Beskrivning

From the author of Mere Christianity, the greatest Christian thinker of our time explores what it means to love. What does it mean to love? Affection is the most familiar bond born of fondness and familiarity; friendship, our rarest and perhaps most insightful connection; eros, the embodiment of passion and desire. The most powerful of all is charity, the love of God, without which the others are easily corrupted – becoming bitter, selfish and even dangerous.C. S. Lewis names and explores these human sentiments in The Four Loves, one of his most famous works of non-fiction. With his characteristic warmth and lucidity, Lewis clarifies how the four loves work in our daily lives and how they can allow us to be closer to God.

Mer om författaren

Born in Ireland in 1898, Clive Staples Lewis gained a triple First at Oxford and was Fellow and Tutor at Magdalen College from 1925-54, where he was a contemporary of Tolkien. In 1954 he became Professor of Mediaeval and Renaissance Literature at Cambridge. C. S. Lewis was for many years an atheist, until his conversion, memorably described in his autobiography ‘Surprised by Joy’: “I gave in, and admitted that God was God … perhaps the most dejected and reluctant convert in all England.” He is celebrated for his famous series of children’s books, the Narnia Chronicles (which have been filmed and broadcast many times), as well as his literary criticism and science fiction. C. S. Lewis died on 22nd November 1963.
