THEGREAT DIVORCE

The Great Divorce (C. S. Lewis Signature Classic)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’ 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.THE PROBLEM OF PAINFor centuries people have been tormented by one question above all – ‘If God is good and all-powerful why does he allow his creatures to suffer pain?’ And what of the suffering of animals who neither deserve pain nor can be improved by it?The greatest Christian thinker of our time sets out to disentangle this knotty issue. With his signature wealth of compassion and insight C.S. Lewis offers answers to these crucial questions and shares his hope and wisdom to help heal a world hungry for a true understanding of human nature.
