Robert Falconer is a novel written by Scottish author George MacDonald. It tells the story of a young Scottish boy named Robert Falconer who is raised by his grandfather, a strict Calvinist minister. Robert is a curious and intelligent boy who struggles with the teachings of his grandfather and seeks to understand the world around him.As Robert grows older, he becomes increasingly independent and begins to question the teachings of his grandfather. He develops a close friendship with a local doctor, who encourages him to pursue his own interests and passions. Robert becomes interested in poetry and literature, and begins to explore the world beyond his small Scottish town.Along the way, Robert faces many challenges and obstacles, including the death of his grandfather and his own struggles with faith and belief. Through it all, he remains determined to find his own path in life and to follow his own heart.Robert Falconer is a powerful and moving coming-of-age story that explores themes of faith, family, and the search for identity. With its vivid descriptions of Scottish life and culture, it is a timeless classic that continues to resonate with readers today.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.
