Letters from the devil to his nephew

The originality of its approach, the successful literary style and the sharpness of its author make this title one of Lewis's most appreciated and brilliant. The book is composed of a set of short letters that an elderly demon writes to a young demon - his nephew - to teach him the art of tempting humans. Through this correspondence, important questions are raised that affect the lives of everyone. Lewis describes with great accuracy the currents of thought, customs and habits of life most widespread in the world today, and alternates this description with an accurate critique. His novel reasoning is presented in a witty and entertaining style, very attractive to the average reader. CS Lewis was born in Ireland in 1898, was educated at Malvern College for a year, and then privately. He was Tutor at Magdalen College and Professor of Literature at Cambridge. An atheist in his youth, he described his conversion to Christianity as an experience that transformed his life and his work. Gifted with exceptional intelligence and a sharp and lucid wit, he exerted a great influence on both his students and his readers. He cultivated with equal mastery the essay, the novel and children's literature. While We Have No Face, The Devil Proposes a Toast, The Four Loves, The Problem of Pain, Mere Christianity, The Eternal Undisguised, The Great Divorce, If God Did Not Listen, are some of his most famous works.
