The C. S. Lewis Signature Classics: An Anthology of 8 C. S. Lewis Titles: Mere Christianity, the Screwtape Letters, Miracles, the Great Divorce, the ... the Abolition of Man, and the Four Loves

This book is excellent value for money because it contains the eight most important Lewis classics, including Mere Christianity (the greatest of them all), in a single volume.C.S. Lewis, author of the Chronicles of Narnia, was a highly gifted writer in English. Among all the great English writers, only George Orwell comes close to Lewis' particular gift in terms of discussing extremely complex ideas in crystal clear language accessible to all. In fact, these classics are worth reading for literary merit alone - and as a masterclass in how to write.In particular, I would draw your attention to the Abolition of Man. I think this essay is particularly relevant in our own times. He makes a powerful critique of society and educational institutions - being C.S. Lewis he is also extremely gentlemanly in his criticisms - and he shows the wisdom of inherited traditions.

Mere Christianity good, others verbose and sometimes loquacious. The love chapters are interesting.

Really well presented, great gift
