Cartas del Diablo A su Sobrino
Cartas del Diablo A su Sobrino | C S Lewis
El eterno clasico sobre "las ultimas novedades del Infierno y las irrebatibles respuestas del Cielo"Esta clasica obra maestra de satira ha entretenido e iluminado a lectores alrededor del mundo con su ironica y astuta representacion de la vida y las debilidades humanas desde el punto de vista de Escrutopo, el asistente de alto rango de "Nuestro Padre de Abajo." En este divertidisimo, muy serio y excepcionalmente original libro, C. S. Lewis comparte con nosotros la correspondencia entre el viejo diablo y su sobrino Orugario, un novato demonio encargado de asegurarse de la condenacion de un joven hombre.Cartas del Diablo a Su Sobrino es la historia mas atractiva acerca de la tentacion -- y el triunfo sobre ella -- jamas escrita.

The Screwtape Letters | C. S. Lewis

“It‘s funny how mortals always picture us putting things into their minds: in reality our best work is done by keeping things out.” This collection of letters, written by C.S. Lewis after sitting through a less than inspiring sermon, will stir your soul with conviction and self reflection while capturing your imagination. #52challenge #christianbooks

August recap in book reviews:

What a plot! This book is a series of letters written in the perspective of a demon to his nephew on how to manipulate the human mind. CS Lewis had a very big and creative imagination.

Rating: 5/5

i.besteph Here‘s a quote I liked: He (the human) had no faintest conception till that very hour of how they would look, and even doubted their existence. But when he saw them he knew that he had always known them and realised what part each one of them had played at many an hour in his life when he had supposed himself alone, so that now he could say to them, one by one, not "Who are you?" but "So it was you all the time" 2y

3.9⭐️ These collection of letters are a interesting way to explain how a human soul can be corrupted. The letters are written to a tempter from hell. The letters are from his uncle Screwtape, and executive of hell, as a way to help guide the corruption of a man‘s soul. It‘s a super interesting read, and I‘m glad I read it. However, I‘m glad it ended when it did. Even the author felt that he could not write anymore letters.

Crazeedi A classic , CS Lewis is timeless 4y

Oh man, I had a hard time staying awake while reading this one. I kept on going because I wanted to know if Wormwood succeeded or not. I also kept on telling myself, “it‘s not long at all, so it should be over soon.” Well, it took me 3 days to read 118 pages. 😔 🤦🏽‍♀️

It‘s interesting and made me think about some things, but it really wasn‘t for me.

Mistermandolin Great book. C. S Lewis had that rare gift of being able to write intelligently for ‘ordinary‘ people without a hint of condescension or oversimplification. The Screwtape Letters is one of his finest works - one I return to over and over again. 4y
Sace @Mistermandolin sounds like just my speed. 4y
Mistermandolin Have you read any of his other books? A lot of people - rightly - say how great the Narnia books were but if you enjoyed The Screwtape Letters you‘ll know there was way more to him than that. The Great Divorce is, well, great. A kind of otherworldly journey allegory. Beautifully done and timeless. (edited) 4y

Another audio compliments of Audible.

I enjoyed this pov. It made me focus on everyday situations that I normally just let pass by. It changed the way I thought I should think about the Spiritual realm and how temptation works.

C.S Lewis is a brilliant writer and his imagination always takes me by surprise. He just see things differently.

I'd love to own an actually copy of this book and read it as well.

Day 6 of 7: Books that made a lasting impression on me

I read this book many years ago at my dad‘s recommendation and discussed it with him. It made me much more thoughtful about the way I considered religion and my own faith. I wanted to include it in this list, but I felt it was due a reread. So today I listened to the audiobook and again often found it making me think seriously about points presented.

I reread this book with my ladies bible study. It has been delightful to study each letter together. In my personal opinion, satire is where CS Lewis really shines.

CogsOfEncouragement My all time favorite. 5y
Mistermandolin I completely agree. And yet by his own account he found it incredibly taxing to write: a sort of ‘grittiness‘ that arose from the persona he was adopting. 4y

1. I work days so the only time I usually get to read is late at night, so every book keeps me up way too late.
2. The Screwtape Letters. It was labeled as christian literature. I didn't think it would be my kind of book, but it turned out to be wonderful.
3. No dust jacket

I have always heard good things about this one, but I have to admit, I was surprised by how clever it was. Lewis has a way of describing all these terrible behaviors in a way that is supposed to sound "encouraging" (as one evil creature describes them to another). As I read it, however, I found myself thinking, Ugh, I totally do that and I should stop. It was so well done, and gave me so many things to think about. Glad I finally read it.

This book was a beautiful, harsh reminder of what "Not God" really looks like. This came along at a wonderful time for my spiritual growth, and I have SO MANY challenging ideas to think about after reading it. I love Lewis's style, too - his clever wit combined with the truth of the human condition is just as likely to make me wince at my own actions as it is to make me laugh at how silly we can be.
