A masterpiece of satire on hell's latest novelties and heaven's unanswerable answer.
The Screwtape Letters has entertained and enlightened readers the world over with its sly and ironic portrayal of human life and foibles from the vantage point of Screwtape, a highly placed assistant to "Our Father Below." At once wildly comedic, deadly serious, and strikingly original, CS Lewis gives us the correspondence of the worldly-wise devil to his nephew, Wormwood, a novice demon in charge of securing the damnation of an ordinary young man. The Screwtape Letters is the most engaging account of temptation-- and triumph over it -- ever written.
