Lewis, among others, has secured his place in the annals of literary history.

'Malcolm' (1875), one of MacDonald's notable realist fiction, showcases his mastery in exploring complex moral and philosophical themes through rich characterization and pastoral settings. MacDonald's literary style is characterized by poetic prose, symbolism, and a deep examination of the human condition, elements that have attracted a diverse and enduring readership.
