The Great Divorce

C.S. Lewis’s dazzling allegory about heaven and hell – and the chasm fixed between them – is one of his most brilliantly imaginative tales | as he takes issue with the ideas in William Blake’s ‘The Marriage of Heaven and Hell’.In a dream | the narrator boards a bus on a drizzly afternoon and embarks on an incredible voyage through Heaven and Hell. He meets a host of supernatural beings far removed from his expectations | from the disgruntled | ghostly inhabitants of Hell to the angels and souls who dwell on the plains of Heaven.This powerful | exquisitely written fantasy is one of C.S. Lewis’s most enduring works of fiction and a profound meditation on good and evil.
