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.
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.
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."

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
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."

La alegoría del amor: Un estudio sobre tradición medieval
C.S. Lewis
Love is the commonest these of serious imaginative literature and is still generally regarded as anble and ennbling passion.

This book is intended for students of medieval literature from A-level upwards. Anyone interested in the "Courtly Love" tradition. Fans of C.S. Lewis's writings.
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.
The Pilgrim's Regress
C.S. Lewis
The first book written by C. S. Lewis after his conversion, The Pilgrim's Regress is, in a sense, the record of Lewis s own search for meaning and spiritual satisfaction—a search that eventually led him to Christianity.Here is the story of the pilgrim John and his odyssey to an enchanting island which has created in him an intense longing—a mysterious, sweet desire. 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.

Departe de planeta tăcută (Trilogia Cosmică, #1)
C.S. Lewis

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.

Il Principe Caspian
C.S. Lewis
Il regno di Narnia è stato conquistato dagli uomini. Il perfido re Miraz ha usurpato il trono del legittimo erede, il principe Caspian, e i suoi soldati costringono gli antichi abitanti (gnomi, fauni, folletti, ninfe, giganti buoni e animali parlanti) a vivere segregati nella foresta. 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. Così, Peter, Susan, Edmund e Lucy, che nel frattempo sono tornati in Inghilterra, d'improvviso vengono catturati da una forza misteriosa che li riporta nel magico regno. Re Miraz è pronto a sferrare l'attacco contro il gruppo di ribelli, e il suo esercito sembra davvero invincibile.

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...

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.

La experiencia de leer
C.S. Lewis
Desde su publicación en 1961 este pequeño ensayo no ha dejado de ser reeditado al punto de convertirse en un clásico. En él C. S. Lewis propone un "experimento" que procede al revés de lo que es habitual en la crítica literaria: "juzgar la literatura a partir de cómo es leída", no una clasificación entre "buenos" y "malos" libros, sino entre "buenos" y "malos" lectores
The Problem of Pain by C S Lewis (2014-06-20)

The greatest Christian thinker of our time sets out to disentangle this knotty issue. With his signature wealth of compassion and insight, C. S. Lewis offers answers to these crucial questions and shares his hope and wisdom to help heal a world hungry for a true understanding of human nature.

Лъвът, Вещицата и дрешникът (Хрониките на Нарния, #2)
C.S. Lewis
ТЕ ОТВОРИХА ВРАТАТА И ВЛЯЗОХА В НОВИЯ СВЯТ... Нарния... земята, скована във Вечна зима... страната, чакаща някой да я освободи Питър, Сюзан, Едмънд и Луси, четирите деца от семейство Певънзи, са изпратени в старо имение на гости на стар и ексцентричен професор. Играейки си на криеница, четиримата минават през странен дрешник в загадъчен Вълшебен сбят, скован от лед — света н а Нарния. Сега обаче Нарния е поробена от Бялата Вещица, позната като кралица Джейдис. И когато Всяка надежда, че слънцето ще изгрее над заледените поляни, е загубена, песента на приказния лъв Аслан ще събуди Говорещите зверобе и ще Вдъхне отново живот. Но каква ще бъде цената...

Prizvani su da bi pomogli u traganju za sedmoricom izgubljenih prijatelja Kaspijanovog oca.

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.
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.
El león, la bruja y el ropero (Las crónicas de Narnia, #2)

Entonces, cumpliendo con las viejas profecías, los niños –junto con el león Aslan- serán los encargados de liberar al reino de la tiranía de la Bruja Blanca y recuperar el verano, la luz y la alegría para todos los habitantes de Narnia.
Narnia, la tierra donde todo puede suceder.
