The Flight of the Shadow is a novel by the renowned Scottish author, George MacDonald. The story revolves around the life of a young man named Cosmo, who is haunted by a mysterious shadow that follows him wherever he goes. The shadow is a symbol of all the dark and negative aspects of his personality, which he has been suppressing for a long time.Cosmo is a wealthy and privileged young man, but he is deeply unhappy and dissatisfied with his life. He is engaged to a beautiful woman named Bertha, but he is not in love with her. Instead, he is drawn to a poor and simple girl named Lufa, who he meets by chance one day. Lufa is kind and compassionate, and she helps Cosmo to see the world in a different way.As Cosmo struggles to come to terms with his own inner demons, he embarks on a journey of self-discovery and spiritual awakening. He learns to confront his fears and insecurities, and he discovers the true meaning of love and happiness.The Flight of the Shadow is a powerful and thought-provoking novel that explores themes of identity, self-discovery, and the human condition. It is a timeless classic that continues to resonate with readers today.Softly the moon rose, round and full. There was still so much light in the sky that she made no sudden change, and for a moment I did not feel her presence or look up. In front of me, the high ground of the moor sank into a hollow, deeply indenting the horizon-line: the moon was rising just in the gap, and when I did look up, the lower edge of her disc was just clear of the earth, and the head of a man looking over the fence was in the middle of the great moon. It was like the head of a saint in a missal, girt with a halo of solid gold.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
