A Cadeira de Prata (As crônicas de Nárnia, #6)
C.S. Lewis
"Como se chega até lá?", perguntou Jill, tentando encontrar um jeito qualquer de fugir daquela escola horrível. "Do único modo possível", sussurrou Eustáquio, "por magia". Então deram-se as mãos e, concentrando toda a sua força de vontade para que algo acontecesse, viram-se de repente à beira de um alto precipício, muito acima das nuvens, na terra encantada de Nárnia. Assustada e confusa, Jill fica horrorizada ao ver Eustáquio perder o equilíbrio e cair. Imediatamente, porém, ela sente ao seu lado uma presença calorosa. Era o Leão.
A Grief Observed
C.S. Lewis
Written with love, humility, and faith, this brief but poignant volume was first published in 1961 and concerns the death of C. S. Lewis's wife, the American-born poet Joy Davidman. In her introduction to this new edition, Madeleine L'Engle writes: "I am grateful to Lewis for having the courage to yell, to doubt, to kick at God in angry violence. This is a part of a healthy grief which is not often encouraged. It is helpful indeed that C. S. Lewis, who has been such a successful apologist for Christianity, should have the courage to admit doubt about what he has so superbly proclaimed. It gives us permission to admit our own doubts, our own angers and anguishes, and to know that they are part of the soul's growth."
Written in longhand in notebooks that Lewis found in his home, A Grief Observed probes the "mad midnight moments" of Lewis's mourning and loss, moments in which he questioned what he had previously believed about life and death, marriage, and even God. Indecision and self-pity assailed Lewis. "We are under the harrow and can't escape," he writes. "I know that the thing I want is exactly the thing I can never get. The old life, the jokes, the drinks, the arguments, the lovemaking, the tiny, heartbreaking commonplace." Writing A Grief Observed as "a defense against total collapse, a safety valve," he came to recognize that "bereavement is a universal and integral part of our experience of love."
Lewis writes his statement of faith with precision, humor, and grace. Yet neither is Lewis reluctant to confess his continuing doubts and his awareness of his own human frailty. This is precisely the quality which suggests that A Grief Observed may become "among the great devotional books of our age."
A Grief Observed: Readers' Edition
C.S. Lewis
In April 1956, C.S. Lewis, author of The Chronicles of Narnia, married Joy Davidman, an American poet with two small children. After four intensely happy years, Davidman died of cancer and Lewis found himself alone again, and inconsolable.
In response, he wrote this journal, freely confessing his pain, rage, and struggle to sustain his faith. In it he finds the way back to life. Now a modern classic, A Grief Observed has offered solace and insight to countless readers worldwide.
This new edition includes the original text of A Grief Observed alongside specially commissioned responses to the book and its themes from respected contemporary writers and thinkers: Hilary Mantel, Jessica Martin, Jenna Bailey, Rowan Williams, Kate Saunders, Francis Spufford and Maureen Freely.
Além do Planeta Silencioso (Trilogia cósmica, #1)
C.S. Lewis
Written during the dark hours immediately before and during the Second World War, C. S. Lewis's Space Trilogy, of which Out of the Silent Planet is the first volume, stands alongside such works as Albert Camus's The Plague and George Orwell's 1984 as a timely parable that has become timeless, beloved by succeeding generations as much for the sheer wonder of its storytelling as for the significance of the moral concerns. For the trilogy's central figure, C. S. Lewis created perhaps the most memorable character of his career, the brilliant, clear-eyed, and fiercely brave philologist Dr. Elwin Ransom. Appropriately, Lewis modeled Dr. Ransom after his dear friend J. R. R. Tolkien, for in the scope of its imaginative achievement and the totality of its vision of not one but two imaginary worlds, the Space Trilogy is rivaled in this century only by Tolkien's trilogy The Lord of the Rings. Readers who fall in love with Lewis's fantasy series The Chronicles of Namia as children unfailingly cherish his Space Trilogy as adults; it, too, brings to life strange and magical realms in which epic battles are fought between the forces of light and those of darkness. But in the many layers of its allegory, and the sophistication and piercing brilliance of its insights into the human condition, it occupies a place among the English language's most extraordinary works for any age, and for all time. Out of the Silent Planet introduces Dr. Ransom and chronicles his abduction by a megalomaniacal physicist and his accomplice via space ship to the planet Malacandra. The two men are in need of a human sacrifice and Dr. Ransom would seem to fit the bill. Dr. Ransom escapes upon landing, though, and goes on the run, a stranger in a land that, like Jonathan Swift's Lilliput, is enchanting in its difference from Earth and instructive in its similarity.
An Experiment in Criticism
C.S. Lewis
Why do we read literature and how do we judge it? C.S. Lewis's classic analysis springs from the conviction that literature exists for the joy of the reader and that books should be judged by the kind of reading they invite. Crucial to his notion of judging literature is a commitment to laying aside expectations and values extraneous to the work, in order to approach it with an open mind.

