abstract in English:
Telluric symbolism plays a crucial role in George MacDonald’s diptych addressed to the young reader. The meanings of mountains and underground caves are of major significance here. The chthonic space inhabited by fantastic creatures, the goblins, is a dangerous and frightening territory. The imagination of the Scottish writer, inspired - as indicated by scholars - partly by the German Romanticism, reveals fascination with the work of the miner and its spiritual - apart from purely physical - dimension (like in Novalis’s Henry von Ofterdingen). The child heroes, the princess and little miner, overcome their personal limitations and become victorious thanks to the strength coming from “the heart of Earth” and their own hearts.
