A Brief Guide to C. S. Lewis
November 2013 marks the 50th anniversary of the death of Clive Staples 'Jack' Lewis, when a memorial to him will be placed in Poet's Corner in Westminster Abbey. Although perhaps best known as the author of the seven Chronicles of Narnia, published between 1949 and 1954, Lewis also wrote The Pilgrim's Regress, a trilogy of science-fiction novels incorporating Christian themes, and a large number of non-fiction books about his faith, accessible to Christians and non-believers alike. In a survey of the greatest British writers since 1945, the Times newspaper ranked Lewis eleventh, ahead of Salman Rushdie, Anthony Burgess and Ian Fleming. A Brief Guide to C. S. Lewis explores Lewis's life, from his reconversion to Christianity under the influence of his friend J. R. R. Tolkien, which had such a profound influence on his writing - both fiction and non-fiction - to his marriage to American writer Joy Davidman Gresham and his battle with cancer. He died on 22 November 1963, a day before the first-ever episode of Dr Who, a TV series with many links to his Narnia stories was shown. Although this Brief Guide ranges well beyond the world of Narnia to explore other aspects of Lewis's life and his other writings, it does not do so - unusually among books on Lewis - from the point of view of Christian scholarship, thereby assuming much knowledge of theology on the part of readers. That Lewis wrote about the problems of praying is significant; the specific texts he discusses and dissects are likely to be of less significance to most readers. The guide provides synopses of Lewis's fiction, an overview of his other writings, a biography and a look at all the many different versions of his stories that have appeared. In doing so it draws on recent interviews by the author with some of the many talented people who have worked on these adaptations.
TILL WE HAVE FACES (Cupid & Psyche – The Story Behind the Myth)
C. S. Lewis's "Till We Have Faces" reinterprets the ancient myth of Cupid and Psyche through a richly layered narrative that blends allegory with philosophical inquiry. Set in the fictional realm of Glome, the novel is narrated by Orual, Psyche's elder sister, who grapples with issues of love, jealousy, and the human condition. Lewis employs an elegant prose style, imbued with a mythic quality, that engages readers in profound moral and ethical dilemmas, challenging conventional views on divine love and personal sacrifice. This work is often regarded as Lewis's most mature fiction, embodying a synthesis of classical mythology and Christian thought, and stands out within the canon of modern literary explorations of myth and identity. C. S. Lewis, renowned for his theological works and fantasy novels, was deeply influenced by his own spiritual journey and interest in mythology. His background in literature, as well as his profound Christian faith, guided him to create a nuanced tale that examines the interplay between the mortal and the divine. Lewis sought to delve deeper into the motivations of characters often portrayed in simplistic terms, offering a fresh perspective that resonates with contemporary audiences by addressing timeless questions about human nature. I wholeheartedly recommend "Till We Have Faces" to those interested in a thought-provoking exploration of mythology reimagined through a lens of psychological depth and moral complexity. Lewis'Äôs masterful storytelling invites readers to navigate the labyrinth of the human heart, making it an essential read for anyone seeking a profound understanding of love, identity, and the sometimes turbulent relationship between humanity and the divine.