A Truth Universally Acknowledged: 33 Great Writers on Why We Read Jane Austen
C.S. Lewis
Why are we so fascinated with Jane Austen’s novels? Why is Austen so universally beloved? The essayists in this volume offer their thoughts on the delightful puzzle of Austen’s popularity. Classic and contemporary writers—novelists, essayists, journalists, scholars, and a filmmaker—discuss the tricks and treasures of Austen’s novels, from her witty dialogue, to the arc and sweep of her story lines, to her prescriptions for life and love. Virginia Woolf examines Austen’s maturation as an artist and speculates on how her writing would have changed had she lived another twenty years, while Anna Quindlen examines the enduring issues of social pressure and gender politics that make Pride and Prejudice as vital today as ever. From Harold Bloom to Martin Amis, Somerset Maugham to Jay McInerney, Eudora Welty to Amy Bloom, each writer reflects on Austen’s place in both the literary canon and our cultural imagination.

Departe de planeta tăcută (Trilogia Cosmică, #1)
C.S. Lewis
Amețea la gândul adevăratei populații a universului, la infinitudinea tridimensională a dimensiunilor sale și la eonii neconsemnați în nicio cronică a trecutului lor.
Un fizician megaloman și complicele său îl răpesc pe profesorul Ransom și-l transportă cu o navă spațială pe planeta Malacandra. Cei doi intenționează jefuirea planetei și oferirea unui sacrificiu uman, iar Ransom pare să se potrivească perfect scopului lor. Însă, odată ajuns la destinație, profesorul scapă de răpitori și întâlnește trei specii de făpturi inteligente. Ransom descoperă că Pământul este cunoscut ca "planeta tăcută", a cărei poveste tragică este cunoscută în tot universul.
Acum, cu o certitudine ce nu-l mai părăsi, văzu planetele ca simple goluri în cerul viu, pustiuri de materie și aer excluse, formate nu prin adăugare la strălucirea din jur, ci prin scăderea din ea. Și totuși, se gândi, strălucirea se termină dincolo de sistemul solar. Acela este oare adevăratul vid, adevărata moarte?

