C. S. Lewis
Clive Staples Lewis (1898-1963) was one of the intellectual giants of the twentieth century and arguably one of the most influential writers of his day. He was a Fellow and Tutor in English Literature at Oxford University until 1954, when he was unanimously elected to the Chair of Medieval and Renaissance Literature at Cambridge University, a position he held until his retirement. He wrote more than thirty books, allowing him to reach a vast audience, and his works continue to attract thousands of new readers every year. His most distinguished and popular accomplishments include Out of the Silent Planet, The Great Divorce, The Screwtape Letters, and the universally acknowledged classics The Chronicles of Narnia. To date, the Narnia books have sold over 100 million copies and have been transformed into three major motion pictures. Clive Staples Lewis (1898-1963) fue uno de los intelectuales más importantes del siglo veinte y podría decirse que fue el escritor cristiano más influyente de su tiempo. Fue profesor particular de literatura inglesa y miembro de la junta de gobierno en la Universidad Oxford hasta 1954, cuando fue nombrado profesor de literatura medieval y renacentista en la Universidad Cambridge, cargo que desempeñó hasta que se jubiló. Sus contribuciones a la crítica literaria, literatura infantil, literatura fantástica y teología popular le trajeron fama y aclamación a nivel internacional. C. S. Lewis escribió más de treinta libros, lo cual le permitió alcanzar una enorme audiencia, y sus obras aún atraen a miles de nuevos lectores cada año. Sus más distinguidas y populares obras incluyen Las Crónicas de Narnia, Los Cuatro Amores, Cartas del Diablo a Su Sobrino y Mero Cristianismo.

- Calificación: 4 de 5 estrellas4/5A senior devil gives advice on tempting humans to his nephew, a junior devil
- Calificación: 4 de 5 estrellas4/5Always a good read with insight into temptation and the human condition.
- Calificación: 4 de 5 estrellas4/5I came to this work expecting it to be a clever yet annoying apologetic for Mr. Lewis' vision of Christianity. While it is an apologia, it's remarkably fun listening. Mr. Lewis puts into Screwtape's letters some things he probably couldn't have gotten away with in a different format. I'm not sure, but it certainly seems like there were some very direct personal jabs in "Screwtape's" letters. Much to my surprise, there is a whole lot of really juicy insights into human psychology and the human condition here. Even when I disagree with his conclusions (most of the time) I have to admire his insights.
I also have to admire his rhetorical skills. For all that I disagree with him, I wouldn't want to debate him. The man is damn good at constructing a logical argument.
If I were a younger person, and had been raised in Mr. Lewis' variety of Christianity, I probably would have loved this work. I imagine a lot of liberal Christians take great comfort in Mr. Lewis's implicit contention that loveing Christianity is objectively true. I can see why this work has stayed so popular for so long.
Weirdly enough, this felt less directly didactic than his Narnia books. Then again, I read the Narnia series expecting a fantasy adventure story. If I had expected it to be apologetics in fantasy form I might have felt less beaten by the metaphor hammer.
I am very likely to re-read this one. While "simply" a series of letters, what Screwtapes includes and excludes from his letters shapes a story with a lot of depth and complexity. Aside from that, this is worth examining for the quality and depth of the rhetorical/argumentation skills displayed. I think I can learn alot about constructing persuasive arguments from this work. - Calificación: 4 de 5 estrellas4/5In Screwtapes' letters and toast, Lewis creates an utterly mundane Hell, filled with bureaucrats and researchers, secret police and cooks. The contrast between this mundanity and the supposed Eternal Torture-Hole of the Damned is an amusing thread throughout the letters, as is the very glee that Screwtape shows while dissecting the finer points of Underwordly strategy.
- Calificación: 4 de 5 estrellas4/5enjoyed it although it was hard for me to get through it
- Calificación: 5 de 5 estrellas5/5Letters from an experienced devil (Screwtape,a tempter) to a new, young tempter (Wormwood). Screwtape attempts to instruct and correct Wormwood on the art of tempting his "patient" to keep him from the Enemy (God). Takes place during World War II. I found this to be a great read and well worth the wait to finally get my hands on a copy. The language is hard to concentrate on with much background noise. I read at night while my husband watches television and I found the television to be very distracting to me. I had my best reading sessions in complete silence, but that is just how I read. If you are easily distracted, be sure to read in quiet. The story holds some great lessons for Christian living.
