The works of C. S. Lewis that make up this collection are almost (or completely) unknown to the domestic reader, but are all the more interesting to fans of both the artistic and philosophical creativity of this classic of British literature of the twentieth century. Full of soft lyricism and at the same time purely English, witty memoirs in which Lewis, already in his declining years, analyzes the events that led him from the atheism of his youth to the sincere and deep faith of maturity. Miraculously escaping fire after the death of the writer, an excerpt from an unfinished novel, with which Lewis never had time to continue his fantastic-philosophical “The Space Trilogy.” And finally, a truly heartbreaking diary of genuine, confessional sincerity, which the author kept after the tragic death of his beloved wife, the diary of a man who found the courage to explore his grief and turn it into a source of strength.