Diario di un dolore
C.S. Lewis
Il dolore puro è difficile da raccontare. Ma qui qualcuno ci è riuscito, con una precisione e un’onestà che ci lasciano ammirati, arricchiti. Questo è un libro che riguarda da vicino chiunque abbia avuto nella sua vita un dolore. C.S. Lewis pubblicò nel 1961, sotto lo pseudonimo di N.W. Clerk, questo breve libro che racconta la sua reazione alla morte della moglie. Illustre medioevalista e amatissimo romanziere, amico di Tolkien e come lui dedito alle incursioni nel fantastico, C.S. Lewis si è sempre dichiarato innanzitutto uno scrittore cristiano. Ma un cristiano duro, nemico di ogni facile consolazione. E ciò apparirà immediatamente in questo libro perfetto, dove l’urto della morte è subìto in tutta la sua violenza, fino a scuotere ogni fede. Non c’è traccia di compiacimento o di compatimento per se stessi. C’è invece un’osservazione lucida, che registra le sensazioni, i movimenti dell’animo che appartengono al segreto di ciascuno di noi – e che spesso non vogliamo riconoscere.
Die Chroniken von Narnia
C.S. Lewis
Journeys to the end of the world, fantastic creatures, and epic battles between good and evil—what more could any reader ask for in one book? The book that has it all is The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, written in 1949 by Clive Staples Lewis. But Lewis did not stop there. Six more books followed, and together they became known as The Chronicles of Narnia.
For the past fifty years, The Chronicles of Narnia have transcended the fantasy genre to become part of the canon of classic literature. Each of the seven books is a masterpiece, drawing the reader into a land where magic meets reality, and the result is a fictional world whose scope has fascinated generations.
This edition presents all seven books—unabridged—in one impressive volume. The books are presented here in chronlogical order, each chapter graced with an illustration by the original artist, Pauline Baynes. Deceptively simple and direct, The Chronicles of Narnia continue to captivate fans with adventures, characters, and truths that speak to readers of all ages, even fifty years after they were first published.

Four Loves
C.S. Lewis
"We need others physically, emotionally, intellectually; we need them if we are to know anything, even ourselves."
We hear often that love is patient and kind, not envious or prideful. We hear that human love is a reflection of divine love. We hear that God is love. But how do we understand its work in our lives, its perils and rewards? Here, the incomparable C. S. Lewis examines human love in four forms: affection, the most basic, general, and emotive; friendship, the most rare, least jealous, and, in being freely chosen, perhaps the most profound; Eros, passionate love that can run counter to happiness and poses real danger; charity, the greatest, most spiritual, and least selfish. Proper love is a risk, but to bar oneself from it--to deny love--is a damning choice. Love is a need and a gift; love brings joy and laughter. We must seek to be awakened and so to find an Appreciative love through which "all things are possible."
"The Four Loves deserves to become a minor classic as a modern mirror of our souls, a mirror of the virtues and failings of human loving." —New York Times Book Review
"Lewis has a keen eye, a large measure of human sympathy, wit, and a command of simple words." —Times Literary Supplement
C. S. (Clive Staples) Lewis (1898-1963), one of the great writers of the twentieth century, also continues to be one of our most influential Christian thinkers. He wrote more than thirty books, both popular and scholarly, including The Chronicles of Narnia series, The Screwtape Letters, The Four Loves, Mere Christianity, and Surprised by Joy.
God in the Dock: Essays on Theology and Ethics
C.S. Lewis
"Lewis struck me as the most thoroughly converted man I ever met," observes Walter Hooper in the preface to this collection of essays by C. S. Lewis. "His whole vision of life was such that the natural and the supernatural seemed inseparably combined."It is precisely this pervasive Christianity which is demonstrated in the forty-eight essays comprising God in the Dock. Here Lewis addresses himself both to theological questions and to those which Hooper terms "semi-theological," or ethical. But whether he is discussing "Evil and God," "Miracles," "The Decline of Religion," or "The Humanitarian Theory of Punishment," his insight and observations are thoroughly and profoundly Christian. Drawn from a variety of sources, the essays were designed to meet a variety of needs, and among other accomplishments they serve to illustrate the many different angles from which we are able to view the Christian religion. They range from relatively popular pieces written for newspapers to more learned defenses of the faith which first appeared in The Socratic Digest. Characterized by Lewis's honesty and realism, his insight and conviction, and above all his thoroughgoing commitments to Christianity, these essays make God in the Dock very much a book for our time.

C.S. Lewis
Als Digory samen met zijn buurmeisje Polly per ongeluk op de kamer van zijn oom Andrew komt, begint het grootste avontuur van hun leven. Oom Andrew is een tovenaar en wil zijn kunsten wel eens op Digory en Polly uitproberen. Ze komen terecht in vreemde werelden en uiteindelijk ook in Narnia.

