Somehow, by the end of this, I felt that I had come with Lewis to the end of a long and rich journey, and I am more because of it. ( ) When Lewis was 51 years old and long established at Magdalen College, Oxford, he wrote the first of this collection of letters to an American widow. She was described as a "very charming, gracious, southern aristocratic lady who loved to talk and speak well". In them are his antipathy to journalism, advertising, snobbery, psychoanalysis, and the petty practices that sap freedoms. They identify events in his life after 1950 including his marriage to Joy Davidman and her death three years later. 30. [Letters to an American Lady] by C. S. Lewis (1967) (reread) 3/5 C. S. Lewis was a prolific letter-writer and kept up an impressive correspondence with readers, friends, colleagues etc. The American lady is constantly complaining about smaller and major things in her life and Lewis tries his best to cheer her up. There are interesting thoughts from Lewis on various subjects in the letters, also interesting details on his private life. Recommended only to fans of C. S. Lewis. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
On October 26, 1950, C. S. Lewis wrote the first of more than a hundred letters he would send to a woman he had never met, but with whom he was to maintain a correspondence for the rest of his life. Ranging broadly in subject matter, the letters discuss topics as profound as the love of God and as frivolous as preferences in cats. Lewis himself clearly had no idea that these letters would ever see publication, but they reveal facets of his character little known even to devoted readers of his fantasy and scholarly writings -- a man patiently offering encouragement and guidance to another Christian through the day-to-day joys and sorrows of ordinary life. Letters to an American Lady stands as a fascinating and moving testimony to the remarkable humanity and even more remarkable Christianity of C. S. Lewis, and is richly deserving of the position it now takes among the balance of his Christian writings. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
