S. Lewis have a broad and enduring appeal. Although he is best known for the iconic \u003cem\u003eChronicles of Narnia\u003c\/em\u003e series, C. S. Lewis was actually a man of many literary parts. Already well-known as a scholar in the 1930's, he became a famous broadcaster during World War Two and wrote in many genres, including satire (\u003cem\u003eThe Screwtape Letters\u003c\/em\u003e), science fiction (\u003cem\u003ePerelandra\u003c\/em\u003e), a novel (\u003cem\u003eTill We Have Faces\u003c\/em\u003e), and many other books on Christian belief, such as \u003cem\u003eMere Christianity\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eMiracles\u003c\/em\u003e. His few sermons remain touchstones of their type. In addition to these, Lewis wrote hundreds of poems and articles on social and cultural issues, many books and articles in his field of literary criticism and history, and thousands of letters. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAt Oxford University he became a charismatic lecturer and conversationalist. Taken together, his writings have engaged and influenced, often very deeply, millions of readers. Now Lewis societies, television documentaries, movies, radio plays, and theatrical treatments of his work and life have become common, and he is frequently quoted by journalists, critics, and public thinkers. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis \u003cem\u003eVery Short Introduction\u003c\/em\u003e delves into the vast corpus of C. S. Lewis's work, discussing its core themes and lasting appeal. As James Como shows, C. S. Lewis's life is just as interesting as his work. A complex man, he came to his knowledge, beliefs, and wisdom only after much tortuous soul-searching and many painful events. Moving chronologically through Lewis's life, Como provides throughout a picture of the whole man, his work, and his enduring legacy. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eABOUT THE SERIES: \u003c\/strong\u003e The \u003cem\u003eVery Short Introductions\u003c\/em\u003e series from Oxford University Press contains hundreds of titles in almost every subject area.
