There are two equal and opposite errors into which our race can fall about the devils. One is to disbelieve in their existence. The other is to believe, and to feel an excessive and unhealthy interest in them. They themselves are equally pleased by both errors and hail a materialist or a magician with the same delight. The sort of script which is used in this book can be very easily obtained by anyone who has once learned the knack; but disposed or excitable people who might make a bad use of it shall not learn it from me. Readers are advised to remember that the devil is a liar. Not everything that Screwtape says should be assumed to be true even from his own angle. I have made no attempt to identify any of the human beings mentioned in the letters; but I think it very unlikely that the portraits, say, of Fr. Spike or the patient's mother, are wholly just. There is wishful thinking in Hell as well as on Earth. ~C. S. Lewis, Preface of The Screwtape Letters 7 1 Introduction C.S. Lewis, the Irish author known predominantly for his top-class septology The Chronicles of Narnia, dedicated mostly to children, but widely read among adult readers, was not only a great fantasy writer but also an enthusiastic Christian apologist. Lewis's Christian belief is reflected into the majority of his writings and therefore he offers an absolutely different dimension of thinking than other popular writers of his time. The reason why I chose to analyze The Screwtape Letters is plain – Lewis simply enthralled me not only by his genius and faithful plot-line, but also by his life convictions and values. In The Screwtape Letters, Lewis creates a cruel but trustworthy world in which all people are highly controlled by devils, and the mere fact is emphasized by the grey and everyday reality, which makes the whole book more serious. I believe that this brilliant fantasy will not leave the reader indifferent to this pervasive spiritual mortal combat. Even though The Screwtape Letters is a very popular publication, there exists only one official Czech version, translated by Pavel Vachek. Since I have read this novel about five-times and each time I was dissatisfied and distracted by Vachek's clumsy translation in some passages, I decided to focus on inventing of the creative and more fluent translation. The thesis is divided into three main parts – introduction, where I concentrate on the author himself, his legacy and Christianity, and, of course, I present the main plot of the novel. The practical part deals with my own translation of the first three chapters and finally the theoretical part focuses on the analysis of the translation and the comparison between Vachek's and my version. 8 1.1 About the book and the author The following

  • Willow Creek: the Fiction of C
    C.S. Lewis and the Apologetics of Story Some have claimed that C.S. Lewis drifted towards fiction the last decade of his life because he was failed as an Apologist and no longer able to keep up with the complex philosophical questions of his day. In fact, fiction was always part of Lewis’s output. He wrote, “The imaginative man in me is older than the rational man and more continually operative.” Lewis used story as one of the tools in his rhetorical tool box because he knew that some people will not listen to a coherent and reasonable presentation of the Gospel. Their rejection of the things of God is buttressed with rationalization and self-justification. Reason stands before these people’s hearts like dragon sentries preventing even the best apologetic arguments from getting through. But, Lewis believed, sometimes story can get past watchful dragons. This Network will explore Lewis’s use of story as a rhetorical and apologetical tool for the Gospel.

Lewis published a narrative poem, Dymer, which not only sheds light on the development of his literary skills but also offers a glimpse of his intellectual and spiritual growth. Including the complete annotated text of Lewis’s poem, this volume helps us understand both Lewis’s change of mind and our own journeys of faith. The Hansen Lectureship Series from InterVarsity Press The Hansen Lectureship Series features reflections related to the imaginative work and lasting influence of seven British authors, including C. S. Lewis, J. R. R. Tolkien, George MacDonald, and Dorothy L. Sayers. The books in the series are based on the Ken and Jean Hansen Lectureship, an annual lecture series hosted at the Marion E. Wade Center at Wheaton College, named in honor of former Wheaton College trustee Ken Hansen and his wife, Jean, and endowed in their memory by Walter and Darlene Hansen. Each book includes three lectures by a Wheaton College faculty member on one or more of the Wade Center authors with responses by fellow faculty members. Founded in 1965, the Marion E. Wade Center houses a major research collection of writings and related materials by and about seven British authors: Owen Barfield, G. K. Chesterton, C. S. Lewis, George MacDonald, Dorothy L.

    '/v$A THE POSTHUMOUS NARRATIVE POEMS OF C. S. LEWIS THESIS Presented to the Graduate Council of the North Texas State University in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For the Degree of MASTER OF ARTS By Caroline L. Geer, B. A. Denton, Texas December, 1976 Geer, Caroline Lilian, The Posthumous Narrative Poems of C. S. Lewis. Master of Arts (English), December, 1976, 73 pp., bibliography, 15 titles. The purpose of this study is to introduce the three posthumous narrative poems of C. S. Lewis. Chapter One is an introduction to Lewis's life and scholarship. The second chapter is concerned with "Launceloti" in which the central theme of the story explores the effect of the Quest for the Holy Grail on King Arthur's kingdom. Chapter Three studies "The Nameless Isle," in which Celtic and Greek mythic ele- ments strongly influence both characterization and plot. The fourth chapter is an analysis of The Queen of Drum and its triangular plot structure in which the motivating impetus of the characters is the result of dreams. Chapter Five recapitulates Lewis1s perspectives of life and reviews the impact of his Christianity on the poems. The study also shows how each poem illustrates a separate aspect of the cosmic quest.

    Issue 88: C. S. Lewis: Pointing People to Reality C.S. Lewis: Did You Know? Interesting and Unusual Facts about C. S. Lewis Compiled by Robert Trexler and Jennifer Trafton A Jack of all genres C. S. Lewis is probably the most well known, widely read, and often quoted Christian author of modern times. Between 1931 and 1962 he published 34 books. Posthumous collections added many more volumes, and the secondary studies of Lewis reach into the hundreds. The range of his talents included such varied categories as poetry (Dymer), allegorical novel (The Pilgrim's Regress), popular theology (Mere Christianity), educational philosophy (The Abolition of Man), space-travel fiction (The Ransom Trilogy), children's fairy tale (The Chronicles of Narnia), retold myth (Till We Have Faces), literary criticism (The Discarded Image), correspondence (Letters to Malcolm), and autobiography (Surprised by Joy). In spite of the variety of genres, Lewis's distinctive "voice" and continuity of thought permeated everything he wrote. The Inklings From the mid 1930s to the late 1940s, Lewis met with a group of literary friends every Tuesday and Thursday to share beer and conversation and to critique each other's work. "The Inklings," as they called themselves, included J. R. R. Tolkien, Charles Williams, and Lewis's brother, Warnie. Warnie wrote in his diary, "We were no mutual admiration society. … To read to the Inklings was a formidable ordeal." Among the works-in-progress forged in the heat of friendly criticism were The Screwtape Letters, the Narnia books, and The Hobbit. "But for the encouragement of CSL," Tolkien told Clyde Kilby in 1965, "I do not think that I should ever have completed or offered for publication The Lord of the Rings." (See Issue 78: J.
