Description
As he takes issue with the ideas in William Blake's 'The Marriage of Heaven and Hell, ' C.S. Lewis's stunning allegory about heaven and hell - and the chasm fixed between them - is one of his most brilliantly inventive tales. The narrator boards a bus on a gloomy afternoon in a dream and begins on an epic journey to Heaven and Hell. From the unhappy, ghostly inhabitants of Hell to the angels and souls who dwell on the plains of Heaven, Harry encounters a slew of otherworldly beings who defy his assumptions. One of C.S. Lewis's most enduring works of fiction and a profound meditation on good and evil, this powerful, elegantly written fantasy is one of his most enduring works of fiction.
