The Essential c.s. Lewis

paperback. Zustand: Sehr gut. 536 S. From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - A very good, clean copy. - The monumental achievement of C. S. Lewis as a writer is not confined to any single genre. He was, of course, a lay theologian of worldwide fame and the author of the classic children's-book series The Chronicles of Narnia, but few people know that he wrote novels for adults as well. Fewer still are aware that he was a scholar of English literature at Oxford and Cambridge universities who produced a body of work on matters literary that remains widely authoritative today. To all of his writing Lewis brought his characteristic wit, erudition, and down- to-earthness. In The Essential C. S. Lewis Lyle Dorsett for the first time gathers together wide-ranging treasures from the whole of the Lewis corpus. In addition to selections from the author's theological pieces and auto- biographical accounts, Dorsett also includes a sampling of letters that Lewis wrote, extracts from his literary/critical monographs and essays, his poems, and a number of his other pieces. The complete texts of three books by Lewis are also reprinted here: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, the first of the Chronicles of Narnia; Perelandra, the critically acclaimed second installment of his "Ransom" science fiction trilogy; and the less widely known Abolition of Man on philosophy and education.
