SynopsisThe intrepid professor Dr. Ransom must take on an evil force to save a utopian planet in Perelandra , the second book in C.S. Lewis's classic science fiction Space Trilogy, which also includes Out of the Silent Planet and That Hideous Strength . In Perelandra, Dr. Ransom is recruited by the denizens of Malacandra, befriended in Out of the Silent Planet, to rescue the peace-loving planet Perelandra (Venus) from a terrible threat: a malevolent being from another world who strives to create a new world order, and who must destroy an old and beautiful civilization to do so. Written during the dark hours immediately before and during World War II, C.S. Lewis's Space Trilogy, of which Perelandra is the second volume, stands alongside such works as Albert Camus's The Plague and George Orwell's 1984 as a timeless classic, beloved by succeeding generations as much for the sheer wonder of its storytelling as for the significance of its moral concerns., The second book in C. S. Lewis's acclaimed Space Trilogy, which also includes Out of the Silent Planet and That Hideous Strength , Perelandra continues the adventures of the extraordinary Dr. Ransom. Pitted against the most destructive of human weaknesses, temptation, the great man must battle evil on a new planet -- Perelandra -- when it is invaded by a dark force. Will Perelandra succumb to this malevolent being, who strives to create a new world order and who must destroy an old and beautiful civilization to do so? Or will it throw off the yoke of corruption and achieve a spiritual perfection as yet unknown to man? The outcome of Dr. Ransom's mighty struggle alone will determine the fate of this peace-loving planet., The second book inC. S.

Second in Lewis' space trilogy. Compelling.
C.S. Lewis is renowned for a number of his writings. Perelandra is the 2nd in his space trilogy. I first read it and two companion pieces in the 70's. I am looking forward to revisiting it.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht
