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.
Viaggi fino alla fine del mondo, creature fantastiche, epiche battaglie tra il bene e il male: cosa avrebbe potuto aspettarsi di più un lettore? Scritto nel 1949 da C.S. Lewis, Il leone, la strega e l'armadio inaugurò la serie dei sette volumi che sarebbero divenuti celebri come Le Cronache di Narnia. Un capolavoro che trascende il genere fantasy, ormai riconosciuto tra i classici della letteratura inglese del Novecento. C.S. Lewis lo scrisse con la dichiarata intenzione di rivolgersi ai bambini, ma non solo a loro. Era convinto, infatti, che un libro non merita di essere letto a dieci anni se non merita di essere letto anche a cinquanta. Un'incredibile girandola di personaggi (fauni, ninfe, streghe, animali parlanti, eroici guerrieri), per il ritmo incalzante dell'avventura, ma anche per l'insolito spessore che tradisce l'immensa cultura di un autentico scrittore, noto medievalista dell'Università di Oxford, capace di attingere dalla vasta letteratura inglese quanto dalle allegorie dantesche. La presente edizione offre al pubblico italiano il testo integrale delle Cronache di Narnia in un unico volume, con una traduzione completamente aggiornata e con un breve saggio in appendice, inedito in Italia, in cui Lewis stesso spiega cosa significhi per lui scrivere per i bambini. Età di lettura: da 11 anni
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.
Un incantato pop-up di Robert Sabuda basato sul capolavoro di C. S. Lewis. Ediz. illustrata
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.
TERRA 1941 - NARNIA 2303 La pacifica Narnia è stata conquistata dagli umani.

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...

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 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.
Si suppone che gli avvenimenti si svolgano nel Duecento. Manfredo, signore di Otranto, nipote dell'usurpatore del regno che ha avvelenato Alfonso, il legittimo sovrano, vive sotto l'incubo di una profezia, secondo cui la stirpe dell'usurpatore continuerà a regnare, finché il legittimo sovrano non sia divenuto troppo grosso per abitare il castello e finché discendenti maschi dell'usurpatore lo occupino. Quando la profezia sembra avverarsi, Manfredo atterrito confessa il modo dell'usurpazione e si ritira in un monastero con la moglie. Il romanzo fu pubblicato nel 1764 e, nella prima edizione, era descritto come una versione dall'italiano.

The narrative begins with "The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe," where four siblings—Peter, Susan, Edmund, and Lucy Pevensie—discover Narnia through a wardrobe and become embroiled in the battle between the White Witch and Aslan, a noble lion. As the series progresses, themes of bravery, sacrifice, and redemption are explored through various adventures, including the quest for the lost prince in "Prince Caspian" and the journey to the end of the world in "The Voyage of the Dawn Treader."

God in the Dock contains forty-eight essays and twelve letters that cover topics as varied as the logic of theism, good and evil, miracles, and ethics. And in Christian Reflections, he addresses Christianity and literature, Christianity and culture, petitionary prayer, modern theology, and biblical criticism.

C.S. Lewis' The Discarded Image paints a lucid picture of the medieval world view, as historical and cultural background to the literature of the Middle Ages and Renaissance.

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.

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".
"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.

“Captivating reading that builds the faith while it fills the mind with greatness.”—Sherwood Wirt, former editor, DECISION MagazineOne of this century's greatest writers of fact, fiction, and fantasy explores, in utterly beautiful terms, questions of faith in the modern • On the experience of miracles• On silence and religious belief• On the assumed conflict between work and prayer• On the error of trying to lead “a good life” without Christ• On the necessity of dogma to religion• On the dangers of national repentance• On the commercialization of Christmas . . . and more“The searching mind and the poetic spirit of C.S.

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.

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.
