From the author of Mere Christianity, the greatest Christian thinker of our time offers an extraordinary meditation upon good and evil, grace and judgement in this timeless novel.

In C. S. Lewis's dazzling allegory, he finds himself in the depths of Hell boarding a golden bus bound for heaven. He comes across a host of supernatural beings who demonstrate the consequences of everyday behaviour. Lewis' new and profound revelation is the discovery that the gates of Hell are locked from the inside.

An extraordinary meditation upon good and evil, grace and judgement, in this timeless novel, Lewis questions, whether Heaven and Hell are real and if so, if one can exist without the other? The Great Divorce challenges us to reflect on our lives and the profound spiritual consequences of our everyday decisions.

Über den Autor

Born in Ireland in 1898, Clive Staples Lewis gained a triple First at Oxford and was Fellow and Tutor at Magdalen College from 1925-54, where he was a contemporary of Tolkien. In 1954 he became Professor of Mediaeval and Renaissance Literature at Cambridge. C. S. Lewis was for many years an atheist, until his conversion, memorably described in his autobiography 'Surprised by Joy': "I gave in, and admitted that God was God ... perhaps the most dejected and reluctant convert in all England." He is celebrated for his famous series of children's books, the Narnia Chronicles (which have been filmed and broadcast many times), as well as his literary criticism and science fiction. C. S. Lewis died on 22nd November 1963.
