{"product_id":"2940013437906","title":"Phantastes, A Faerie Romance for Men and Women","description":"The story centres on the character Anodos (\"pathless\" or \"ascent\" in Greek) and takes its inspiration from German \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRomanticism, particularly Novalis. The story concerns a young man who is pulled into a dreamlike world and there \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ehunts for his ideal of female beauty, embodied by the \"Marble Lady\". Anodos lives through many adventures and \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003etemptations while in the other world, until he is finally ready to give up his ideals.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eC.S. Lewis wrote, concerning his first reading of Phantastes at age sixteen, \"That night my imagination was, in a \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ecertain sense, baptized; the rest of me, not unnaturally, took longer. I had not the faintest notion what I had \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003elet myself in for by buying Phantastes.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA biography about MacDonald and other annotated notes are also included in this book.","brand":"Golgotha Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47082888691952,"sku":"2940013437906","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940013437906_p0.jpg?v=1763581366","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940013437906","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