- Calificación: 4 de 5 estrellas4/5Nothing like reading the Screwtape Letters to renew to see how fickle we are and how much we need to approach one another with a good dose of humility and forgiveness. I typically read it once a decade as a reminder.
- Calificación: 4 de 5 estrellas4/5This book was very creatively done. It is a humorous read from a devil's point of view. Not only that, but it has a way of making you stop and realize when you are exhibiting some of the traits / actions / vices that the senior devil (Screwtape) is describing to the junior devil / tempter (Wormwood). A terrific read, though the style of English used in the letters slowed me down a little bit.
- Calificación: 4 de 5 estrellas4/5I don't know where to start with reviewing The Screwtape Letters. Perhaps with the fact -- probably already well-known to people who get my reviews in their inbox -- that I am not a Christian, but a Unitarian Universalist. But I do love reading C. S. Lewis' work: I think he was very good as using cool intellect and reason to examine himself in his faith (not just the faith of others, which would likely be unbearably holier-than-thou), a process myself and other UUs tend to value highly. He was ready to think about his faith, and seek answers -- or understanding, at least -- of things others deem unfathomable, the whys of things.
The Screwtape letters is a fictional frame for more of that work, really. He examines the ways that people are lead away from their faiths, not just through large sins like unchastity but through being proud of humility, for example... And the way he puts this makes it not only an examination of Christian goodness, but general moral goodness.
Definitely worth a read for that, and amusing in it's own way, as well -- old Uncle Screwtape's unfortunate transformation, for example. - Calificación: 5 de 5 estrellas5/5Amazing book which tells how the Devil thinks and how he manipulates us in order to try to keep us away from God.
- Calificación: 5 de 5 estrellas5/5A unique book. I have read it over and over again for the past 20 years. There is so much truth in it.
- Calificación: 5 de 5 estrellas5/5Oh the cunning of Satan and his evil minions. Lewis helps us see a large host of ways in which those little buggers can get at us and hopefully helps us be wiser to evil influence!
- Calificación: 5 de 5 estrellas5/5A very clever way to look at Christianity. What kinds of things or attitudes would a devil look for in you that would help him to tempt you? Each letter is a quick read but very thought-provoking ... and humorous!
- Calificación: 5 de 5 estrellas5/5what a reflection! shows how easily we are manipulated into wrongdoing.
- Calificación: 5 de 5 estrellas5/5A wonderful perspective on man and Satan.
- Calificación: 4 de 5 estrellas4/5A senior devil gives advice on tempting humans to his nephew, a junior devil
- Calificación: 5 de 5 estrellas5/5The Screwtape Letters was written by C.S.Lewis in 1942 with WW2 as the backdrop. This is a series of letters (epistolary style literary work) written by Screwtape to his young nephew, Wormwood, advising him on how to secure the soul of 'the patient'. It also contained the sequel, Screwtape Proposes a Toast in which Screwtape addressed the graduating class of tempters. This was published in 1959 and addresses the politics of the post war world. C.S.Lewis uses this satirical format to address the Christian life. Many of the chapters discuss love. Letter 19 addresses God's love for humanity. Letter 26 addresses courtship. I also very much enjoyed the letters on time, reality, music and noise. There is so much in this little book that rereading it many times would not exhaust the nuggets of truth.
- Calificación: 5 de 5 estrellas5/5READING THIS FOR MY C.S. LEWIS CLASS!!OMG this is my favorite CS Lewis book of all-time!!! *fangirly time*Seriously, this book is incredible, eye-opening, memorable, a little creepy, and very insightful! If you like CS Lewis, or are interested in reading some of his more "grown-up" books, please please give this one a shot! I promise you, you'll never read anything else like it again.
- Calificación: 1 de 5 estrellas1/5I'm really not sure what the author was going for but this was not fun to read. It was not funny or clever or even especially original. There was a point when I though Lewis was going to use a plot twist to improve the story (when Screwtape start apologizing for his excessive language) but that patched itself up too nicely.
There was really no conflict or antagonist (or even protagonist, for that matter). All in all it was a dull book that came of more like a poor man's sermon than viable literature. Truly disappointing! - Calificación: 4 de 5 estrellas4/5A very illuminating look at how we are constantly tempted in small ways. I recommend this to book to every Christian. My only complaint is that I wish it was longer!
