The Great Divorce, a Dream

Lewis, C. S.

£50.00

C.S. LewisÕs dazzling allegory about heaven and hell Ð and the chasm fixed between them Ð is one of his most brilliantly imaginative tales, as he takes issue with the ideas in William BlakeÕs ÔThe Marriage of Heaven and HellÕ. In a dream, the narrator boards a bus on a drizzly afternoon and embarks on an incredible voyage through Heaven and Hell. He meets a host of supernatural beings far removed from his expectations, from the disgruntled, ghostly inhabitants of Hell to the angels and souls who dwell on the plains of Heaven.
