À propos de cet audio
This is an extensive collection of short essays and other pieces by C. S. Lewis that have been brought together in one volume for the first time. As well as his many books, letters, and poems, Lewis also wrote a great number of essays and shorter pieces on various subjects. He wrote extensively on Christian theology and the defense of faith but also on various ethical issues and on the nature of literature and storytelling. In this essay collection we find a treasure trove of Lewis' reflections on diverse topics.

Histoire
In Foundation the chronicler of London and of its river, the Thames, takes us from the primeval forests of England's prehistory to the death of the first Tudor king, Henry VII, in 1509. He guides us from the building of Stonehenge to the founding of the two great glories of medieval England: common law and the cathedrals. He shows us glimpses of the country's most distant past - a Neolithic stirrup found in a grave, a Roman fort, a Saxon tomb, a medieval manor house.

Histoire
Set in the pre-Christian world of Glome on the outskirts of Greek civilization, it is a tale of two princesses: the beautiful Psyche, who is loved by the god of love himself, and Orual, Psyche's unattractive and embittered older sister, who loves Psyche with a destructive possessiveness. Her frustration and jealousy over Psyche's fate sets Orual on the troubled path of self-discovery. Lewis's last work of fiction, this is often considered his best by critics.

Histoire
Very few people know that Mark Twain wrote a major work on Joan of Arc. Still fewer know that he considered it not only his most important, but also his best work. He spent 12 years in research and many months in France doing archival work, and then made several attempts until he felt he finally had the story he wanted to tell.

Histoire
Drawing on previously unpublished eyewitness accounts, prizewinning historian Donald L. Miller has written what critics are calling one of the most powerful accounts of warfare ever published. Here are the horror and heroism of World War II in the words of the men who fought it, the journalists who covered it, and the civilians who were caught in its fury. Miller gives us an up-close, deeply personal view of a war that was more savagely fought - and whose outcome was in greater doubt - than one might imagine. This is the war that Americans on the home front would have read about had they had access to previously censored testimony.

Histoire
It was to be the war to end all wars, and it began at 11:15 on the morning of June 28, 1914, in an outpost of the Austro-Hungarian Empire called Sarajevo. It would officially end nearly five years later. Unofficially, however, it has never ended: Many of the horrors we live with today are rooted in the First World War. The Great War left millions of civilians and soldiers maimed or dead. It also saw the creation of new technologies of destruction: tanks, planes, and submarines; machine guns and field artillery; poison gas and chemical warfare.

Performance is ok. Not a fan of Ralph Cosham (lacks enthusiasm in my opinion, though his relatively monotonous tone fits the academic tone of the texts). For a great CS Lewis performer available on audible, see "The Great Divorce" or "Screwtape Letters", where performers bring energy to the text. Still--very easy to listen to if you'd rather listen than read.

C.S. Lewis, One of the Greats and a Must Read
From atheist to devote Christian C.S. Lewis has transcended all others in his interpretation and explanation of Christianity. This frumpy intellectual has taught me more about love then any shallow hollywood type could ever. If you want to understand love listen to this man.

So much Lewis
This book is a must for hard core C.S Lewis fans. It contained a large amount of Lewis's apologetic work and many less known works like the Dark Tower as well as some very interesting correspondence with various groups. If you love Lewis, you will love this book. #Audible1

must have
loved it. Great reading and has tons of content, including the weight of glory and the dark tower, which I don't believe is worth buying as a book, it's quite incomplete, but listening it here was quite interesting to hear.

Great audiobok
Great audiobook. Was very interesting and informative, as well as entertaining. Mr. Lewis shows so much insight within his essays on different aspects of the christian faith, and his non-fiction stories are quite entertaining and filled me with wonderment. Some of the stories, near the end of the audiobook in particular, really grabbed my attention and I was sorry to learn they had never been finished; I still think of them and wish I could hear the ending!
