Far Above Rubies is a novel written by George MacDonald, a Scottish author, poet, and Christian minister. The story follows the life of a young woman named Lilith, who is born into a wealthy family but is unhappy with her life. Lilith feels unfulfilled by her privileged existence and yearns for something more meaningful. As she grows older, she becomes increasingly disillusioned with the superficiality of her social circle and begins to question the values of the society she lives in. Lilith's journey takes her on a spiritual quest, as she seeks to find a deeper understanding of herself and the world around her. Along the way, she encounters a variety of characters, including a wise old woman who teaches her about the power of love and compassion, and a group of outcasts who challenge her preconceptions about social status and worth. Throughout the novel, MacDonald explores themes of love, faith, and the search for meaning in life. He also critiques the materialistic values of his contemporary society, arguing that true happiness and fulfillment cannot be found in wealth and status alone. Far Above Rubies is a thought-provoking and spiritually rich novel that continues to resonate with readers today. MacDonald's lyrical prose and insightful observations make this a timeless work of literature.Again without waiting to think, and only afterwards waking up to the fact and meaning of what she had done, she turned, went back to the entry-door, and knocked. It was almost suddenly opened by the cook, and at once the storm of her misery was assuaged in a rising moon of hope, and the night became light about her. Ah, through what miseries are not even frail hopes our best and safest, our only true guides indeed, into other and yet fairer hopes!This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
