From the Back Cover
"Lewis...forced those who listened to him and read his words to come to terms with their own philosophical presuppositions."--Los Angeles Times The letters collected here cover a vast range of subjects--books, nature, people, and every aspect of God and His world--and extend from C.S. Lewis's early days as a student and atheist up to a few weeks before his death. His correspondence with family, friends, and even fans, offers readers an opportunity to share Lewis's wit and originality. Introduced and edited by Walter Hooper, this volume represents an important revision to the collection of Lewis's letters published in 1966: several letters have been added, proper dates have been restored to some, correspondents' names to others. And, as in the original volume, selected entries from Lewis's own diary are included, as is Warnie Lewis's fascinating memoir of his brother's life. C.S. Lewis (1898-1963) gained international renown for an impressive array of works both popular and scholarly: a science fiction trilogy, children's books, a novel, poetry, literary criticism, and numerous books on Christianity. Among his most celebrated achievements are Out of the Silent Planet, The Chronicles of Narnia, The Screwtape Letters, The Four Loves, and Surprised by Joy.
