Clive Staples Lewis Książki

Nieznany świat czeka za drzwiami - trzeba je tylko otworzyć. Narnia - skuta wiecznym mrozem kraina, która czeka na wyzwolenie. Czworo śmiałków wchodzi przez drzwi szafy do Narnii, świata zniewolonego mocą Białej Czarownicy. I gdy prawie nie ma już nadziei, powrót Wielkiego Lwa Aslana staje się zwiastunem zmian - ale nie za darmo...

Jedna z najważniejszych i najlepszych książek C.S. Lewisa, twórcy Kronik Narnii. Autor wprowadza nas w niezwykły świat średniowiecznej kosmologii, hierarchii niebios i bytów je zamieszkujących, aby przejść do błyskotliwego wykładu średniowiecznych poglądów na umysł, duszę, ciało i historię. Odrzucony obraz to podstawowa lektura dla wszystkich, którzy chcieliby zrozumieć nie tylko średniowieczną literaturę, ale też mentalność ówczesnych ludzi odzwierciedlającą się w metafizyce, astronomii czy geografii. Skarbnica wiedzy o kulturze średniowiecza i renesansu.

W starożytnej krainie Glome, gdzie czci się krwawą boginię Ungit, dorastają dwie królewskie córki: piękna i tak brzydka, że zakrywa twarz welonem. Gdy na królestwo spadają plagi i nieszczęścia, świątynia Ungit żąda wyboru krwawej ludzkiej ofiary, która ma odwrócić gniew bogini. Ofiara zostanie złożona tajemniczej Bestii, mieszkającej w cieniu Szarej Góry. Oczy kapłanów Ungit zwracają się na mieszkańców Pałacu.

Tym razem wszystkie siedem historii kryje się w dwóch eleganckich woluminach wydanych w twardej oprawie i zapakowanych w śliczne pudełko. Wydanie to zachwyca estetyką oraz opracowaniem graficznym. Z pewnością zachęci dzieci do zajrzenia do tajemniczego świata, kryjącego się za drzwiami starej szafy w domu pewnego profesora. W zbiorze Opowieści z Narnii – wydanie dwutomowe czytelnicy znajdą następujące tytuły: Księga pierwsza: „Lew, Czarownica i stara szafa”, „Książę Kaspian” oraz „Podróż Wędrowca do Świtu”, Księga druga : „Srebrne krzesło”, „Koń i jego chłopiec”, „Siostrzeniec Czarodzieja”, „Ostatnia bitwa”.

Edmund i Łucja w towarzystwie swego arcyniesympatycznego kuzyna Eustachego trafiają na żaglowiec króla Kaspiana. Obfitująca w najniezwyklejsze przygody morska wyprawa - dzięki mądremu Lwu Aslanowi - staje się podróżą ku własnej tożsamości i dojrzałości.

W końcowym, siódmym tomie cyklu jesteśmy świadkami śmiertelnego boju o Narnię, do jakiego staje ostatni król, Tirian, wraz z garstką przyjaciół. Czy uda im się zwyciężyć i ocalić cudowną krainę przed zniszczeniem?

Książę Kaspian marzy o powrocie dawnych czasów świetności Narnii. Niestety w królestwie trwa wojna domowa, a ciotce i wujowi księcia nie podobają się jego marzenia. Chcą go zabić, by objąć tron. Ratuje go jego nauczyciel; doktor Korneliusz. Teraz pomóc mu muszą legendarni królowie Narnii - Piotr, Edmund, Zuzanna i Łucja.

Perelandra” to druga część trylogii międzyplanetarnej. Trylogii, którą możemy potraktować jako swoisty przypis C.S. Lewisa do chrześcijańskiej koncepcji dziejów. Konwencja science fiction służy tu jedynie jako pretekst do przemieszczenia bohatera w przestrzeni kosmicznej i w zasadzie od pierwszych stronic zepchnięta jest na margines. Bo ta powieść to tak naprawdę traktat filozoficzno–teologiczny. Traktat o Bogu działającym z równą mocą w mikrokosmosie ludzkiej duszy, co makrokosmosie wszechświata. O Bogu, Którego wszystko jest pełne, Który swoją obecnością znaczy czas i przestrzeń, bez Którego nic się nie stało, co się stało. Trzeba przyznać, że jest to traktat logiczny i spójny, napisany językiem żywym i nieprzegadany. Traktat, w którym racjonalnie, punkt po punkcie C.S. Lewis udowadnia celowość wszelkiego stworzenia. To, co tak zachwyca wiernych czytelników autora narnijskich opowieści – analityczne, rzeczowe, pragmatyczne podejście do podstawowych prawd wiary chrześcijańskiej – znajduje w „Perelandrze” swój pełny wyraz.

Pola i Digory, wciągnięci w eksperymenty parającego się czarami wuja Andrzeja, trafiają do Innego Świata, gdzie stają się świadkami stworzenia Narnii wraz z jej mówiącymi zwierzętami i innymi niezwykłościami. Digory zwycięsko wychodzi z próby dostarczenia Aslanowi owocu Zaczarowanej Jabłoni, dzięki czemu koniec tej historii do początek wszystkim innym, które rozegrały się w Narnii.

