Recenzii
...C. S. Lewis's List provides an innovative, detailed, and sympathetic engagement with Lewis that offers new vistas from which to gaze upon his life and work. It is warmly recommended to anyone with an interest in Lewis scholarship, the reception of texts, and the intersection of philosophy, literature, and religion.
This is a collection of essays on ten books that Lewis said (when asked in 1962) had the most influence on his life. Lewis's debt to G. K. Chesterton's The Everlasting Man is no surprise, and the essay on it is excellent. And certainly other books on the list reflect Lewis's optimistic view of Christianity. But some of Lewis's selections are a surprise. . An interesting book for Lewis scholars and fans. Summing Up: Recommended. Graduate students, researchers, general readers.
As C. S. Lewis continues to grow in renown in both literary and theological studies in the 21st Century, this unique anthology elucidates the provenance and impact of ten singular works Lewis named as most influential in his development as a thinker and writer. This volume belongs on the shelf of every devoted reader and student of Lewis.
'There is no Frigate like a book,' wrote Emily Dickinson. Like fast ships, good books take us many places. Lewis found it so with the ten books explored in this volume: the ten he named most influential vocationally and in his philosophy of life. If Lewis has taken you on journeys of discovery, you will rejoice to know more about the books that carried his imagination to new horizons. The ten contributors to this collection are like experienced tour guides who show us what to look for when we arrive at these places so enrichingly traversed by Lewis. Clearly, a volume like this needed to be written; the appearance of one so well done is cause for celebration.
Lewis paid the supreme compliment to the classics he read by recalling and embodying their leading ideas in his own works. But exactly how and why did those classics influence Lewis's own thinking? To answer that question, David and Susan Werther's collection brings together first-rate scholars in literature, philosophy, and Christian thought to explore ten of the great books that left their mark on Lewis. Beautifully written and rich with insight, C. S. Lewis's List is an ideal companion for classes on the life and works of Lewis, or for a great-books program with Lewis as tour guide.
