À propos de cet audio
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 timely parable that has become timeless, beloved by succeeding generations as much for the sheer wonder of its storytelling as for the significance of the moral concerns.
Readers who fall in love with Lewis’s fantasy series The Chronicles of Namia as children unfailingly cherish his Space Trilogy as adults; it, too, brings to life strange and magical realms in which epic battles are fought between the forces of light and those of darkness. But in the many layers of its allegory, and the sophistication and piercing brilliance of its insights into the human condition, it occupies a place among the English language’s most extraordinary works for any age, and for all time.
Perelandra is a planet of pleasure, an unearthly, misty world of strange desires, sweet smells, and delicious tastes, where beasts are friendly and naked beauty is unashamed, a new Garden of Eden, where the story of the oldest temptation is enacted in an intriguingly new way. Here, in the second part of C. S. Lewis’s acclaimed Ransom Trilogy, Dr. Ransom’s adventures continue against the backdrop of a religious allegory that, while it may seem quaint in its treatment of women today, nonetheless shows the capability of science to be an evil force tempting a ruler away from the path that has produced a paradisiacal kingdom. Will Perelandra succumb to this malevolent being, who strives to create a new world order, or will it throw off the yoke of corruption and achieve a spiritual perfection as yet unknown to man?

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.

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.

C. S. Lewis's dazzling allegory about Heaven and Hell - and the chasm fixed between them - is one of his most brilliantly imaginative tales, where we discover that the gates of Hell are locked from the inside. In a dream, the narrator boards a bus on a drizzly afternoon in Hell and embarks on an incredible voyage to Heaven. Anyone in Hell is invited on board, and anyone may remain in Heaven if he or she so chooses. But do we really want to live in Heaven?

Ce que les critiques en disent
"Geoffrey Howard's skilled narration keeps the listener riveted. His scholarly handling of the text minimizes characterization, while easily distinguishing the players. Howard's respect for the subject matter equals Lewis's own and entices the listener to address serious questions of temptation and morality." (AudioFile)

Deep and Rich
This is a deep work of fiction, with CS Lewis’s characteristic pattern of allegory and meaning underneath it all. I’ll need to read this again.

The Mythic to Understand Life
A delightful sequel to Out of the Silent Planet. It seems to give me an awakened hunger for I don’t know what. The use of mythic language especially in the final chapter, seemed to pull back a curtain to give me a glimpse of the meaning of my world around me. This will take multiple hearings to extract what I hope from it

Absolutely fantastic novel
It was a great novel, great story. This novel can function as a stand alone, but it does flow from the first book.
It is a retelling is paradise lost so it should be read within that framework. Lewis explores the psychological battle of sin and evil. Ransom is raw and real.

From philosophy to theophany - a different tack
Following on from “Out of the Silent Planet”, this approaches the question of how the female mind, body, and spirit can overcome (or be overcome by) The Adversary. One feels keenly the influence of WWII on the text; it has less of wonder and more of battle at its heart.
It also (unfortunately to my mind) goes very heavily into the question of creation, dominion of humans (or humanoids) over lesser creatures, and the supreme being. In fact, the last quarter of the text was strongly reminiscent of a High Anglican church service.
That said, there is tremendous beauty and power in the language and once again, the narrator presents it with refinement and even reverence. It does end rather abruptly, so I expect the third instalment was already in the works when this was completed. I look forward to hearing the conclusion.

Great work
This novel is my favorite from the author. I loved the parallels with our modern habits and the subtle criticism of our shortcomings. All that is coupled with deep, but easily digested underlying theology. I strongly recommend and also recommend listening to the first novel of the trilogy (though it has a completely different, yet just as potent effect on the soul)

Zoomed through this book and will be reading it again right away. Loved the narrator's voice. He captures the essence of meaning in Lewis's words quite accurately. Easy listening, great quality.

More religious allegory than science fiction.
I love C S Lewis. His prose beautiful and poetic. This novel is written in this beautiful style. However, the theme of this story did not appeal to me much. It is a religious allegory of the book of Genesis; of Eve and Adam. The last chapter was particular painful to listen to as it went on for great lengths about the glory of God. Great book for theological enthusiasts. Not for me though. I was hoping for good ‘ol science fiction.
