About this listen
A masterpiece of satire, this classic has entertained and enlightened readers the world over with its sly and ironic portrayal of human life 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 and humorous account of temptation - and triumph over it - ever written.

Story5 out of 5 stars 103
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?

Both astonishing and prophetic, The Abolition of Man remains one of C. S. Lewis's most controversial works. Lewis sets out to persuade his audience of the ongoing importance and relevance of universal objective values, such as courage and honor, and the foundational necessity of natural law. He also makes a cogent case that a retreat from these pillars of our educational system, even if in the name of "scientism", would be catastrophic. National Review lists it as number seven on their "100 Best Nonfiction Books of the 20th Century".

A book for all times but especially ours
The letters are wicked and delightful. Joss Auckland is peerless in conveying subtle performances and here he is a joy.
Treat yourself. This is the version to go for.

great analysis of the human condition
a classic, which as the author admits, must have been hard to write. dark and foreboding yet humorous. a deep insight into what makes us tick.

Exquisitely read by the late Joss Ackland
Very well done! Joss animates Lewis' devil in a way that I think Lewis would heartily have approved of I strongly recommend this book

very clever spiritual read
CS Lewis outlines the clever ways the evil one tempts us humans to give up a relationship with God. The narration is entertaining, and the evil villian laughter is amusing.

Delightful
I have always enjoyed this book but listening to it being performed seems even more appropriate. It justs seems so deliciously real when I am listening in on their conversation. Well done!

Very British Accent
The guy who reads the book has a very thick British accent and goes up and down in volume too much. The book itself is great, but the performance is bad.

Hauntingly perfect satire read masterfully.
Haunting and sweet at the same time. What a perfect description of the struggle to be a Christian, from the point of view of the devils who try to tempt us. And the narrator's performance is so perfect in every note. Well worth it.
