'Launcelot' is based on the legend of King Arthur and the Holy Grail and 'The Nameless Isle' is the story of a shipwrecked mariner and his adventures on a magic island.

Under the persistent and innovative James Welch, the BBC began to invent new formats and take large risks in trying to communicate Christian truth to a generation whose faith was on the rack of war.

For Lewis this was all part of the challenge of reaching a new audience.

Lewis' dazzling afterlife fantasy is one of his most compelling tales. The title is a reference to William Blake's work \"The Marriage of Heaven and Hell\", in which the visionary poet depicted the necessary and ultimate reconciliation of Good (limiting order) and Evil (exuberant dynamism). Contra Blake, Lewis asserts that an enduring chasm - the Divorce - prevails between these cosmic polarities. The anonymous narrator begins in Hell, which resembles our own world in its sinister banality, and catches an outward bound bus along with a motley collection of fellow passengers. Their encounters with the inhabitants of a gorgeously tangible Heaven demonstrate that those who remain in Hell choose to do so, while the way to God - \"further up and further in\" - is always open to those who would take it, no matter how wretched their condition. THE GREAT DIVORCE remains in the mind like a vivid dream - whimsical, wry, yet profoundly serious. At a time when books about \"real life\" visits to Heaven (and Hell!) contend for the reader's attention, Lewis' engaging vision of our eternal abode stands out as a wonderful example of fictive imagery used in the service of greater truths.128 pages, from Harper Collins.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eC.S. Lewis's dazzling allegory about heaven and hell and the chasm fixed between them, is one of his most brilliantly imaginative tales, as he takes issue with the ideas in William Blakes's The Marriage of Heaven and Hell. In a dream, the narrator finds himself in the grey limbo of Hell, where the disgruntled and ghostly inhabitants take a bus-ride to the plains of Heaven, where they meet angels and the souls of those already in Heaven. This striking fable portrays Hell as small and shrunken, less substantial than Heaven, which is bright and solid and the ultimate Reality. The occupants of Hell can never become part of Heaven, for their spiritual blindness prevents them from entering into its glorious reality. They prefer their own shrunken version of reality, to the joy which could be theirs. This powerful, exquisitely written fantasy is one of C.S. Lewis's most enduring works of fiction.

Father Head said his words, and the coffin was lowered gently into the earth by men whose faces were revoltingly impassive, smooth and professionally respectful. How I loathe funerals!

S. Lewis's famed but apparently disorganised*Chronicles of Narnia*have an underlying symbolic coherence, pointing to such possible unifying themes as the seven sacraments, the seven deadly sins, and the seven books of Spenser's*Faerie Queene.*None of these explanations has won general acceptance and the structure of Narnia's symbolism has remained a mystery.  \u003cbr\u003e   \u003cbr\u003e Michael Ward has finally solved the enigma. In*Planet Narnia*he demonstrates that medieval cosmology, a subject which fascinated Lewis throughout his life, provides the imaginative key to the seven novels. Drawing on the whole range of Lewis's writings (including previously unpublished drafts of the*Chronicles),*Ward reveals how the Narnia stories were designed to express the characteristics of the seven medieval planets - - Jupiter, Mars, Sol, Luna, Mercury, Venus, and Saturn - - planets which Lewis described as \"spiritual symbols of permanent value\" and \"especially worthwhile in our own generation\". Using these seven symbols, Lewis secretly constructed the*Chronicles*so that in each book the plot-line, the ornamental details, and, most important, the portrayal of the Christ-figure of Aslan, all serve to communicate the governing planetary personality. The cosmological theme of each Chronicle is what Lewis called 'the kappa element in romance', the atmospheric essence of a story, everywhere present but nowhere explicit. The reader inhabits this atmosphere and thus imaginatively gains*connaître*knowledge of the spiritual character which the tale was created to embody.  \u003cbr\u003e   \u003cbr\u003e *Planet Narnia*is a ground-breaking study that will provoke a major revaluation not only of the*Chronicles,*but of Lewis's whole literary and theological outlook. Ward uncovers a much subtler writer and thinker than has previously been recognized, whose central interests were hiddenness, immanence, and knowledge by acquaintance.","brand":"Koorong","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51560963506463,"sku":"9780195313871","price":48.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0925\/8981\/8143\/files\/9780195313871_5890.jpg?v=1769126544"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0925\/8981\/8143\/collections\/cloudinary__koorong__image__upload__CMS-_p-2FCS-Lewis__cld.jpg?v=1773090645","url":"https:\/\/koorong.com\/collections\/academic-classic-lewis.oembed?page=5","provider":"Koorong","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
