Overview

  Amazon.com Review

The Great Divorce is C.S. Lewis's : the narrator bears strong resemblance to Lewis (by way of Dante); his Virgil is the fantasy writer ; and upon boarding a bus in a nondescript neighborhood, the narrator is taken to Heaven and Hell. The book's primary message is presented with almost oblique tidiness--"There are only two kinds of people in the end: those who say to God, 'Thy will be done,' and those to whom God says, in the end, 'Thy will be done.'" However, the narrator's descriptions of sin and temptation will hit quite close to home for many readers. Lewis has a genius for describing the intricacies of vanity and self-deception, and this book is tremendously persistent in forcing its reader to consider the ultimate consequences of everyday pettiness. --Michael Joseph Gross --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title. Review ‘Mr. Lewis rouses curiosity about life after death only to sharpen awareness of this world.’Guardian“Lewis, perhaps more than any other twentieth century writer, forced those who listened to him and read his works to come to terms with their own philosophical presuppositions.” Los Angeles Times --This text refers to the edition.
