A Masterpiece of Satire on Hellโs Latest Novelties and Heavenโs Unanswerable Answer
C.S. Lewisโs The Screwtape Letters has entertained and enlightened readers the world over with its sly and ironic portrayal of human life and foibles from the unique vantage point of Screwtape, a highly placed assistant to โOur Father Below.โ At once wildly comic, deadly serious, and strikingly original, C.S. Lewisย gives us the correspondence of the wordly-wise devil to his nephew Wormwood, a novice demon in charge of securing the damnation of an ordinary young man. The Screwtape Lettersย is the most engaging account of temptationโand triumph over itโever written.ย
