Clive Staples Lewis (1898–1963) was a famous British philosopher, theologian, philologist and literary historian. However, it was his writing that brought him truly widespread fame - after all, it was this strict teacher at Oxford and Cambridge who became one of the most outstanding English-language writers of the twentieth century, who, among other things, wrote the legendary cycle “The Chronicles of Narnia”, the total circulation of which exceeded 100 million copies. What is a “miracle”—the intervention of some supernatural forces in the natural course of things? Why is the attitude towards miracles so complex and ambiguous even in modern Christianity? And is the idealistic picture of the world really so strikingly different from the realistic one? In addition to the essay “The Miracle,” which occupies a special place in Lewis’s religious and philosophical heritage, the collection also includes a number of other works that characterize the range of intellectual interests of this extraordinary thinker—philosophical, journalistic, and literary critical.
