Clive Staples Lewis Libri

Four English school children enter the magic land of Narnia through the back of a wardrobe and assist Aslan, the golden lion, in defeating the White Witch who has cursed the land with eternal winter.

C.S. Lewis, studioso del Medioevo e romanziere fantascientifico, si trovò a essere, come egli stesso osservò, «forse il più depresso, il più riluttante convertito d’Inghilterra». Cosa lo portò a passare da un cauto agnosticismo alla fede? Il cristianesimo, inteso come un nucleo irriducibile di pensiero, emozione e gesto, è ciò che unisce tutte le divergenze dottrinali e dispute ecclesiastiche. Questo nucleo rende «naturalmente cristiano» chiunque sia nato in Occidente negli ultimi duemila anni. Come rendere evidente tutto ciò? Lewis scelse di comunicare in modo semplice e diretto, affrontando le questioni ultime. Il risultato furono conversazioni radiofoniche degli anni Quaranta, rimaste ineguagliate per la loro capacità di chiarire problemi teologici complessi, mostrandoli come cunei che penetrano nella nostra mente. Da questi temi, non possiamo prescindere; Lewis suggerisce quindi di lasciarci illuminare. I testi, pubblicati per la prima volta nel 1942, 1943 e 1944, furono successivamente riuniti in un volume riveduto e ampliato nel 1952.

Dalla fantasia di un ex bambino appassionato di miti e leggende, dall'immensa cultura di un noto medievalista nacquero i sette romanzi fantastici dedicati a Narnia, il capolavoro di C.S. Lewis. Celebri nel mondo anglosassone come i più importanti classici moderni per ragazzi, 'Il nipote del mago', 'Il leone, la strega e l'armadio', 'Un ragazzo e il suo cavallo', 'Il principe Caspian', 'Il viaggio del veliero', 'La sedia d'argento' e 'L'ultima battaglia' vengono presentati in un unico volume, per riscoprire l'opera di un autore che in Inghilterra è considerato uno dei più grandi scrittori del ventesimo secolo. Tra pagine ricche di fascino e magia si schiude un mondo di fate, streghe, unicorni, draghi, lupi mannari, scimmie usurpatrici, asini travestiti da leoni e cavalli parlanti, in un'incantevole favola per bambini che ha lo spessore del grande romanzo per adulti, intessuto di significati simbolici e religiosi. Perché, come sosteneva Lewis, 'un libro non merita di essere letto a dieci anni se non merita di essere letto anche a cinquanta'.

Nelle trentun lettere di cui si compone il libro, Clive Staples Lewis (1898-1963), scrittore e critico inglese, lavora su una trovata narrativa di innegabile efficacia. Un funzionario di Satana istruisce un giovane diavolo apprendista, Malacoda, suo nipote, spiegandogli i mezzi e gli espedienti più idonei, secondo la sua esperienza, per conquistare (e dannare) gli uomini. Ogni manifestazione della vita, dal pensiero alla preghiera, dall'amore all'amicizia, dal divertimento alla vita sociale, dal piacere al lavoro alla guerra, tutto viene distorto a scopo diabolico. Abile come pochi, Lewis disserta sottilmente sui temi filosofici più alti facendosi amare, oltre che per l'arguzia e l'ironia delle sue argomentazioni, per la limpidezza dello stile.

Il capolavoro di C.S. Lewis rivive nelle creazioni di un artista del pop-up, Robert Sabuda. Un libro ricco di spettacolari dettagli e sorprese che farà sbocciare la magia di Narnia tra le vostre mani: Aslan vi balzerà incontro maestoso e feroce, il veliero solcherà le pagine come onde e ogni volta che lo aprirete sarà come spingere le ante dell'armadio insieme a Lucy e i suoi fratelli, e affondare nella neve di quel regno incantato e conteso fino all'ultima battaglia... Età di lettura: da 6 anni.

Tutti i personaggi incontrati nel ciclo di Narnia vengono alla ribalta per salutare: il Professore, zia Polly, Edmund, Peter, Lucy, gli gnomi, il topo Ricipì, l'aquila Alidifuoco, l'unicorno Diamante. Ma i veri eroi di questo "gran finale" sono Tirian, l'ultimo discendente dei re di Narnia, e i due bambini Eustachio Scrubb e Jill Pole, che devono smascherare un assurdo impostore. Infatti lo scimmione Shift ha travestito da leone l'asino Puzzle, cercando di farlo passare per il leggendario Aslan e qualcuno ci ha creduto. E adesso le forze del bene e del male si preparano all'ultima battaglia.

