Lilith by George MacDonald.
Lilith is a dark, allegorical fantasy novel by Scottish author George MacDonald, first published in 1895, about a man named Mr. Vane who travels through a mirror into a multi-dimensional world where he encounters biblical figures like Adam and the mythical Lilith, exploring themes of good vs. evil, life, death, and salvation through a Christian universalist lens. Considered a masterpiece of visionary fiction, it's known for its rich symbolism, psychological depth, and influence on later fantasy writers like C.S. Lewis and J.R.R. Tolkien.

Key aspects of the novel:
- Plot: Mr. Vane follows a raven through a mirror into a strange world, encountering a vampire-like princess (Lilith) and other beings, leading him on a spiritual journey of self-discovery and redemption.
- Themes: It delves into profound Christian themes, including the nature of evil, the struggle for salvation, free will, and the idea that all souls will eventually be saved (Christian universalism).
- Style: It's a complex, dreamlike narrative filled with rich imagery, symbolic characters (like the "Little Ones"), and a sense of spiritual quest, often compared to MacDonald's earlier work Phantastes.
- Significance: It is considered one of MacDonald's most profound and darkest works, a culmination of his literary career, and a major influence on the fantasy genre.
