À propos de cet audio
‘You can only find out the rights and wrongs by Reasoning – never by being rude about your opponent’s psychology.’ For C. S. Lewis, reason and logic are the sensible way to approach faith and ethics. Much of the 20th century’s ills are caused by ill-founded beliefs and opinions.
Lewis’s original approach remains as vital today as ever. He is able to take the most convoluted subject, turn it side on and shed bright illumination on it. To be able to see along things rather than at them – just like a beam of sunlight that invades the darkness of a toolshed – is, to Lewis, the way to understanding.
Written variously between 1940 and 1962, this collection of essays represents the best of Lewis’s considerable wisdom on the great ethical and theological concerns of the day.

An Excellent and Versatile collection
I tend to, in my own mind, separate Lewis' works between 'the familar' and 'the difficult': that's not to say that one or the other is better per se, but to deny that there is no such distinction, to suggest that all of Lewis' works are easy to get into would not be true. The Problem of Pain, the Abolition of Man, and especially Miracles are all titles that I would classify as 'difficult' reads, whereas Mere Christianity, the Screwtape Letters, and the Weight of Glory are comparatively much easier for the layman. The former works aren't beyond the layman necessarily in terms of language or logic, but they demand you give your full and constant attention, or else risk being lost and confused mid-argument, unsure of where your attention 'dropped off'. Or at least this is the case for audio versions of his work; I couldn't tell you if this is similarly the case for the print versions.
Here though, there are a good mix of his works; both some of his 'accessible' and some of his 'difficult' essays, letters, sermons and such are here. This is nice as a listener as it adds some variety in both content and in quality. Moreover, due to each work being on a different topic, you don't have to feel bad about 'skipping' works that you find a bit too dense to tackle, or else feels irrelevant. Moreover, there are some real gems here; Chapter 4 in particular, titled 'Equality' I believe, was fantastic, and will be something I'll have to come back to again, as it makes some excellent points on practical 'evangelism' for the modern day Christian.
In conclusion, I ought to add that Peter Noble does a great job at narration. He does sound a bit like a schoolmaster and thus may bore some, but for others- myself among them- he speaks in a relaxing tone, and communicates Lewis' messages clearly, fluidly and with proper emphasis throughout. All in all, no complaints.
So yes; with good content, a solid narrator and a cheap price, this comes quite recommended.
