The Dark Tower and Other Stories

Una colección de relatos futuristas

By C. S. Lewis

Acerca del libro

Publicado por primera vez en el idioma español, La Torre oscura revela otro lado de la mente creativa de Lewis y su fascinación por la realidad y la espiritualidad.

Este libro imprescindible de C. S. Lewis es una colección de relatos futuristas publicada póstumamente. En las obras se recoge su permanente fascinación por la realidad y la espiritualidad. Muchas de ellas están inacabadas, pero contienen una gran sabiduría sobre la naturaleza de la realidad. Esta colección de ficción futurista incluye una impresionante historia de ciencia ficción escrita al principio de su carrera en la que los intelectuales de Cambridge son testigos de la ruptura del espacio-tiempo a través de un “cronoscopio”, un telescopio que mira no solo a otro mundo, sino a otro tiempo. 

Tan poderosa, inventiva y profunda como sus obras teológicas y filosóficas, La torre oscura es una lectura ideal para los fanáticos de J. R. R. Tolkien, el viejo amigo y colega de Lewis.

The Dark Tower

Published for the first time in Spanish, The Dark Tower reveals another side of Lewis’ creative mind and his fascination with reality and spirituality.

This signature book is a repackaged edition of the futuristic collection of short stories by C.S. Lewis published after his death. The works include his longtime fascination with reality and spirituality. Many pieces are unfinished yet provide great wisdom about the nature of reality. This collection of futuristic fiction includes a breathtaking science fiction story written early in his career in which Cambridge intellectuals witness the breach of space-time through a chronoscope—a telescope that looks not just into another world, but into another time. 

As powerful, inventive, and profound as his theological and philosophical works, The Dark Tower is an ideal read for fans of J. R. R. R. Tolkien, Lewis’s longtime friend and colleague.

C. S. Lewis

Biography

Clive Staples Lewis was born in 1898. Known as “Jack” by his friends, Lewis and his good friend J.R.R. Tolkien, the author of The Lord of the Rings trilogy, were part of a writer’s club, The Inklings, who would meet at the local pub to discuss story ideas. Lewis’s fascination with fairytales, myths, and ancient legends coupled with inspiration drawn from his childhood led him to write The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, one of the best-loved books of all time. Six further books in the immensely popular Chronicles of Narnia followed, and the final title, The Last Battle, received the Carnegie Award, one of the highest marks of excellence in children’s literature.
