{"product_id":"phantastes-george-macdonald-9781515194200","title":"Phantastes","description":"Phantastes: A Faerie Romance for Men is a fantasy novel written by George MacDonald, first published in London in 1858. It was later reprinted in paperback by Ballantine Books as the fourteenth volume of the Ballantine Adult Fantasy series in April 1970. The story centres on the character Anodos (\"pathless\", or \"ascent\" in Greek) and takes its inspiration from German Romanticism, particularly Novalis. The story concerns a young man who is pulled into a dreamlike world and there hunts for his ideal of female beauty, embodied by the \"Marble Lady\". Anodos lives through many adventures and temptations while in the other world, until he is finally ready to give up his ideals. The edition published in 1905 was illustrated by Pre-Raphaelite painter Arthur Hughes.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e George MacDonald\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1515194205\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781515194200\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Createspace Independent Publishing Platform\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/22\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 102\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.35lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.02h x 5.98w x 0.24d","brand":"George MacDonald","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43985397055743,"sku":"9781515194200","price":8.17,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_436cbbfc-07d5-4254-b5b5-0e161745ffa5.jpg?v=1683277330","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/phantastes-george-macdonald-9781515194200","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
