Image and Imagination presents some of C. S. Lewis's finest literary criticism and religious exposition. This selection gathers together forty book reviews-never before reprinted-as well as four major essays which have been unavailable for many decades, and a fifth essay, "Image and Imagination, " published for the first time. The essays and reviews substantiate Lewis's reputation as an eloquent and authoritative critic across a wide range of literature, and as a keen judge of contemporary scholarship, while his reviews of The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings will be of additional interest to scholars and students of fantasy.

Image and Imagination

C. S. Lewis était convaincu que les arguments habituellement opposés à la foi chrétienne l'étaient sans étude ni réflexion sérieuse, ni même référence aux convictions des chrétiens cultivés. Dans cet ouvrage, il s'interroge sur la possibilité et la cohérence des miracles, utilisant des concepts philosophiques servis par un langage clair et abordable. Avec subtilité et conviction, il renvoie les cyniques à leur manque d'imagination et, dans une affirmation poétique et joyeuse, il atteste que des miracles se produisent réellement. Cette nouvelle traduction, qui restitue fidèlement le style du texte original, inclut de nombreuses notes qui en facilitent la compréhension. Miracles s'adresse ainsi aux lecteurs désireux de mieux comprendre la logique étayant la réalité des interventions divines dans le monde et sensibles à la qualité d'une oeuvre classique de la littérature anglaise.

La travesia del Viajero del Alba - The Voyage of the Dawn Treader (Spanish edition)

C. S. Lewis's illuminating reflections on Milton's Paradise Lost, the seminal classic that profoundly influenced Christian thought as well as Lewis's own. In Preface to Paradise Lost, the Christian apologist and revered scholar and professor of literature closely examines the style, content, structure, and themes of Milton's masterpiece, a retelling of the biblical story of the Fall of Humankind, Satan's temptation, and the expulsion of Adam and Eve from the Garden of Eden. Considering the story within the context of the Western literary tradition, Lewis offers invaluable insights into Paradise Lost and the nature of literature itself, unveiling the poem's beauty and its wisdom. Lewis explains and defends the literary form known as "Epic, " pondering simple yet perceptive questions such as: What is an Epic? Why, in the seventeenth century, did Milton choose to write his story in this style? In what sense is Paradise Lost similar to the Homeric poems or the Anglo Saxon Beowulf? In what sense did Milton develop Virgil's legacy? With the clarity of thought and style that are the hallmarks of his writing, Lewis provides answers with a lucidity and lightness that deepens our understanding of this literary form and both illuminates Milton's immortal epic and its meaning and inspires readers to revisit it. Ultimately, he reminds us why elements including ritual, splendor, and joy deserve to exist and hold a sacred place in human life. One of Lewis's most revered scholarly works, Preface to Paradise Lost is indispensable for literature, philosophy, and religion scholars and for ardent fans of Lewis's writings.
