The Screwtape Letters

by C.S. Lewis
The Screwtape Letters
The Screwtape Letters

Satirical, insightful correspondence on morality and faith.

If you appreciate a blend of humor and deep thought on the human condition, "The Screwtape Letters" might just become a favorite on your shelf. Lewis's sharp wit provides a satirical take on temptation and virtue, wrapped in a devilishly clever premise that makes the reader ponder life's big questions. It's the kind of book that continues to provoke discussion long after you've turned the last page.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

Since The Screwtape Letters was first published in 1943, half a million copies have been sold in the United States alone. This edition includes a substantial new preface from the author who tells the reader something of the writing of the book and answers the question often raised as to whether he "really believes in devils." The answer involves discussion of devils and angels in literature, art, and life. "My symbol for hell is something like the bureaucracy of a police state or a thoroughly nasty business office." The edition also includes a new Screwtape piece, "Screwtape Proposes a Toast," and should find a new generation of readers for the wittiest piece of writing the 20th century has yet produced to stimulate the ordinary man to godliness.
