Reviews

""As we witness Lewis develop we find that these volumes are working as a kind of unconscious autobiography."" -- Books & Culture ""C. S. Lewis understood, like few in the past century, just how deeply faith is both imaginative and rational."" -- Christianity Today ""It is not surprising that Lewis's time-proven views are still flourishing while most other mid-20th-century works are nearly neglected."" -- Wall Street Journal ""Where would the Christian thinker be without Lewis? He is pivotal."" -- Jan Karon, author of the bestselling series The Mitford Years

Author Information

Clive Staples Lewis (1898-1963) was one of the intellectual giants of the twentieth century and arguably one of the most influential writers of his day. He was a Fellow and Tutor in English Literature at Oxford University until 1954, when he was unanimously elected to the Chair of Medieval and Renaissance Literature at Cambridge University, a position he held until his retirement. He wrote more than thirty books, allowing him to reach a vast audience, and his works continue to attract thousands of new readers every year. His most distinguished and popular accomplishments include Out of the Silent Planet, The Great Divorce, The Screwtape Letters, and the universally acknowledged classics in The Chronicles of Narnia. To date, the Narnia books have sold over 100 million copies and have been transformed into three major motion pictures.
