Description

A collection of philosophical and literary essays by C.S. Lewis, plus all his short stories, brought together in a substantial paperback volume. As well as his many books, letters and poems, C.S. Lewis also wrote a great number of essays and shorter pieces on various subjects. He wrote extensively on Christian theology and the defence of faith, but also on various ethical issues and on the nature of literature and story-telling. This first volume (of two) collects together all Lewis's essays on general subjects. Grouped together by topic, there are over 60 pieces of writing, covering English and literature, education and history, and philosophical thoughts. The book also includes all his fictional short stories.