- Calificación: 5 de 5 estrellas5/5Incisive, brilliant, and entertaining.
- Calificación: 5 de 5 estrellas5/5Excellent full-cast dramatization of this C. S. Lewis classic."Diabolical" Radio Theater at its best."The story is carried by the senior demon Screwtape played magnificently by award-winning actor Andy Serkis (“Gollum” in Lord of the Rings) as he shares correspondence to his apprentice demon Wormwood." (from audio jacket)4.5 ★
- Calificación: 5 de 5 estrellas5/5A unique approach but the plot is a little thin and the book is short
- Calificación: 5 de 5 estrellas5/5An entertaining bit of fiction with a real world insight into the spiritual warfare behind our surface existence. If you choose to listen to a recorded version of this, be sure to get the one recorded by John Cleese: priceless.
- Calificación: 4 de 5 estrellas4/5I don't consider myself a particularly religious person, but I enjoyed The Screwtape Letter immensely. It has a lot of great observations on life and what it means to be a person that can be enjoyed by everyone, not just the Christians or prospective Christians that Lewis was writing towards.
Favorite quote:
"All mortals tend to turn into the thing they are pretending to be. This is elementary." - Calificación: 3 de 5 estrellas3/5A series of correspondence from the lowerarchy in Hell, where a high-ranking bureaucrat provides advice to his rookie nephew. Lewis argues that it is not the "big" sins that get us in trouble, but the compilation of little ones.
- Calificación: 5 de 5 estrellas5/5Excellent spiritual advice, memorable writing (sometimes extremely funny in a thoroughly deadpan way), and Calvin's first-grade teacher. I would say that the only problem with this book is that it isn't longer, but that would be a reflex -- it's diminuitive, at 209 pages of liberally-spaced type, but in that small space it does everything that it wants to, and then some. A masterpiece even by Lewis' standards.
- Calificación: 3 de 5 estrellas3/5I like the idea of the book (ie. the point of view it's written from). I've read 'Lord Foulgrin's letters' which is probably inspired by this book. I found foulgrin easier to read than screwtape which I believe has to do with the times they were written in and also the writers themselves of course! CS Lewis has such an amazing minds and it sends my brains wacko! While I believe I'm quite intelligent in some areas- philosophy (or something along that line) is really not my cup of tea. He stressed that God loves people whilst people are really not worthy of it. That's what I mostly got from it & also going to church & going through the 'motions' of being 'Christian' doesn't mean that you're a Christian. Complacency is a threat & we have to surrender our will each day to God to fight this 'war'.
- Calificación: 3 de 5 estrellas3/5'The Screwtape Letters' was not an easy read for me. I thought the content and the perspective were interesting, but I don't think I fully understood everything so it was harder to appreciate it. I'll probably come back to this book in a few years.
- Calificación: 5 de 5 estrellas5/5deep, thought-provoking, chilling

Cartas del Diablo a Su Sobrino - C. S. Lewis
I
Mi querido Orugario:
Tomo nota de lo que dices acerca de orientar las lecturas de tu paciente y de ocuparte de que vea muy a menudo a su amigo materialista, pero ¿no estarás pecando de ingenuo? Parece como si creyeses que los razonamientos son el mejor medio de librarle de las garras del Enemigo. Si hubiese vivido hace unos (pocos) siglos, es posible que sí: en aquella época, los hombres todavía sabían bastante bien cuándo estaba probada una cosa, y cuándo no lo estaba; y una vez demostrada, la creían de verdad; todavía unían el pensamiento a la acción, y estaban dispuestos a cambiar su modo de vida como consecuencia de una cadena de razonamientos. Pero ahora, con las revistas semanales y otras armas semejantes, hemos cambiado mucho todo eso. Tu hombre se ha acostumbrado, desde que era un muchacho, a tener dentro de su cabeza, bailoteando juntas, una docena de filosofías incompatibles. Ahora no piensa, ante todo, si las doctrinas son ciertas
o falsas
, sino académicas
o prácticas
, superadas
o actuales
, convencionales
o implacables
. La jerga, no la argumentación, es tu mejor aliado en la labor de mantenerle apartado de la iglesia. ¡No pierdas el tiempo tratando de hacerle creer que el materialismo es la verdad! Hazle pensar que es poderoso, o sobrio, o valiente; que es la filosofía del futuro. Eso es lo que le
