Fantastische Welt Narnias: Die Entstehung. Begeben Sie sich mit den Freunden Digory und Polly nach Narnia! Durch geheimnisvolle Ringe gelangen die Kinder in das Königreich des Löwen Aslan, das von der Hexe Jadis bedroht wird. Hier warten neben ungewöhnlichen Gestalten vor allem schwierige und gefährliche Aufgaben auf sie.

Keiner will Lucy glauben, dass sie durch den Wandschrank im Haus des Professors in einen tief verschneiten Wald gelangt ist, wo sie ein ziegenbeiniger Faun zum Tee eingeladen hat. Abers als sich Peter, Suse und Edmund vor der Haushälterin zwischen den Pelzen und Mänteln des Schrankes verstecken, betreten auch sie das rätselhafte Land Narnia.

Schon immer fühlte sich der Junge Shasta von jenen Ländern im Norden magisch angezogen. Als er eines Tages erfährt, dass sein Vater gar nicht sein wahrer Vater ist und ihn als Sklaven an einen reichen und mächtigen Tarkaan verkaufen will, fasst er einen Entschluss: Gemeinsam mit dem Pferd Bree flieht er in jenes glückliche Land im Norden, das Narnia heißt.

Hochverrat! Der Thronfolger soll beseitigt werden! Miraz, der diktatorisch über Narnia herrscht und das Land allein den Menschen unterordnen will, beansprucht die Krone für sich. Sein Neffe Kaspian, der wahre Erbe, befürchtet den Untergang Narnias. Er ahnt, dass er ohne Hilfe die entscheidende Schlacht nicht gewinnen kann... Doch statt der erhofften Verstärkung durch die legendären Königinnen und Könige von Narnia tauchen vier Kinder auf, die gerade auf dem Weg zur Schule waren...

Alles bricht auseinander: Was gut und schön war in Narnia, scheint wertlos. Auf nichts ist mehr Verlass, die Bewohner des Landes werden versklavt und nach Kalormen verkauft. Es heißt, Aslan sei aufgetaucht und habe alles gutgeheißen. Doch wie kann das sein? Die Freunde Narnias kommen von jenseits des Wandschranks, um zu helfen. Der letzte Kampf umd das Schicksal Narnias beginnt.

Der Löwe Aslan -- Herrscher von Narnia -- hat einen besonderen Auftrag für Eustachius und Jill. Die beiden sollen den verschollenen Thronfolger Prinz Rilian suchen. Geschöpfe, von deren Existenz sie bisher nicht einmal etwas ahnten, helfen ihnen dabei -- oder bringen sie in größte Gefahr. Mit einem tapferen Moorwackler gelangen sie in die Unterwelt Narnias, wo ihnen ein Kampf auf Leben und Tod bevorsteht...

Viele Wege führen nach Narnia: Edmund, Lucy und ihr "eigenwilliger" Cousin Eustachius Knilch geraten auf eine ziemlich nasse Art und Weise in Aslans Land. An Bord der "Morgenröte" begeben sie sich mit König Kaspian auf die abenteuerliche Suche nach den verschwundenen sieben Lords. Während dieser Reise geschehen Dinge, von denen keiner zu träumen gewagt hätte...

Schnell kann man in des Teufels Falle geraten, ob man an ihn glaubt oder nicht. Jeder hat es schon erlebt - vielleicht nur nicht gemerkt...

>The Screwtape Letters, now in its 70th anniversary year, is an iconic classic on spiritual warfare and the power of the devil. This profound and striking narrative takes the form of a series of letters from Screwtape, a devil high in the Infernal Civil Service, to his nephew Wormwood, a junior colleague engaged in his first mission on Earth trying to secure the damnation of a young man who has just become a Christian. Although the young man initially looks to be a willing victim, he changes his ways and is ‘lost’ to the young devil.

But soon Edmund, then Peter and Susan step through the wardrobe themselves. In Narnia they find a country buried under the evil enchantment of the White Witch.

The first book written by C.S. Lewis after his conversion, The Pilgrim's Regress is, in a sense, a record of Lewis's own search for meaning and spiritual satisfaction that eventually led him to Christianity.

C.S. Lewis' famous work on the nature of love divides love into four categories: affection, friendship, eros and charity. The first three are loves which come naturally to the human race. Charity, however, the gift-love of God, is divine in its source and expression, and without the sweetening grace of this supernatural love, the natural loves become distorted and even dangerous.

2012 marks the 60th anniversary of the publication of C. S. Lewis’s classic, Mere Christianity. Having sold over half a million copies in the UK alone, his overview of Christianity has been imitated many times, but never outdone. Mere Christianity brings together Lewis’s legendary broadcasts from the war years; talks in which he set out simply to ‘"explain and defend the belief that has been common to nearly all Christians at all times."

This is an extensive collection of short essays and other pieces by C. S. Lewis that have been brought together in one volume for the first time. As well as his many books, letters, and poems, Lewis also wrote a great number of essays and shorter pieces on various subjects. He wrote extensively on Christian theology and the defense of faith but also on various ethical issues and on the nature of literature and storytelling. In this essay collection we find a treasure trove of Lewis' reflections on diverse topics.

Have we been taught to discount the veracity and deeper meaning of our emotional resonance with the world around us? In The Abolition of Man, C.S. Lewis looks at the curriculum of the English "prep school" and begins to wonder if this subliminal teaching has indeed produced a generation who discount such a nature.

For centuries people have been tormented by one question above all: if God is good and all-powerful, why does he allow his creatures to suffer pain? And what of the suffering of animals, who neither deserve pain nor can be improved by it? The greatest Christian thinker of our time sets out to disentangle this knotty issue. With his signature wealth of compassion and insight, C. S. Lewis offers answers to these crucial questions and shares his hope and wisdom to help heal a world hungry for a true understanding of human nature.

Both astonishing and prophetic, The Abolition of Man remains one of C. S. Lewis's most controversial works. Lewis sets out to persuade his audience of the ongoing importance and relevance of universal objective values, such as courage and honor, and the foundational necessity of natural law. He also makes a cogent case that a retreat from these pillars of our educational system, even if in the name of "scientism", would be catastrophic. National Review lists it as number seven on their "100 Best Nonfiction Books of the 20th Century".

For many years an atheist, C. S. Lewis vividly describes the spiritual quest that convinced him of the truth and reality of Christianity, in his famous autobiography. "In the Trinity Term of 1929 I gave in, and admitted that God was God...perhaps the most dejected and reluctant convert in all England." Thus Lewis describes memorably the crisis of his conversion. Surprised by Joy reveals both that crisis and its momentous conclusion that would determine the shape of Lewis' entire life.

"The central miracle asserted by Christians is the Incarnation. They say that God became Man. Every other miracle prepares the way for this, or results from this." This is the key statement of Miracles, in which C. S. Lewis shows that a Christian must not only accept but rejoice in miracles as a testimony of the unique personal involvement of God in his creation.

Written after his wife's tragic death as a way of surviving the "mad midnight moments", A Grief Observed is C.S. Lewis's honest reflection on the fundamental issues of life, death, and faith in the midst of loss. This work contains his concise, genuine reflections on that period.