Sebbene non abbia inventato la Tavola Rotonda o le storie della sua compagnia, il poeta del dodicesimo secolo Chrétien de Troyes è stato il primo a raccontare in versi le avventure dei cavalieri di Artù. È anche principalmente responsabile dell'importanza della leggenda arturiana nella letteratura europea e della sua sopravvivenza fino ai tempi moderni. Questa traduzione sensibile delle narrazioni in versi di Chrétien presenta quattro romanzi, tra cui quelli di Erec ed Enide, Cligés, Yvain e Lancelot. La storia di Erec ed Enide illustra come l'onore possa essere ripristinato in una relazione problematica attraverso atti di dovere pubblico. La storia di Cligés coinvolge una relazione proibita, in cui un cavaliere si innamora della sua regina, che è anche la moglie di suo zio. La storia di Yvain esplora gli effetti dell'assenza prolungata sul matrimonio di un cavaliere in cerca di avventure. L'avventura di Lancelot, il salvataggio di Ginevra, è il contributo duraturo di Chrétien alla tradizione del mito arturiano. Questi quattro romanzi formano l'espressione più completa degli ideali della cavalleria francese da parte di un singolo autore.

Un viaggio nel mondo Narnia, popolato di gnomi, giganti, fauni, streghe, satiri e animali parlanti. Sarà Aslan, il Grande Leone, a trasportare fin là Eustachio Scrubb e Jill Pole grazie al suo soffio possente, ed ad assegnare loro un singolare compagno: Paludrone Puddleglum, creatura delle paludi. Compito dei tre eroi improvvisati sarà quello di ritrovare e liberare il principe Rilian, figlio di Caspian Decimo re di Narnia, rapito dalla Strega Malefica e segregato nel Mondodisotto da dieci anni. E non c'è bisogno di dire che un'impresa del genere comporta incredibili peripezie, un lungo e faticoso cammino e innumerevoli avventure.

Terra 1940 - Narnia 1014 "Come vorrei che potessi parlare, amico mio." Shasta non poteva immaginare che rivolgendosi così a un cavallo, ne avrebbe avuto risposta. Ma Bri ha il dono della parola perché viene da Narnia, terra felice da cui è stato rapito e a cui vuole tornare. La stessa terra che Shasta desidera esplorare da sempre. Comincia così un viaggio fitto di insidie, avventure e nuovi amici, che sarà per loro una prova di cuore, coraggio e saggezza.

TERRA 1941 - NARNIA 2303 La pacifica Narnia è stata conquistata dagli umani. Folletti, giganti, fauni e ninfe si sono nascosti, insieme agli animali parlanti, nel fitto delle foreste, fra gli alberi amici. Nel mondo degli umani nessuno parla di loro, nessuno vuole ricordare. Ma il giovanissimo Caspian, l'erede al trono, decide di guidare la riscossa del popolo nascosto. Al suo fianco, quattro ragazzi che un tempo erano stati i saggi sovrani dell'antica Narnia. La battaglia è aperta...

Terra 1942 - Narnia 2306. "C'era un ragazzo che si chiamava Eustachio Clarence Scrubb, e se lo meritava." E oltre a ritrovarsi questo nome, Eustachio, a differenza dei suoi cugini Edmund e Lucy, non è mai stato a Narnia. Perciò non poteva immaginare che guardando il quadro di un mare in tempesta, ci sarebbero finiti dentro! Per fortuna il principe Caspian li salverà e li porterà con sé a bordo del dorato Veliero dell'alba, in un lungo viaggio per arrivare alla Fine del Mondo.

Ambientato in un medioevo italiano fantasiosamente cupo, tra passaggi segreti e cieli tempestosi, rumori misteriosi e terribili scene notturne, "Il castello di Otranto" accumula delitti e rimorsi, scambi di persone, fanciulle perseguitate, innamorati infelici, un fantasma tanto inquieto da sconquassare tutti i muri del castello e, naturalmente, anche un padre che uccide la figlia riconoscendola solo quando è troppo tardi. Non si può leggere nessun romanzo del terrore a prescindere da questo, perché è da questo che discendono tutti gli altri.

TERRA 1940 - NARNIA 1000 C'è la guerra, e per Peter, Susan, Edmund e Lucy è meglio rifugiarsi in campagna. Nella grande casa che li ospita scoprono un immenso armadio che sembra fatto apposta per nascondercisi: in realtà è una porta per entrare in un altro mondo, dove gli animali parlano e nessun incantesimo è impossibile. Ma una strega malvagia ha cancellato le stagioni, mutando il felice regno di Narnia in una landa desolata. Per fortuna c'è qualcuno che può rimettere le cose a posto...

This, Lewis' last book, was hailed as "the final memorial to the work of a great scholar and teacher and a wise and noble mind."

All seven books in the Chronicles of Narnia are now available together in a hardcover volume which includes an essay by C.S. Lewis, On Three Ways of Writing for Children, where he explains precisely how the magic of Narnia first came to life.

In seven witty, lucid, tough-minded essays, Lewis considers questions that challenge the faith of modern Christians. He discusses such topics as the efficacy of prayer, the various uses of the phrase “I believe,” the religious implications of life on other planets, the meaning of words like “culture” and “religion,” and the idea of the Second Coming.

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.