Maar ze hebben ook - tegen hun zin - de slechte koningin Jadis naar Narnia meegenomen, een kwaad dat niet zonder gevolgen zal blijven...
Il leone, la strega e l'armadio
C.S. Lewis
Peter, Susan, Edmund e Lucy sono sfollati in campagna: c'è la guerra, e là saranno più al sicuro che a Londra. E quante sorprese li aspettano, nella grande casa che li ospita! La più straordinaria è senz'altro un immenso armadio che sembra fatto apposta per nascondercisi dentro, e che in realtà è una "porta" per entrare in un altro mondo, dove gli animali parlano e nessun incantesimo è impossibile. Così i quattro ragazzi si ritrovano all'improvviso in un luogo tutto bianco di neve, dominato dalla malvagia volontà di una strega che ha cancellato le stagioni e trasformato in statue i suoi nemici, mutando il felice regno di Narnia in una landa desolata. Ma per fortuna c'è qualcuno che può rimettere le cose a posto...
Il nipote del mago
C.S. Lewis
Quando Polly e il suo nuovo amico Digory decidono di esplorare la soffitta di zio Andrew, non sospettano certo che quest'ultimo sia un mago e, soprattutto, non sanno ancora di aver intrapreso un lungo e straodinario viaggio tra foreste incantate e città misteriose. Grazie al potere di un anello magico verranno infatti proiettati nella terra della perfida strega Jadis e poi nella meravigliosa Narnia, dove gli animali parlano, i cavalli volano e il saggio leone Aslan amministra la giustizia; e intanto, insieme al cavallo Piumino dovranno fare i conti con le insidie della strega, decisa a diventare imperatrice del mondo, e con la difficile ricerca di una magica mela capace di restituire la salute alla madre di Digory...

Ma il giovane principe è deciso a lottare e a guidare la riscossa del popolo nascosto per riportare la pace nel regno. E solo i quattro ragazzi che un tempo erano stati saggi sovrani di Narnia possono aiutarlo nella battaglia contro il tiranno.

Le cronache di Narnia
C.S. Lewis
Scritto nel 1950 da C.S. Lewis, Il leone, la strega e l'armadio inaugurò la serie dei sette volumi che sarebbero divenuti celebri come Le Cronache di Narnia. Un libro che trascende il genere fantasy, ormai riconosciuto tra i classici della letteratura inglese del Novecento. C.S. Lewis lo scrisse con la dichiarata intenzione di rivolgersi ai bambini, ma non solo a loro. Era convinto, infatti, che "un libro non merita di essere letto a dieci anni se non merita di essere letto anche a cinquanta". E questi romanzi conquistano davvero i lettori di ogni età con i loro personaggi, con il ritmo incalzante, ma anche per l'insolito spessore che tradisce l'immensa cultura di un autentico scrittore, noto medievalista dell'Università di Oxford. In questa edizione i vari libri che compongono Le cronache di Narnia sono nell'ordine definitivo, in cui li mise C.S. Lewis.

Lontano dal pianeta silenzioso
C.S. Lewis
Oxford, 1937: nell’appartamento di C.S. Lewis al Magdalen College, J.R.R. Tolkien e il padrone di casa leggono a un gruppetto di amici che si riuniscono regolarmente il giovedì sera alcuni capitoli dei romanzi che stanno scrivendo: Il Signore degli Anelli e Lontano dal pianeta silenzioso. Le due grandi saghe fantastiche sono infatti nate e cresciute in parallelo – e come fondandosi su una stessa constatazione: «Ho paura» aveva detto C.S. Lewis a Tolkien «che se vogliamo leggere storie come piacciono a noi, dovremo scrivercele». Le storie che piacciono a Lewis sono quelle in cui l’invenzione del narratore e la passione dialettica dell’apologeta si combinano per dare vita a una sorta di mito moderno. Lontano dal pianeta silenzioso racconta l’avventura di Elwin Ransom, professore di filologia in vacanza, che due scienziati rapiscono per un loro losco disegno e trasportano sul pianeta Malacandra. Sfuggito ai rapitori il giorno stesso dello sbarco, solo in un mondo dalle tinte di acquerello, dove le foreste sono labirinti di fragili steli violetti alti dodici metri, Ransom incontra Hyoi, del popolo dei hrossa, agricoltori e poeti dal nero corpo lucente, e gli altri abitanti del pianeta: gli altissimi e sapientissimi sorn e i pfifltriggi simili a ranocchi, maestri di tutte le arti della pietra e del metallo. Scoprendo, con il loro aiuto, i segreti del pianeta Malacandra, Ransom scoprirà anche il segreto della Terra, il «pianeta silenzioso» che da millenni ha cessato di conversare con gli altri mondi. Lontano dal pianeta silenzioso (1938), già apparso in Italia nel 1951, viene qui riproposto in una nuova traduzione.

