About This Item
London: Geoffrey Bles, 1945. 1st. h/b. Very good, 1st edition, unclipped d/j (some wear but in protective sleeve). Yellow clothbound boards; Black titles on red on spine; text block firm; pages unmarked (but wartime papers).. 12mo (190 x 130 / 7_"" x 5""). C.S. LewisÕs dazzling allegory about heaven and hell Ð and the chasm fixed between them Ð is one of his most brilliantly imaginative tales, as he takes issue with the ideas in William BlakeÕs ÔThe Marriage of Heaven and HellÕ. In a dream, the narrator boards a bus on a drizzly afternoon and embarks on an incredible voyage through Heaven and Hell. He meets a host of supernatural beings far removed from his expectations, from the disgruntled, ghostly inhabitants of Hell to the angels and souls who dwell on the plains of Heaven.
Synopsis
C.S. Lewis’ The Great Divorce is a classic Christian allegorical tale about a bus ride from hell to heaven. An extraordinary meditation upon good and evil, grace and judgment, Lewis’s revolutionary idea in The Great Divorce is that the gates of Hell are locked from the inside. Using his extraordinary descriptive powers, Lewis’ The Great Divorce will change the way we think about good and evil. -C.S. Lewis Official Website.
