Regreso Del Peregrino – (Spanish)
$14.99
Conocida como la primera novela de C. S. Lewis, esta elocuente, erudita y a menudo ingeniosa satira de la filosofia contemporanea sigue siendo relevante mas de 90 aos despues.
Siguiendo el modelo del famoso Progreso del peregrino de John Bunyan, El regreso del peregrino de C. S. Lewis representa una serie de primicias para Lewis: el primer libro que escribio tras su conversion al cristianismo, su primer libro de ficcion y el primer libro que publico con su propio nombre. En cierto sentido, es el registro de la propia busqueda de Lewis de sentido y satisfaccion espiritual, una busqueda que finalmente le condujo al cristianismo.
Esta es la historia del peregrino Juan y su odisea hacia una isla encantadora que ha creado en el un intenso anhelo; un misterioso y dulce deseo. La persecucion de este deseo por parte de Juan le lleva a traves de aventuras con personas como el Sr. Ilustracion, Media Media, el Sr. Mamon, el Sr. Sensato y el Sr. Humanista, y a traves de lugares como el Valle de la Humillacion.
Aunque aqui los dragones y los gigantes son distintos de los de El progreso del peregrino de Bunyan, la alegoria de Lewis cumple la misma funcion de permitir al autor decir de forma sencilla y mediante la fantasia lo que de otro modo habria exigido una filosofia de la religion en toda regla.
La alegoria de Lewis sigue siendo una ingeniosa satira de las modas culturales, un vivido relato de los peligros espirituales y una historia iluminadora para generaciones de antiguos y nuevos peregrinos.
The Pilgrim’s Regress
Known as C. S. Lewis’s first novel, this eloquent, erudite, and often wittysatire of contemporary philosophy is still relevant over 90 years later.
Modeled after John Bunyan’s famous Pilgrim’s Progress, C. S. Lewis’s Pilgrim’s Regress represents several firsts for Lewis–the first book he wrote after his conversion to Christianity, his first book of fiction, and the first book he published under his own name. It is, in a sense, the record of Lewis’s own search for meaning and spiritual satisfaction–a search that eventually led him to Christianity.
Here is the story of the pilgrim John and his odyssey to an enchanting island which has created in him an intense longing; a mysterious, sweet desire. John’s pursuit of this desire takes him through adventures with such people as Mr. Enlightenment, Media Halfways, Mr. Mammon, Mother Kirk, Mr. Sensible, and Mr. Humanist and through such cities as Thrill and Eschropolis as well as the V

Alegoria Del Amor – (Spanish)
$21.99Esta obra, publicada originalmente en 1936, constituye uno de los trabajos academicos mas influyentes de C. S. Lewis en el campo de la literatura medieval. En ella se desarrolla un profundo estudio sobre la poesia amorosa alegorica de la Edad Media, cuyo origen se situa en los poemas de amor cortes de los trovadores del Languedoc desde el siglo XI, a traves de su transformacion y fin a finales del siglo XVI.
Esta poesia de los trovadores, que constituiria el primer modo de expresion del amor romantico, supuso tal cambio respecto de la literatura precedente que, como el propio Lewis seala, no dejo intocado rincon alguno en nuestra etica, nuestra imaginacion y nuestra vida diaria, erigiendo barreras infranqueables entre nosotros y el pasado clasico o el presente oriental. Comparado con esta revolucion, el Renacimiento es un simple remolino en la superficie de la literatura.
Resulta particularmente relevante dentro del presente ensayo el estudio que Lewis realiza de El libro de la rosa, obra cumbre del genero dentro de la literatura tardo medieval.
The Allegory of Love
This work, originally published in 1936, constitutes one of the most influential academic works of C.S. Lewis in the field of medieval literature. It develops an in-depth study of the allegorical love poetry of the Middle Ages, whose origins lie in the courtly love poems of the Languedoc troubadours in eleventh century, through its transformation and gradual demise at the end of the sixteenth century.
This poetry of the troubadours, which would constitute the first mode of expression of romantic love, supposed such a change with respect to the preceding literature that, as Lewis himself points out, it left no corner untouched in our ethics, our imagination and our lives. daily, erecting insurmountable barriers between us and the classical past or the Eastern present. Compared with this revolution, the Renaissance is a mere whirlpool on the surface of literature.
Lewis’s study of The Book of the Rose, the masterpiece of the genre within late medieval literature, is particularly relevant in this essay.

Lo Eterno Sin Disimulo – (Spanish)
$13.99Lo eterno sin disimulo, es una recopilacion de nueve ensayos y varias cartas anteriormente publicados en los que Lewis hace un despliegue de su capacidad para razonar con rigor y escribir con lucidez sobre el cristianismo.
Hablar de lo eterno, sin caretas, sin disimulos, sin trampas, esa es la tarea a la que se entrega Lewis en este libro sustancioso. Y para ello utiliza muy distintos medios: una conferencia docta, un coloquio, un debate, una conversacion entre amigos, un articulo de prensa, una carta…
Toda ocasion es buena para dar testimonio de la fe y la verdad intemporal, para mostrar a todos una noticia inaudita de plenitudes, con un afan apostolico que nos interpela. Y Lewis lo aborda con su proverbial claridad, lucidez y agudeza.
Timeless at Heart
Timeless at Heart, is a compilation of nine essays and several letters previously published in which Lewis displays his ability to reason rigorously and write lucidly about Christianity.
Talking about the eternal, without masks, without dissimulation, without traps, that is the task to which Lewis gives himself in this substantial book. And for this he uses very different means: a learned conference, a colloquium, a debate, a conversation between friends, a press article, a letter…
Every occasion is a good one to bear witness to the faith and the timeless truth, to show everyone unprecedented news of fullness, with an apostolic eagerness that challenges us. And Lewis approaches it with his proverbial clarity, lucidity, and sharpness.

Abolition Of Man
$17.99In this graceful work, C. S. Lewis reflects on society and nature and the challenges of how best to educate our children. He eloquently argues that we need as a society to underpin reading and writing with lessons on morality and in the process both educate and re-educate ourselves. In the words of Walter Hooper, “If someone were to come to me and say that, with the exception of the Bible, everyone on earth was going to be required to read one and the same book, and then ask what it should be, I would with no hesitation say The Abolition of Man. It is the most perfectly reasoned defense of Natural Law (Morality) I have ever seen, or believe to exist. If any book is able to save us from future excesses of folly and evil, it is this book.” This beautiful paperback edition is sure to attract new readers to this classic book.
