Out of the Silent Planet

"C.S. Lewis... is a master of fantasy"
Saturday Review

"...a delicious book, full of wisdom and savor"
Christopher Morley

"A delightful fantasy"
New York  Herald Tribune

C. S. LEWIS, perhaps best known author of The Screwtape Letters, was professor of medieval and Renaissance literature at Cambridge University until his death in 1963.  He also wrote the well-loved Chronicles of Narnia, a series of stories for children, as well as nonfiction, including The Problem of Pain and Miracles.

PERALANDRA

A sharp, sophisticated fantasy dealing with an old problem - temptation - in a new world - Peralandra.  The newest planet in C.S. Lewis's celebrated space world, Peralandra (the Planet Venus), has been invaded by the devil's agent in the shape of an English physicist, Dr. Watson.  Evil joins battle with good, represented by Ransom the philologist, as Peralandra and its Queen and Lady-Mother face the choice between ascending to perfection or following an older world to corruption.

This is the second book in the famous space trilogy which began with Out of the Silent Plant and is concluded with That Hideous Strength.

C.S. LEWIS, once called England's modern John Bunyan, is well known for the range of his literary talents, from scholarly studies of medieval literature to children's stories.  Professor of medieval and Renaissance literature at Cambridge University until his death in 1963, Lewis wrote, among other books, the best-selling The Screwtape Letters.

THAT HIDEOUS STRENGTH

"Biting wit, superlatively nonsensical excitement, challenging implications."
New York Times

"No one in the least susceptible to Mr. Lewis's conjurations... can drop the book at all."
Saturday Review

"Well-written, fast-paced satirical fantasy"
Time
