À propos de cet audio

A masterpiece of satire, this classic has entertained and enlightened readers the world over with its sly and ironic portrayal of human life and foibles from the vantage point of Screwtape, a highly placed assistant to "Our Father Below". At once wildly comic, deadly serious, and strikingly original, C.S. Lewis gives us the correspondence of the worldly-wise old Devil to his nephew, Wormwood, a novice demon in charge of securing the damnation of an ordinary young man.

The Screwtape Letters is the most engaging account of temptation, and triumph over it, ever written.

Ce que les critiques en disent

Audie Award Finalist, Inspirational/Spiritual, 2007

Known for The Chronicles of Narnia, C.S. Lewis wrote the wittiest defense of Christianity ever. Humorist John Cleese won AudioFile Earphones for his 1999 enactment of the correspondence between two devils plotting the damnation of one man's soul. Ralph Cosham is a slightly less demented fiend, but the text itself remains hilarious.... Cosham's organ-like voice also lends resonance.... This is, therefore, the best audio ever spoken of the funniest defense of Christianity ever written." (AudioFile magazine)

"Lewis' satire is a Christian classic....[his] take on human nature is as on-target as it was when the letters were first published in 1941." (Library Journal)

Totally pleased to have found this classic by CS Lewis free as part of my membership in Audible. As always, a brilliant allegory using language that requires thinking.

An old favourite

I took a while to finish this audiobook, one chapter at a time, in between other audiobooks. It contains a lot of substance, and going through quickly would have caused indigestion.

While this is Christian literature, there is lots of wisdom that stem from C.S. Lewis’s shrewd observation of human nature and politics. Over half a century on after Lewis completed this work, the observations are as spot-on as before.

Wise words on human nature

CS Lewis wrote this in the 1940’s. Here we are 80 years later we’re seeing similar societal behaviours. The enemy is up to his same old tricks.

So relevant in todays’ climate
