startling wit, an overwhelming imagination. . . ."Saturday Review

"Geoffrey Howard's skilled narration keeps the listener riveted. His scholarly
handling of the text minimizes characterization, while easily distinguishing

entices the listener to address serious questions of temptation and morality."

Perelandra is a planet of pleasure, an unearthly, misty world of strange desires,
sweet smells, and delicious tastes, where beasts are friendly and naked beauty
is unashamed, a new Garden of Eden, where the story of the oldest temptation

that, while it may seem quaint in its treatment of women today, nonetheless
shows the capability of science to be an evil force tempting a ruler away from
the path that has produced a paradisiacal kingdom.

Clive Staples Lewis (1898-1963) was born in Belfast, Northern Ireland and was educated at Cherbourg House, Malvern College, and Oxford. He was professor of medieval and renaissance English at the University of Cambridge. His conversion from atheism to Christianity in 1931 resulted in a flow of outstanding theological books but it was The Chronicles of Narnia that he became best known for.
