S. Lewis considered his novel \u003cem\u003ePerelandra\u003c\/em\u003e (1943) among his best works. A triumph of imaginative science fiction, \u003cem\u003ePerelandra\u003c\/em\u003e—the second volume of Lewis’s “Space Trilogy”—is also theologically ambitious. \u003cem\u003eC. S. Lewis’s \u003c\/em\u003ePerelandra: \u003cem\u003eReshaping the Image of the Cosmos \u003c\/em\u003eexplores how the novel synthesizes the three traditions of cosmology, mythology, and Christianity. The first group of essays considers the cosmological implications of the world Lewis depicts in \u003cem\u003ePerelandra \u003c\/em\u003ewhile the second group examines the relationship between morality and meaning in Lewis’s created cosmology of the planet Perelandra.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis work brings together a world-class group of literary and theological scholars and Lewis specialists that includes Paul S. Fiddes, Monika B. Hilder, Sanford Schwartz, Michael Travers, and Michael Ward. The collection is enhanced by Walter Hooper’s reminiscences of his conversations with Lewis about \u003cem\u003ePerelandra\u003c\/em\u003e and the possible provenance of the stories in Lewis’s imagination.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eC. S. Lewis scholars and devoted readers alike will find this volume indispensible to the understanding of this canonical work of speculative fiction.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Kent State University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47135419695344,"sku":"9781612777184","price":22.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781612777184_p0.jpg?v=1769904108","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781612777184","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