Trylogia kosmiczna to niezwykłe dzieło C.S. Lewisa, które przedstawia unikalną wizję wszechświata, różniącą się od tradycyjnych obrazów w science fiction. Autor stawia pytania o sens istnienia ludzkości, która, niszcząc środowisko na Ziemi, może być skazana na kosmiczną samotność. Wspólnym bohaterem wszystkich trzech części jest dr Elwin Ransom, angielski lingwista, wybrany przez Maleldila jako narzędzie w walce dobra ze złem. W pierwszej części, Z milczącej planety, Ransom zostaje porwany na Malakandrę (Mars), gdzie uczestniczy w konflikcie między mieszkańcami a złymi wysłannikami z Ziemi, pragnącymi wykorzystać zasoby planety. W drugiej części, Perelandra, podróżuje na Wenus, gdzie jest świadkiem kuszenia pierwszej pary jej mieszkańców. W trzeciej części, Ta straszna siła, Ransom staje do walki na Ziemi przeciwko grupie naukowców opętanych przez Szatana, którzy pragną wprowadzić brutalny totalitaryzm. W tej bitwie wspierają go duchy innych planet oraz przebudzony Merlin. Trylogia kosmiczna zachwyca pasją, wiarą, sugestywnymi opisami, psychologiczną wiarygodnością postaci i charakterystycznym dla autora humorem. To pierwszy polski przekład pełnego tekstu oryginału.

"Ta ohydna siła" sprowadza akcję trylogii z powrotem na Ziemię, do Anglii. Tutaj, na terenie niewielkiego uniwersytetu (gdzie ponoć spoczywa uśpiony Merlin, mag z czasów króla Artura), toczy sie walka o losy świata

Eustachy i Julia obdarzeni przez Aslana misją odnalezienia zaginionego królewicza Narnii, wędrując w towarzystwie dzielnego Błotosmętka rzez budzące zdumienie i grozę krainy, odkrywają, że przeciwstawienie się złu daje zadziwiającą siłę do walki z nim.

W tomie piątym, zatytułowanym „Koń i jego chłopiec”, śledzimy pasjonującą ucieczkę z Kalormenu do Narnii dzielnego Szasty, pięknej księżniczki Arawis oraz mówiących koni: Briego i Hwin. Kim naprawdę jest Szasta i jaki to lew krąży wciąż wokół uciekinierów, odkrywamy dopiero na ostatnich stronicach książki.

Diese wunderschön illustrierte Auswahl zieht einige seiner Reflexionen über Trauer zusammen und zeigt die Eigenschaften der Intelligenz, Ehrlichkeit und Demilität, die ihn zu einem respektierten Lehrer gemacht hat.

A masterpiece of satire, this classic has entertained and enlightened readers the world over with its sly and ironic portrayal of human life from the vantage point of Screwtape, a senior tempter in the service of "Our Father Below."

Lewis gives us the correspondence of the worldly-wise old devil to his nephew Wormwood, a novice demon in charge of securing the damnation of an ordinary young man.

The nationality question was supposedly closed within the USSR over forty years ago. It has, however, been dramatically reopened by fresh generations of educated leaders emerging among all the major Soviet nationalities. They have made obsolete the old Russian-Communist policy of extending token recognition to nationality groups officially differentiated mainly by reference to variations in language, folklore, or costume. Economic advance and disproportionate population increases among many nationalities have added impetus to this awakening. With self-determination the watchword in most other developing countries, it is evident that the Kremlin leadership now faces an array of modern problems in its old-fashioned empire. Simultaneously, social and technological changes are forcing the Soviet nationalities to reconsider courses of action crucial to their future. The present volume demonstrates the extraordinary range of nationality problems besetting the USSR. The issues are considered broadly and their possible resolutions are examined from both a contemporary and historical perspective. The authors scrutinize significant problems through the methodologies supplied by key academic disciplines. Research sources for nationality study are discussed in a bibliographical section; maps and tables summarize census and other current data about the nationality question.

A collection of readings taken from the religious writings of C.S. Lewis, author of "Mere Christianity", "The Screwtape Letters", "The Problem of Pain" and "Surprised by Joy". He also wrote the children's series, "The Chronicles of Narnia".

C. S. Lewis explores the fascination with language by taking a series of words and teasing out their connotations.

"Professor Lewis believed that literature exists above all for the joy of the reader and that books should be judged by the kind of reading they invite. He doubted the use of strictly evaluative criticism, especially its condemnations. Literary criticism is traditionally employed in judging books, and 'bad taste' is thought of as a taste for bad books. Professor Lewis' experiment consists in reversing the process, and judging literature itself by the way men read it. He defined a good book as one which can be read in a certain way, a bad book as one which can only be read in another. He was therefore mainly preoccupied with the notion of good reading: and he showed that this, in its surrender to the work on which it is engaged, has something in common with love, with moral action, and with intellectual achievement. In good reading we should be concerned less in altering our own opinions than in entering fully into the opinions of others; "in reading great literature I become a thousand men and yet remain myself". As with all that Professor Lewis wrote, the arguments are stimulating and the examples apt"--Publisher description.

The workplace has become a hotbed of social toxicity - from the #MeToo movement to WeWork, it's clear that abusive bosses and entrenched cultures of discrimination have become more prevalent than ever. Such behaviour is not only simply wrong and damaging to its victims - it also results in reduced productivity, higher employee turnover, and can often leave a stain upon the wider reputation of an organization.In Toxic, Clive Lewis draws upon his decades of experience in HR and mediation to distill the problems and underlying causes of toxic workplaces before tackling the issue head-on.
