Acerca del libro

Este libro es parte de la colección Clásicos selectos de C. S. Lewis.

Un fantástico viaje entre el cielo y el infierno. En El gran divorcio, C. S. Lewis vuelve a desplegar su formidable talento para la fábula y la alegoría. En un sueño, el autor aborda un autobús una tarde lluviosa y se embarca en un asombroso recorrido entre el Infierno y el cielo.

Este viaje se convierte en el punto de partida para una profunda meditación sobre el bien y el mal, que confronta la visión de William Blake en El matrimonio del cielo y el infierno. En palabras del propio Lewis: “Si insistimos en quedarnos con el infierno (o incluso con la Tierra), no veremos el cielo; si aceptamos el cielo, no podremos conservar ni siquiera el más pequeño e íntimo souvenir del Infierno.”

The Great Divorce

This book is part of C. S. Lewis’ Signature Classics collection.

A fantastic journey between Heaven and Hell. In The Great Divorce, C. S. Lewis once again displays his formidable gift for fable and allegory. In a dream, the author boards a bus on a rainy afternoon and embarks on a remarkable journey between Hell and Heaven.

This becomes the starting point for a profound meditation on good and evil, directly challenging William Blake’s vision in The Marriage of Heaven and Hell. In Lewis’s own words: “If we insist on keeping Hell (or even Earth) we shall not see Heaven; if we accept Heaven we shall not be able to retain even the smallest and most intimate souvenirs of Hell.”

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.
