The Devil Proposes a Toast (and Other Essays)

With his usual lucidity and quality of thought, the author offers us a set of lively and close essays, in which wit and the most solid argumentation on the human condition are combined. This work addresses very diverse topics, mostly related to different aspects of Christian life. As always, Lewis starts from the most practical examples, taken "at ground level", from everyday life, and uses them to explain doctrinal truths clearly and in an entertaining way. CS Lewis has been one of the most notable writers of our century. Born in Ireland in 1898, he was educated at Malvern College and then privately. He was Tutor at Magdalen College and Professor of Medieval and Renaissance Literature at Cambridge; he was highly appreciated as a teacher. 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 an accurate and lucid wit, he exerted a profound influence both on his students and on his many faithful readers. He cultivated with equal mastery the essay, the novel, and children's literature. Letters from the Devil to his Nephew ? While We Have No Face ? The Four Loves ? The Problem of Pain ? Mere Christianity ? God in the Dock ? The Great Divorce and The Eternal Without Dissimulation are some of his most famous works, published by Rialp.
