| Product Details |
| A masterpiece of satire, this classic has entertained and enlightened readers the world over with its sly and ironic portrayal of human life from the vantage point of Screwtape, a highly placed assistant to Our Father Below. At once wildly comic, deadly serious, and strikingly original C. S. Lewis gives us the correspondence of the worldly-wise old devil to his nephew Wormwood, a novice demon in charge of securing the damnation of an ordinary young man. The Screwtape Letters is the most engaging and humorous account of temptation and triumph over it -- ever written. Read by Joss Ackland. Unabridged. 5 CDs. 6 hours. |

Professional Reviews

| : |
America: "Christians are turning again to a master of lucid apologetics whose religious imagination also encompassed fairy tales and space odysseys.", New York Times Book Review: "Lewis is the ideal persuader for the half-convinced, for the good man who would like to be a Christian but finds his intellect getting in the way.", Lewis, C. S.: "But though it was easy to twist one's mind into the diabolical attitude, it was not fun, or not for long. The strain produced a sort of spiritual cramp." |
