Аннотация
Clive Staples Lewis was born on November 29th 1898 in Belfast, Ireland. He was a man of many parts; novelist, poet, academic, medievalist, literary critic, essayist, lay theologian, and Christian apologist. After a short time serving with the British in World War I most of his life was spent in academia at Oxford from 1925-1954 and thence Cambridge from 1954-1963. His greatest work of fiction is, of course, The Chronicles Of Narnia, a wonderful imagination of the mind which has thrilled generation both young and old down the years. As a Christian apologist Mere Christianity ranks as one of the greatest works on Christianity and faith. Sadly he died on November 22nd 1963 the same day as President John F Kennedy and Aldous Huxley. Here we publish Spirits In Bondage, a collection of sequential poetry published shortly after his return from war. It is a glimpse of a different CS Lewis to what we have become comfortable with and the more rewarding for that.