Mere Christianity
C.S. Lewis
Mere Christianity is C.S. Lewis's forceful and accessible doctrine of Christian belief. First heard as informal radio broadcasts and then published as three separate books — The Case for Christianity, Christian Behavior, and Beyond Personality — Mere Christianity brings together what Lewis saw as the fundamental truths of the religion.
Rejecting the boundaries that divide Christianity's many denominations, C.S. Lewis finds a common ground on which all those who have Christian faith can stand together, proving that "at the centre of each there is something, or a Someone, who against all divergences of belief, all differences of temperament, all memories of mutual persecution, speaks the same voice."

A masterpiece of satire, The Screwtape Letters has entertained and enlightened readers the world over with its sly and ironic portrayal of human life and foibles from the vantage point of Screwtape, a highly placed assistant to "Our Father Below."

On Stories: And Other Essays on Literature
C.S. Lewis
“In life and art both, as it seems to me, we are always trying to catch in our net of successive moments something that is not successive . . . But I think it is sometimes done—or very, very nearly done—in stories.”
C.S. Lewis is widely known for his fiction, especially his stories of science fiction and fantasy, for which he was a pioneering author in an age of realistic fiction. In On Stories , he lays out his theories and philosophy on fiction over the course of nine essays, including “On Stories,” “The Death of Words,” and “On Three Ways of Writing for Children.” In addition to these essays, On Stories collects eleven pieces of Lewis’s writing that were unpublished during his lifetime. Along with discussing his own fiction, Lewis reviewed and critiqued works by many of his famous peers, including George Orwell, Charles Williams, Rider Haggard, and his good friend J.R.R. Tolkien, providing a wide-ranging look at what fiction means and how to craft it from one of the masters of his day.

C.S. Lewis
Four children are sitting on a railway station waiting to go back to their boarding schools, when they are suddenly tugged, by magic, into the land of Narnia. But Peter, Susan, Edmund, and Lucy find the country where they had once ruled as kings and queens (in The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe) has fallen on bad times. A state of civil war has been declared, all the animals, trees, and dwarfs have been banished, and young Prince Caspian is desperately trying to regain his throne and restore Narnia to its ancient glory. The children have been recalled to help him, and of course the awesome figure of Aslan the Lion eventually turns up to show them the right way to victory.
But this is more than just an adventure story, it is a journey into a marvellously mysterious world where the children, and the readers, discover almost as many interesting things about themselves as they do about the people they meet there.

Princ Kaspijan (Letopisi Narnije, #4)

Screwtape Letters
C.S. Lewis
A masterpiece of satire, this classic has entertained and enlightened readers the world over with its sly and ironic portrayal of human life from the vantage point of Screwtape, a senior tempter in the service of "Our Father Below." At once wildly comic, deadly serious, and strikingly original, C. S.

The notes include literary, theological, and biographical information to enhance Lewis's core themes and demystify complex ideas.