The nationality question was supposedly closed within the USSR over forty years ago. It has, however, been dramatically reopened by fresh generations of educated leaders emerging among all the major Soviet nationalities. They have made obsolete the old Russian-Communist policy of extending token recognition to nationality groups officially differentiated mainly by reference to variations in language, folklore, or costume. Economic advance and disproportionate population increases among many nationalities have added impetus to this awakening. With self-determination the watchword in most other developing countries, it is evident that the Kremlin leadership now faces an array of modern problems in its old-fashioned empire. Simultaneously, social and technological changes are forcing the Soviet nationalities to reconsider courses of action crucial to their future. The present volume demonstrates the extraordinary range of nationality problems besetting the USSR. The issues are considered broadly and their possible resolutions are examined from both a contemporary and historical perspective. The authors scrutinize significant problems through the methodologies supplied by key academic disciplines. Research sources for nationality study are discussed in a bibliographical section; maps and tables summarize census and other current data about the nationality question.

In Preface to Paradise Lost, C. S. Lewis presents an illuminating reflection on John Milton's Paradise Lost, the seminal classic that profoundly influenced Christian thought as well as Lewis's own work.

A collection of readings taken from the religious writings of C.S. Lewis, author of "Mere Christianity", "The Screwtape Letters", "The Problem of Pain" and "Surprised by Joy". He also wrote the children's series, "The Chronicles of Narnia".

C. S. Lewis explores the fascination with language by taking a series of words and teasing out their connotations.

"Professor Lewis believed that literature exists above all for the joy of the reader and that books should be judged by the kind of reading they invite. He doubted the use of strictly evaluative criticism, especially its condemnations. Literary criticism is traditionally employed in judging books, and 'bad taste' is thought of as a taste for bad books. Professor Lewis' experiment consists in reversing the process, and judging literature itself by the way men read it. He defined a good book as one which can be read in a certain way, a bad book as one which can only be read in another. He was therefore mainly preoccupied with the notion of good reading: and he showed that this, in its surrender to the work on which it is engaged, has something in common with love, with moral action, and with intellectual achievement. In good reading we should be concerned less in altering our own opinions than in entering fully into the opinions of others; "in reading great literature I become a thousand men and yet remain myself". As with all that Professor Lewis wrote, the arguments are stimulating and the examples apt"--Publisher description.

The workplace has become a hotbed of social toxicity - from the #MeToo movement to WeWork, it's clear that abusive bosses and entrenched cultures of discrimination have become more prevalent than ever. Such behaviour is not only simply wrong and damaging to its victims - it also results in reduced productivity, higher employee turnover, and can often leave a stain upon the wider reputation of an organization.In Toxic, Clive Lewis draws upon his decades of experience in HR and mediation to distill the problems and underlying causes of toxic workplaces before tackling the issue head-on.

Love is the commonest these of serious imaginative literature and is still generally regarded as anble and ennbling passion. Love has not always taken such precedence, however, and it was in fact not until the eleventh century that French poets first began to express the romantic species of passion which English poets were still writing about in the nineteenth century. This book is intended for students of medieval literature from A-level upwards. Anyone interested in the "Courtly Love" tradition. Fans of C.S. Lewis's writings.

In the classic The Abolition of Man, C.S. Lewis, the most important Christian writer of the 20th century, sets out to persuade his audience of the importance and relevance of universal values such as courage and honor in contemporary society. Both astonishing and prophetic, The Abolition of Man is one of the most debated of Lewis's extraordinary works. National Review chose it as number seven on their 100 Best Nonfiction Books of the Twentieth Century.

As part of the repackaged and rebranded C.S. Lewis Signature Classic range, this title in which Lewis answers the question, 'Do miracles really happen?' will have obvious appeal to the growing spirituality market. 'The central miracle asserted by Christians is the Incarnation. They say that God became Man. Every other miracle prepares the way for this, or results from this.' This is the key statement of Miracles, in which C. S. Lewis shows that a Christian must not only accept but rejoice in miracles as a testimony of the unique personal involvement of God in his creation. Using his characteristic lucidity and wit to develop his argument, Lewis challenges the rationalists and cynics who are mired in their lack of imagination and provides a poetic and joyous affirmation that miracles really fo occur in our everyday lives.

This autobiography of C.S.Lewis's early life, focusing on the spiritual crisis which was to determine the shape of his entire life, now repackaged and rebranded as a key title in the C.S. Lewis Signature Classics range.

Why will they only drink from the bathroom tap? Do they even like me?

Written during the dark hours immediately before and during World War II, C. S. Lewis's Space Trilogy, of which That Hideous Strength is the third and final volume, stands alongside such works as Albert Camus's The Plague and George Orwell's 1984 as a timely parable that has become timeless, beloved by succeeding generations as much for the sheer wonder of its storytelling as for the significance of its moral concerns. The final book in C. S. Lewis's acclaimed Space Trilogy, which includes Out of the Silent Planet and Perelandra, That Hideous Strength concludes the adventures of the matchless Dr. Ransom. The dark forces that were repulsed in Out of the Silent Planet and Perelandra are massed for an assault on the planet Earth itself.
