Autorenporträt

Born in Ireland in 1898, Clive Staples Lewis gained a triple First at Oxford and was Fellow and Tutor at Magdalen College from 1925-54, where he was a contemporary of Tolkien. In 1954 he became Professor of Mediaeval and Renaissance Literature at Cambridge. C. S. Lewis was for many years an atheist, until his conversion, memorably described in his autobiography 'Surprised by Joy': "I gave in, and admitted that God was God ... perhaps the most dejected and reluctant convert in all England." He is celebrated for his famous series of children's books, the Narnia Chronicles (which have been filmed and broadcast many times), as well as his literary criticism and science fiction. C. S. Lewis died on 22nd November 1963.

Rezensionen

"As we witness Lewis develop we find that these volumes are working as a kind of unconscious autobiography." - Books & Culture

"C. S. Lewis understood, like few in the past century, just how deeply faith is both imaginative and rational." - Christianity Today

"It is not surprising that Lewis's time-proven views are still flourishing while most other mid-20th-century works are nearly neglected." - Wall Street Journal

"Where would the Christian thinker be without Lewis? He is pivotal." - Jan Karon, author of the bestselling series The Mitford Years
