Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Clean, tight, unmarked; crease to bottom inside edge; otherwise absolute minimal wear; Till We Have Faces: A Myth Retold is a retelling of Cupid and Psyche story , based on its telling in a chapter of The Golden Ass of Apuleius. This story had haunted Lewis all his life, because he realized that some of the main characters' actions were illogical. Hence he retold the story which is characterized by a highly developed character, the narrator, with the reader being drawn into her reasoning and her emotions. This was his last novel, and he considered it his most mature.

Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Near Fine. 1st Edition. Author: C.S. Lewis. Price: £350. Publisher: Bles, London, UK. Publication Date: 1956. Format: Original cloth gilt. Dustwrapper. Condition: Near fine in a near fine dustwrapper. Edition: First Edition. Pages: 320. Description: C.S. Lewis' novel, "Till We Have Faces: A Myth Retold", is a profound re-imagining of the ancient myth of Cupid and Psyche, blending classical themes with deep philosophical and theological reflections. First published in 1956, this work stands out as one of Lewis' most sophisticated and mature novels, offering the reader a unique exploration of human nature, love, and the divine. The narrative is presented from the perspective of Orual, the older sister of Psyche, who tells her story as a personal account, marked by intense emotions and a quest for understanding the divine. Through Orual's eyes, Lewis delves into the complexities of love, both possessive and selfless, and the struggle to reconcile faith with the harsh realities of life. Unlike Lewis' more straightforward works, "Till We Have Faces" is layered with allegory and symbolism, inviting readers to engage deeply with its themes. It is a story about transformation?both personal and spiritual?illustrating the painful journey from ignorance and self-deception to clarity and redemption. Condition: Binding nice and tight. Offsetting to front and rear endpapers which is common with this title. Very slight foxing to the text block. Pages very nice and clean. Dustwrapper has very minor foxing to the rear panel. It has the tiniest amount of rubbing to the head and tail of the spine but is in very nice indeed, bright, condition. Overall a near fine copy in a near fine dustwrapper. Very scarce in this condition.

First edition of Lewis' final novel retelling of Cupid and Psyche, based on its telling in a chapter of The Golden Ass of Apuleius. Octavo, bound in full morocco by the Harcourt Bindery, gilt titles and ruling to the spine, raised bands, gilt ruled to the front and rear panels, gilt signature to the front panel, inner dentelles, marbled endpapers, all edges gilt. In fine condition. An exceptional presentation. The first part of the book is written from the perspective of Psyche's older sister Orual, as an accusation against the gods. The story is set in the fictive kingdom of Glome, a primitive city-state whose people have occasional contact with civilized Hellenistic Greece. In the second part of the book, the narrator undergoes a change of mindset (Lewis would use the term conversion) and understands that her initial accusation was tainted by her own failings and shortcomings, and that the gods are lovingly present in humans' lives. Finally written in a "full flush of inspiration. it was certainly his most unexpected book, and his greatest tour de force; to many readers, and probably to himself, his best work of fiction (even if Perelandra remained his favourite)" (Green & Hooper, C. S. Lewis: A Biography, 1974).
