Phantastes (1858) is a groundbreaking fantasy novel by Scottish author George MacDonald, often considered one of the earliest works of modern fantasy. The story follows a young man named Anodos, who stumbles into a magical, dreamlike world filled with mystical creatures, enchanted forests, and deep allegorical meaning. As Anodos embarks on his quest for self-discovery, he confronts inner darkness, beauty, and the nature of reality. This imaginative and symbolic tale profoundly influenced later writers, including C.S. Lewis and J.R.R. Tolkien, and remains a classic of fantasy literature.