Sfaturile unui diavol bătrân către unul mai tânăr, unde spre sfârșit Sfredelin propune o închinare
C.S. Lewis
Despre viața unui om angajat religios se vorbește de obicei din perspectivă înaltă, din perspectiva reperelor lui morale și spirituale. C. S. Lewis, distins universitar englez, e un creștin dotat cu realism și umor; el alege cealaltă perspectivă: cum se vede viața unui om din unghiul diavolului care îl are în grijă, care trebuie să îl achiziționeze drept hrană pentru infern? Cartea joacă pe competența psihologică a diavolilor, pe priceperea de a folosi măruntele noastre slăbiciuni, de fiecare zi, suficiente pentru a ne face deseori surzi la glasul Celuilalt. Cu toate astea, la capătul cărții și al unei vieți duse cu onestitate și cu atenție spirituală, eroul anonim îl întâlnește, discret si simplu, pe Celălalt.

Space Trilogy: Out of the Silent Planet / Perelandra / That Hideous Strength
C.S. Lewis
The Cosmic Trilogy relates the interplanetary travels of Ransom, C.S. Lewis's ill-informed and terrified victim who leaves Earth much against his will and who, in the first book of the trilogy, Out of the Silent Planet, published by the Bodley Head in 1938, encounters the imaginary and delightful world of Macalandra. In the second book, Perelandra (1943), Ransom is transported to a world of sweet smells and delicious tastes, a new Garden of Eden in which is enacted, with a difference, the story of Temptation. That Hideous Strength (1945) completes the trilogy and finds Dr Ransom returned from his travels in space and living in an English university town - where the Senior Common Room is given a mysterious depth, a more than earthly dimension which such things, in the author's view, always have in life.
C.S. Lewis believed that popular science was the new mythology of his age, and in The Cosmic Trilogy he ransacks the uncharted territory of space and makes that mythology the medium of his spiritual imagination.

Studies in Words (Canto)
C.S. Lewis
Language - in its communicative and playful functions, its literary formations and its shifting meanings - is a perennially fascinating topic. C. S. Lewis's Studies in Words explores this fascination by taking a series of words and teasing out their connotations using examples from a vast range of English literature, recovering lost meanings and analysing their functions. It doubles as an absorbing and entertaining study of verbal communication, its pleasures and problems. The issues revealed are essential to all who read and communicate thoughtfully, and are handled here by a masterful exponent and analyst of the English language.
Suprised By Joy (The Shape of My Early Life)
C.S. Lewis
In this book, C.S. Lewis tells of his search for joy, a spiritual journey that led him from the Christianity of his early youth into atheism and then back to Christianity.
Surprised by Joy
C.S. Lewis
Surprised by Joy (C S Lewis Signature Classic)
Surprised by Joy: The Shape of My Early Life
C.S. Lewis
Surprised by Joy: The Shape of My Early Life is a partial autobiography describing Lewis' conversion to Christianity. The book overall contains less detail concerning specific events than typical autobiographies. This is because his purpose in writing wasn't primarily historical. His aim was to identify & describe the events surrounding his accidental discovery of & consequent search for the phenomenon he labelled "Joy". This word was the best translation he could make of the German idea of Sehnsucht, longing. That isn't to say the book is devoid of information about his life. He recounts his early years with a measure of amusement sometimes mixed with pain.
However, while he does describe his life, the principal theme of the book is Joy as he defined it. This Joy was a longing so intense for something so good & so high up it couldn't be explained with words. He's struck with "stabs of joy" throughout life. He finally finds what it's for at the end. He writes about his experiences at Malvern College in 1913, aged 15. Though he described the school as "a very furnace of impure loves" he defended the practice as being "the only chink left thru which something spontaneous & uncalculating could creep in." The book's last two chapters cover the end of his search as he moves from atheism to theism & then from theism to Christianity. He ultimately discovers the true nature & purpose of Joy & its place in his own life.
The book isn't connected with his unexpected marriage in later life to Joy Gresham. The marriage occurred long after the period described, though not long after the book was published. His friends were quick to notice the coincidence, remarking he'd really been "Surprised by Joy". "Surprised by Joy" is also an allusion to Wordsworth's poem, "Surprised by Joy-Impatient As The Wind", relating an incident when Wordsworth forgot the death of his beloved daughter.
That Hideous Strength (The Space Trilogy, #3)
C.S. Lewis
The third novel in the science-fiction trilogy by C.S. Lewis. This final story is set on Earth, and tells of a terrifying conspiracy against humanity.
The story surrounds Mark and Jane Studdock, a newly married couple. Mark is a Sociologist who is enticed to join an organisation called N.I.C.E. which aims to control all human life. His wife, meanwhile, has bizarre prophetic dreams about a decapitated scientist, Alcasan. As Mark is drawn inextricably into the sinister organisation, he discovers the truth of his wife’s dreams when he meets the literal head of Alcasan which is being kept alive by infusions of blood.
Jane seeks help concerning her dreams at a community called St Anne’s, where she meets their leader – Dr Ransom (the main character of the previous two titles in the trilogy). The story ends in a final spectacular scene at the N.I.C.E. headquarters where Merlin appears to confront the powers of Hell.

