Lewis, C. S. The World's Last Night and Other Essays
New York Harcourt, Brace & Company 1960 First Edition Cloth
Fine in a Very Good+ dustjacket. Bound in full blue cloth. The spine is stamped in gilt and black; the front panel in gilt. Octavo. Bright yellow endpapers and topstain. 113pps. Stated First Edition. The bottom edge is mildly rubbed, otherwise clean, tight, square, and bright. All tips are sharp. No apparent reading wear and no previous ownership markings. The dustjacket, glossy in a new mylar sleeve, has light rubbing wear at the extremities and a small chip at the upper front tip; the original price (3.00) is intact. A very nice, collector's-quality copy of this essay collection.
"...With his usual tough-minded, witty, and astringent style, C. S. Lewis explores the questions of the relevance of religion -- and specifically the Christian religion -- to our comfortable and modern scientific age.
Is it naive, he asks, to expect prayer to unleash the ultimate power of the universe in man's behalf? Are belief and faith in the unseen and the unproved childlike fantasies in the hardheaded world of laboratories? Is God lost and Christ irrelevant in a time when new forms of life may soon be discovered on distant planets? Is Christian doctrine old-fashioned and irrational?
Included in this book is a new Screwtape dialogue -- the first in years, and in many ways one of the most brilliant and devastating essays the author has ever written..."
