Robert Falconer is a novel written by George MacDonald that tells the story of a young Scottish boy named Robert Falconer. The book follows Robert's life from his childhood in a small Scottish village to his time as a student at the University of Aberdeen. Along the way, Robert faces many challenges and struggles, including the death of his mother and his difficult relationship with his father, a strict Calvinist minister. Despite these obstacles, Robert remains determined to pursue his dreams of becoming a scholar and a writer. As he grows older, Robert becomes increasingly interested in theology and begins to question some of the traditional beliefs of his community. Along the way, he meets a variety of interesting characters, including a kind-hearted professor, a wealthy benefactor, and a beautiful young woman who captures his heart. Through it all, Robert remains true to himself and his ideals, even when it means going against the expectations of those around him. Ultimately, Robert's journey leads him to a deeper understanding of himself and his place in the world, as well as a greater appreciation for the power of love and faith.The other boys had tied Shargar's feet to the desk at which he sat--likewise his hands, at full stretch; then, having attached about a dozen strings to as many elf-locks of his pale-red hair, which was never cut or trimmed, had tied them to various pegs in the wall behind him, so that the poor fellow could not stir. They were now crushing up pieces of waste-paper, not a few leaves of stray school-books being regarded in that light, into bullets.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
