Brothers and Friends
None
The Major and the Missionary
Warren Hamilton Lewis (brother of C. S. Lewis) and Blanche Biggs (a missionary in Papua New Guinea) shared a vibrant correspondence. Their collected letters paint a colorful portrait, illuminating not only the particulars of distant times and places, but the intimate contours of a rare friendship.
The Splendid Century
“The Splendid Century,” penned by the brother of famous author C. S. Lewis (“Alice in Wonderland”), is a depiction of various aspects of life in France during the reign of Louis XIV, gleaned through the author’s thorough research of records, correspondence, and journals of the time. Using anecdotal evidence, the book probes in detail various facets of life in France during this time, including the lives of nobles (particularly those at court) as well as commoners, religious institutions and conflicts, the organization of the French army and its restructuring, rural life and city life, what life was like on galley ships and passenger sailing ships, how doctors were trained, and the state of women’s education. The author also discusses the background behind Louis XIV’s policies, illustrating their impact on French civilization, both during this time and for generations to come. A must-read for anyone interested in French history.
Into the Wardrobe
Published in the early 1950s, C. S. Lewis's seven Chronicles of Narnia were proclaimed instant children's classics and have been hailed in The Oxford Companion to Children's Literature as "the most sustained achievement in fantasy for children by a 20th-century author." But how could Lewis (a formidable critic, scholar, and Christian apologist)conjure up the kind of adventures in which generations of children (and adults) take such delight? In this engaging and insightful book, C. S. Lewis expert David C. Downing invites readers to join his vivid exploration of the Chronicles of Narnia, offering a detailed look at the enchanting stories themselves and also focusing on the extraordinary intel...

Out of My Bone
Although best known as the wife of C. S. Lewis, Joy Davidman was an accomplished writer in her own right, with several published works to her credit. Out of My Bone tells Davidman s life story in her own words through her numerous letters most never published before and her autobiographical essay "The Longest Way Round." / Gathered and expertly introduced by Don W. King, these letters reveal Davidman's persistent search for truth, her curious, incisive mind, and her arresting, sharply penetrating voice. They chronicle her religious, philosophical, and intellectual journey from secular Judaism to atheism to Communism to Christianity. Her personal engagement with large issues offers key insigh...
No Ordinary People
C. S. Lewis believed that our dealings with others have eternal importance, emphasizing that we are always helping one another toward perfection or destruction. He wrote, "There are no ordinary people." Joel Heck, author of several books about C.S. Lewis and creator of the internet database "Chronologically C.S. Lewis," has tracked Lewis's life and thought in amazing detail. In NO ORDINARY PEOPLE, he explores 21 friendships divided into three categories: Side-by-Side Friends, Opponents, But Friends, Co-Workers and Fellow Pilgrims. In these fascinating vignettes, even the most seasoned scholar will discover a wealth of new information. Impeccably researched, and including over 50 photographs, this book has a unique place next to Lewis biographies.
Essential C. S. Lewis
A selection of Lewis' work, including essays, letters, poems, and texts of "The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe," "Perelandra" and "Abolition of Man."
Selected Literary Essays
This volume includes over twenty of C. S. Lewis's most important literary essays, written between 1932 and 1962. The topics discussed range from Chaucer to Kipling, from 'The Literary Impact of the Authorized Version' to 'Psycho-Analysis and Literary Criticism,' from Shakespeare and Bunyan to Sir Walter Scott and William Morris. Common to each essay, however, is the lively wit, the distinctive forthrightness and the discreet erudition which characterizes Lewis's best critical writing.