Clear and Compelling Reasoning From the Master Apologist First delivered as an informal radio address during World War II to bring hope to an embattled public, "The Case for Christianity" is C.S. Lewis's artful and compelling argument for the reasonableness of Christian faith. Dividing his case into two parts, "Right and Wrong as a Clue to the Meaning of the Universe" and "What Christians Believe", Lewis uses all the powers of his formidable wit and logic and the strength of his convictions to shed light on this most important subject.

The Collected Letters of C.S. Lewis, Volume 1: Family Letters, 1905-1931
C.S. Lewis
The life and mind of C. S. Lewis have fascinated those who have read his works. This collection of his personal letters reveals a unique intellectual journey. The first of a three-volume collection, this volume contains letters from Lewis's boyhood, his army days in World War I, and his early academic life at Oxford. Here we encounter the creative, imaginative seeds that gave birth to some of his most famous works. At age sixteen, Lewis begins writing to Arthur Greeves, a boy his age in Belfast who later becomes one of his most treasured friends. Their correspondence would continue over the next fifty years. In his letters to Arthur, Lewis admits that he has abandoned the Christian faith. "I believe in no religion," he says. "There is absolutely no proof for any of them." Shortly after arriving at Oxford, Lewis is called away to war. Quickly wounded, he returns to Oxford, writing home to describe his thoughts and feelings about the horrors of war as well as the early joys of publication and academic success. In 1929 Lewis writes to Arthur of a friend ship that was to greatly influence his life and writing. "I was up till 2:30 on Monday talking to the Anglo-Saxon professor Tolkien who came back with me to College ... and sat discoursing of the gods and giants & Asgard for three hours ..." Gradually, as Lewis spends time with Tolkien and other friends, he admits in his letters to a change of view on religion. In 1930 he writes, "Whereas once I would have said, 'Shall I adopt Christianity', I now wait to see whether it will adopt me ..." The Collected Letters of C. S. Lewis, Volume I offers an inside perspective to Lewis's thinking during his formative years. Walter Hooper's insightful notes and biographical appendix of all the correspondents make this an irreplaceable reference for those curious about the life and work of one of the most creative minds of the modern era.

God in the Dock contains forty-eight essays and twelve letters that cover topics as varied as the logic of theism, good and evil, miracles, and ethics. And in Christian Reflections, he addresses Christianity and literature, Christianity and culture, petitionary prayer, modern theology, and biblical criticism.

The Discarded Image: An Introduction to Medieval and Renaissance Literature
C.S. Lewis
C.S. Lewis' The Discarded Image paints a lucid picture of the medieval world view, as historical and cultural background to the literature of the Middle Ages and Renaissance. It describes the "image" discarded by later ages as "the medieval synthesis itself, the whole organization of their theology, science and history into a single, complex, harmonious mental model of the universe."

John s pursuit of this desire takes him through adventures with such people as Mr. Enlightenment, Media Halfways, Mr. Mammon, Mother Kirk, Mr. Sensible, and Mr. Humanist and through such cities as Thrill and Eschropolis as well as the Valley of Humiliation.Though the dragons and giants here are different from those in Bunyan s Pilgrim s Progress, Lewis s allegory performs the same function of enabling the author to say simply and through fantasy what would otherwise have demanded a full-length philosophy of religion.

