A Rough Shaking by George MacDonald is a novel that follows the story of a young man named Cosmo Warboise. Cosmo is a struggling writer who is trying to find his place in the world. He is torn between his desire to write and his need to make a living. In his quest to find success, Cosmo becomes involved with a group of Bohemian artists and intellectuals who challenge his beliefs and push him to the brink of insanity.As the story unfolds, Cosmo begins to question his own sanity and struggles to separate reality from illusion. He is haunted by the ghosts of his past and the demons of his present, and he must confront them head-on if he is to find peace.A Rough Shaking is a powerful and thought-provoking novel that explores the themes of identity, creativity, and mental illness. MacDonald's writing is poetic and evocative, and his characters are complex and nuanced. This book is a must-read for anyone who is interested in the human psyche and the creative process.The sight enhanced the wonder and hope of the two honest good souls in the treasure they carried. Out of the bosom of the skeleton Death himself, had been given them--into their very arms--a germ of life, a jewel of heaven! At the thought of what lay up the hill behind them, they felt their joy in the child almost wicked; but if God had taken the child's father and mother, might they not be glad in the hope that he had chosen them to replace them? That he had for the moment at least, they were bound to believe.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
