“The light and freshness that bathed me resembled that of a summer morning, a minute or two before sunrise, with this difference that I had the impression of being in a larger space. ..”
Embark with the hero of this marvelous story on the bus that takes him from the hell of Earth to the edge of heaven. There you will meet the misunderstood artist, the cynical intellectual, the bellicose boor, the skeptical scientist, the apostate clergyman. There you will meet a man who persists in claiming “his rights” when he could obtain the joy and freedom that belong to those who choose heaven. You will find there the eternal conflict between the true and the false self, between the character and the person.
But this book goes beyond the anecdote. Lewis addresses with sensitivity, and without ambiguity, the many ways that men concoct to convince themselves that there is no clear distinction between good and evil.
Without making his story a theological allegory that would define what heaven and hell are, Lewis enlightens us with humor on certain follies of the human spirit.
