"Much deserves to be quoted... attractive imagery, amusing satire, exciting speculations... Lewis rouses curiosity about life after death only to sharpen awareness of this world."--Guardian
About the Author:
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 The Chronicles of Narnia. To date, the Narnia books have sold over 100 million copies and have been transformed into three major motion pictures.

Lewis escribió más de treinta libros, lo cual le permitió alcanzar una enorme audiencia, y sus obras aún atraen a miles de nuevos lectores cada año.

Book Description Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. Lewis's classic allegorical tale about a bus that travels from hell to heaven is an extraordinary meditation upon good and evil, and grace and judgement.? In this rich tale, there is a bus. Anyone living in the ghostly, perpetually-dripping realm can take the bus to someplace brilliant and beautiful. But in the end, most choose to return to the grey world, full of excuses, fears, or vices they cannot stand to lose.In The Great Divorce Lewis reveals truth with a new understanding and highlights ways people can improve, he urges everyone to recognize personal flaws and to take accountability for the situations you are part of, and he discusses how we as a society need to be self-satisfying."Much deserves to be quoted . . . attractive imagery, amusing satire, exciting speculations . . . Lewis rouses curiosity about life after death only to sharpen awareness of this world."-- Guardian It is in this work that he first presents the revolutionary idea that the doors in hell are locked in the inside. Using his extraordinary descriptive powers, Lewis's The Great Divorce will change the way we think about good and evil.? In "The Great Divorce", C.S. Lewis employs his formidable talent for fable and allegory, this time exploring the question of heaven and hell. Using his extraordinary descriptive powers, the theologian introduces readers to supernatural beings who will change the way we think about good and evil.
