À propos de cet audio

In this, the final book in C.S. Lewis's acclaimed Space Trilogy, which includes Out of the Silent Planet and Perelandra, That Hideous Strength concludes the adventures of the matchless Dr. Ransom. Finding himself in a world of superior alien beings and scientific experiments run amok, Dr. Ransom struggles with questions of ethics and morality, applying age-old wisdom to a brave new universe dominated by science. His quest for truth is a journey filled with intrigue and suspense.

Ce que les critiques en disent

"Well-written, fast-paced satirical fantasy." (Time)
"Biting wit, superlatively nonsensical excitement, challenging implications." (New York Times)

Mr Howard, the narrator, has done better than the voices in my head of the many characters in the story.
Mr. Lewis is at his literary best in weaving this climactic final tale in his sci-fi trilogy. I was fully drawn in.

Riveting read or should I say listening

Unforgettable

That Hideous Strength gives a beautiful array of what a complementarity in marriage looks like, what the technophilic world could become (think 1984 or Brave New World), what courage looks like in the midst of challenge, and more.

Jake Meador said it best when he said, "The book has everything—we get to see Lewis’s remarkable skill as a satirist, which is only really apparent in Screwtape among his other books. More importantly, the book combines a pervasive and profoundly Christian critique of modernity with a quite robust hopefulness. I don’t think anyone would regret the time they spent with That Hideous Strength."

great listen, would recommend reading the first two books as well. Lewis has always been a favorite.

great third book

The narrator is very convincing thrusting me into the era as Lewis almost as if touched by the Devine foretells modern progressivism and scientism juxtaposed against the love and duties of husbands and wives owe to one another which grates against the abrasions of today’s modernity.

It was difficult to understand the plot line and the symbolism. I found it tough to stay engaged.

Complex

This had a much different tone than its two predecessors, being set in the present (of its writing) and on Earth, so a starkly realistic contrast to the others. That said, I thoroughly enjoyed the diverse cast of characters and their actions and reactions as the story wound towards its conclusion. If you were a fan of the Narnia books as a child, you will enjoy this.

If your put off by the slow start, hang in there. Wonderful book! Got that overwhelming sadness that comes with the end of an excellent book.
