named Florimel, but their relationship is complicated by the fact that she is already engaged to another man.As Malcolm continues on his journey, he becomes embroiled in a political conspiracy and must use all of his wit and courage to navigate the dangerous waters of Scottish politics. Along the way, he learns about the true meaning of loyalty, friendship, and honor, and ultimately discovers his true purpose in life.""Malcolm"" is a beautifully written novel that explores themes of love, loyalty, and self-discovery. MacDonald's vivid descriptions of the Scottish landscape and his well-drawn characters make this a compelling read for anyone interested in historical fiction or coming-of-age stories.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.
