C. S. Lewis

C.S. Lewis was born on November 29, 1898 in Belfast, Ireland. Lewis went to Oxford University and focused on literature and classic philosophy. His most popular work is the children’s series The Chronicles of Narnia. This book series has been loved by many readers for decades and movies have also been made. ("C.S. Lewis Biography.") One of the great things that Lewis was able to do with his novels are that he could hide a deeper meaning in different characters and even make the entire novel a

C.S. Lewis once wrote "There are two equal and opposite errors into which our race can fall about the devils. One is to disbelieve in their existence. The other is to believe, and to feel an excessive and unhealthy interest in them." Throughout history mankind has struggled, relentlessly, to put this concept into perspective. Lewis, a well respected Christian author, thought it appropriate to develop a work that would help individuals "grasp the notion of devils." "The Screwtape Letters" by C.S.

C.S. Lewis survives in the lives of many and continues to live on through his brilliant and artful use of language in his books. An adventurer at heart Lewis loved to create tales to entertain and inspire others. Adam Gopnik expresses, “The tales of the English children who cross over, through a wardrobe, into a land where animals speak and lions rule, which Lewis began in the late nineteen-forties, are classics in the only sense that matters—books that are read a full generation after their author

Clive Staples (C.S) Lewis is known for his intellectual writings and is arguable one of the most influential writers of his day. Lewis was born to a protestant family in Belfast, Ireland. He remembers his family purchasing and reading “endless” books, where none of them were off–limits to him. This in return may have played a significant role in his imagination and love for fantasy. After his brother left home for boarding school in 1905, Lewis spent most of his time reading and imagining worlds

In his novel The Great Divorce, C.S. Lewis depicts two settings: one of a grey town where whatever you want is provided for you and another of grand pasture. These settings, in the book, represent Heaven in Hell in a way, depending on which character's perspective the places are viewed from. However, the places that the main character visits and the journey that he takes is one that can be used to model the journey of our spiritual walk. Similar to how the protagonist starts in a bleak town then

C.S. Lewis uses a secondary world, Narnia, to convey complex, thought-provoking messages to readers of The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe. This paper examines the way a selection of Narnia's key characteristics prompt debates over logic and faith, comment on the nature of spiritual and metaphysical journeys, allow readers to broaden their conception of their own capabilities, encourage new reflection on the story of Christ and help to clarify conceptions of good and evil. Narnia's first characteristic

The Screwtape Letters The Screwtape Letters is a thought-provoking book that details how easily humans are ensnared by the Enemy. The enticement of the world seems so appealing to human, however, C.S. Lewis makes it very clear that the enticement in the world is only temporary, and is ultimately a tactic of the Enemy. Often times, temptation creeps into our minds unexpectedly, but temptation’s effects are deadly. The Enemy will stop at nothing to tempt us, but God’s Word says that He will not tempt

Christian ideals in children's literature pose a serious threat to individuality. Clive Staples Lewis wrote “The Chronicles of Narnia” in 1950, he hoped to write a book even non-religious people could pick up and read. Being his most popular book, children and adults alike took to this book, along with theologians. His book is a complete copy of the Bible, only switched around to make fantastic settings and characters like Aslan the lion, the Jesus Christ of Narnia. He also uses children as the main

The Lion,the Witch and the Wardrobe by C.S Lewis this classic book is fantasy. I have never read any other book by this author. I would be willing to read another work of C.S. Lewis’s work of literature. I want to read another one of her books because I loved this one. In this book the setting is in England and throughout the book english words and slang are woven through. This helps me build a better background for the characters and helps me visualize the setting and time. I also like the way

There are three different species of hnau (sentient beings who function like humans in society) on Malacandra: hross, sorn, and pfifltriggi. They greatly differ when it comes to appearance, personality, and giftings, but each of them reflect different attributes. The hrossa are the most humanoid. Ransom states that a hross looks like “...a man seven feet high, with a snaky body, covered, face and all, with thick black animal hair, and whiskered like a cat...glossy coat, liquid eye, sweet breath and
