All of the stories are pretty good, of course since they are unfinished manuscripts, there are not endings for most of them. I appreciate the notes that explain how these were found and details from Lewis life at the time of writing ( ) This is a collection of Lewis’s short fiction, some of it unfinished. The Dark Tower is set in the same universe as the Space Trilogy but not related to the main plot of that series, and it’s unfinished. My favourite story was Forms of Things Unknown about a mission to the moon, and I also enjoyed After Ten Years which reinterprets some Greek mythology. Unfortunately that one is also unfinished, but a couple of Lewis’s friends discuss where he was planning to go with the story based on their conversations with him. A few short stories, leaning on the science fiction side. One stood out as dreadful - "The Shoddy Lands." That one felt like a misogynistic screed, and nothing more. A few others were unremarkable; neither particularly good nor especially bad. However, two of them, the first and last stories in the book - weren't even completed. Unless you are devoted scholar of C.S. Lewis, why would you want to read incomplete works? Skip this and reread The Chronicles of Narnia instead. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

The revered author's definitive collection of short fiction, which explores enduring spiritual and science fiction themes such as space, time, reality, fantasy, God, and the fate of humankind. From C.S. Lewis-the great British writer, scholar, lay theologian, broadcaster, Christian apologist, and author of Mere Christianity, The Screwtape Letters, The Great Divorce, The Chronicles of Narnia, and many other beloved classics-comes a collection of his dazzling short fiction. 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 reveals another side of Lewis's creative mind and his longtime fascination with reality and spirituality. It is ideal reading for fans of J. R. R. Tolkien, Lewis's longtime friend and colleague. No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