Till We Have Faces
C.S. Lewis
In this timeless tale of two mortal princesses- one beautiful and one unattractive- C.S. Lewis reworks the classical myth of Cupid and Psyche into an enduring piece of contemporary fiction. This is the story of Orual, Psyche's embittered and ugly older sister, who posessively and harmfully loves Psyche. Much to Orual's frustration, Psyche is loved by Cupid, the god of love himself, setting the troubled Orual on a path of moral development.
Set against the backdrop of Glome, a barbaric, pre-Christian world, the struggles between sacred and profane love are illuminated as Orual learns that we cannot understand the intent of the gods "till we have faces" and sincerity in our souls and selves.
Till We Have Faces: A Myth Retold
C.S. Lewis
A repackaged edition of the revered author’s retelling of the myth of Cupid and Psyche—what he and many others regard as his best novel.
C. S. Lewis—the great British writer, scholar, lay theologian, broadcaster, Christian apologist, and bestselling author of Mere Christianity, The Screwtape Letters, The Great Divorce, The Chronicles of Narnia, and many other beloved classics—brilliantly reimagines the story of Cupid and Psyche. Told from the viewpoint of Psyche’s sister, Orual, Till We Have Faces is a brilliant examination of envy, betrayal, loss, blame, grief, guilt, and conversion. In this, his final—and most mature and masterful—novel, Lewis reminds us of our own fallibility and the role of a higher power in our lives.

Нарния... където един дракон се събужда... където звездите се разхождат на Земята... където всичко е възможно

Един ден картината, окачена в стаята на Луси и изобразяваща красив кораб, поглъща децата и те се озовават сред бурните води на океана. Нарния отново ги призовава и приключенията започват.

Племенникът на магьосника (Хрониките на Нарния, #1)
C.S. Lewis
פיטר, סוזן, אדמונד ולוסי הגיעו לנרניה כמעט בטעות: הם נכנסו לארון הבגדים, ולפתע מצאו עצמם ביער, שפנס רחוב מנצנץ בקצהו... בממלכת הקסמים נרניה, ארץ החיות המדברות, הקנטאורים, הגמדים והפאונים, שרר חורף ניצחי, שאותו חוללה המכשפה הלבנה – עד שהסתבר כי אין היא מלכת נרניה, ששליטה האמיתי הוא אסלן, האריה.
זהו הספר הראשון בסדרת "נרניה" בת שבעת הכרכים שפירסם קליב סטפלס לואיס בין 1950 ל-1956, ובו מתוארת מלחמתם של הילדים והחיות לצד האריה הפילאי נגד המכשפה הנוראה ומשרתיה האפלים.
אחרי ספר זה הופיעו גם הנסיך כספיאן, המסע בדורך השחר, הסוס ונערו, כס הכסף, הקרב האחרון ואחיינו של הקוסם – שכולם תורגמו לעברית לספרי "מרגנית".

Един принц е затворен - една страна е в опастност
Нарния... където великаните опустошават наред... където злото разпръсква своите заклинания... където магиите управляват.
Разхозхождайки се из училиищия двор, Юстас Скръб и неговата приятелка Джил решават да прескочат градинската врата. Но незнайно защо, вместо да попаднат на улицата, те се приземяват върху мека зелена поляна, а по песента на птичките и шума на грамадните дървета Юстас се досеща, че отново е попаднал в Нарния.
Бялата вещица обаче е жива, а нейната стихия заплашва да разруши приказната страна завинаги. Пътешествието на двамата герои ще е повече от опасно — те трябва да спасят сина на Каспиан от ръцете на Джейдис, като внимават злата вещица да не ги превърне в камък.

В последните дни на Нарния лъжите и злото са пуснали дълбоки корени. Жестоките калормени нападат мирните нарнийци, а Таш — свиреп демон и Враг на лъва Аслан, се е зарекъл да унищожи Всичко.

Битката се очертава да е голяма и опасна. Затова Каспиан призовава на помощ древните владетели — децата от семейство Певънзи.
