About this listen

Here are two classics of moral philosophy from one of the most revered Christian voices of our time.

In The Abolition of Man, C. S. Lewis reflects on society and nature and the challenges of how best to educate our children. He describes what public education should be and how far from this standard modern education has fallen. Lewis eloquently argues that, as a society, we need to underpin reading and writing lessons with moral education.

In The Great Divorce, Lewis presents his vision of the afterworld. A fictional narrator boards a bus on a drizzly English afternoon and embarks on an incredible voyage through Heaven and Hell, where he meets a host of supernatural beings and comes to some significant realizations about the nature of good and evil.

What the critics say

"These two short works by Lewis are a fine introduction to his eloquent writing, as well as his thought....Robert Whitfield's disciplined and well-modulated voice has an appealingly confident quality." (AudioFile)

It was a pleasure to hear and easy to follow the ideas and thoughts of Lewis.

The narrator is an excellent voice actor.

Fantastic listen! The great divorce tickled the fancy of imagination, whilst creating propositions made by humanity with uncanny familiarity. The abolition of man, stretched my cognitive processes in ways unembarked upon heretofore, raising questions for my reason to grapple and consider! Wonderful, the both of them!

Fantasy and intellectual intrigue:)

I love C S Lewis' insights in both books. Audo version is a perfect way to get a hold of the story

Amazing books

I had to read these books in high school and at the time I really didn't appreciate them. Now I do and will listen to the Great Divorce over and over again

Still a great primice
