The Screwtape Letters

Beautiful book...Must read 📚

This is truly an exceptional book. C.S Lewis did a masterful job with this one. It's equally riveting and convicting.

One of the best books on spiritual warfare.

This is an excellent book especially for those who struggle with the vive of anger and wrath. The book that I received did not have page 1-8 , looks like a error from the publications.

The print is clear and the book is genuine. Item was on prime so it arrived pretty early. My best friend has read this book and she loved it. We are reading it together now. Strongly recommend.

A book which is really out of this world. It give another perspective and view from another dimension about the world and life.

Very clear understanding of how satan tries to tempt and wean the faithful away from God.

Very bad copy, full of spelling mistakes. Chapter 15 is printed twice. Chapter 16 is missing. The book itself is genius but this particular print copy is very bad. Buy from a better publisher.

muito bom

Um livro indispensável

Just love it. C.S. Lewis is great

Truthfully, this book is funny in that it's horrifyingly sound in its thought. I was increasingly mesmerised, horrified, captivated, thankful, and intrigued in how the letters from Screwtape to his nephew Wormwood applied to so much of real life. But from a different perspective. It really made me get up and make some changes and for that, I thank God and his servant C.S. Lewis. The way an entire world which I could easily envision was woven from letters from a character that wasn't even in the world himself is devastatingly genius and proof of excellent penmanship and creativity. The characters were rich and detailed even though we only ever got Screwtape's perspective. Wow. Just wow. Everyone should read this. Christian or not. It is certainly now a waste of time. It's pure timeless wisdom. And a good laugh as well. The gut wrenching "oh no, I've been a fool haven't I?" Kind of contemplative chuckle. Except instead of fear, dispair, or shame. It empowers change. Because you're aware that there's always time to change for as long as you're still breathing. Even if it's just in your mindset.

この作品はナルニアなどの童話で知られる作者が書簡体で書いた作品。叔父の大悪魔が甥の新米悪魔に悪魔術の指南をするもの。ルイスは紆余曲折の末、クリスチャンになったので、キリスト教についてかなりの知識を必要とするが、「敵」はもちろんキリストの神である。時代的背景もよくわかる。最後の悪魔の演説の章では特に、デモクラシーのまやかしを暴いていることが面白い。I am as good as you. 人間はこのように平等には造られていないのである。全体の悪魔指南、もちろんその反対のことを行えば善に至るのである。ともかくぐいぐいと興味引かれる書物である。翻訳も出版されているので参照されたい。
