{"product_id":"9781619706651","title":"Reflecting the Eternal: Dante's Divine Comedy in the Novels of C.S. Lewis","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe characters, plots, and potent language of C. S. Lewis's novels reveal everywhere the modern writer's admiration for Dante's \u003ci\u003eDivine Comedy\u003c\/i\u003e. Throughout his career Lewis drew on the structure, themes, and narrative details of Dante's medieval epic to present his characters as spiritual pilgrims growing toward God.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eDante's portrayal of sin and sanctification, of human frailty and divine revelation, are evident in all of Lewis's best work. Readers will see how a modern author can make astonishingly creative use of a predecessor's material—in this case, the way Lewis imitated and adapted medieval ideas about spiritual life for the benefit of his modern audience.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eNine chapters cover all of Lewis's novels, from \u003ci\u003ePilgrim's Regress\u003c\/i\u003e and his science-fiction to \u003ci\u003eThe Chronicles of Narnia\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eTill We Have Faces\u003c\/i\u003e. Readers will gain new insight into the sources of Lewis's literary imagination that represented theological and spiritual principles in his clever, compelling, humorous, and thoroughly human stories.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hendrickson Publishers, Incorporated","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47036816457968,"sku":"9781619706651","price":10.39,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781619706651_p0.jpg?v=1763859831","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781619706651","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
