More About the Author

Clive Staples Lewis (1898-1963), known as Jack to his friends, was one of the intellectual giants of the twentieth century and arguably the most influential Christian writer of his day. He was a Fellow and Tutor in English literature at Oxford University until 1954, when he was unanimously elected to the Chair of Medieval and Renaissance English at Cambridge University, a position he held until his retirement. His major contributions in literary criticism, children's literature, fantasy literature, and popular theology brought him international renown and acclaim. Lewis and his good friend J. R. R. Tolkien, the author of the The Lord of the Rings, were part of the Inklings, an informal writers' club that met at a local pub to discuss story ideas. Lewis's fascination with fairy tales, myths, and ancient legends, coupled with inspiration drawn from his childhood, led him to write The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, one of the best-loved books of all time. Six further books followed to become the immensely popular The Chronicles of Narnia. The final title in the series, The Last Battle, won the Carnegie Medal, one of the highest marks of excellence in children's literature. His other distinguished and popular accomplishments include Out of the Silent Planet, The Four Loves, The Screwtape Letters, and Mere Christianity.

5.0 out of 5 stars La historia de la redención, September 18, 1997

By A Customer

This review is from: El león, la bruja, y el armario (Paperback)

C.S. Lewis nos presenta la historia de Jesucristo en una bella y creativa forma metafórica ideal para el lector infantil, aunque no menos interesante para el lector adulto.

La primera vez que leí este libro tenía yo 8 años de edad, y aunque nunca asocié los personajes ficticios creados por Lewis con la teología cristiana que estos implican, fue para mí de suma admiración la actuación de Aslan, el león que representa a Jesucristo.

Desde que comienza hasta que termina el libro está inundado de magia y fantasía que extasia y apasiona. La bruja es vívidamente representada en su maldad, y Aslan en su ternura y nobleza. "El hijo del emperador de Ultramar", como es llamado por los agobiados habitantes de Narnia. Narnia es el país al que han accedido los cuatro protagonistas humanos, "hijos de Adán y Eva", a través de un guardarropas o armario en un cuarto vacío. Este es, sin duda, y probablemente siempre lo sea, uno de mis libros favoritos..

This review is from: El leon, la bruja y el ropero (Paperback)

I actually really wanted this set because the covers were so much better than the english versions, and I was unhappy that the cover was different and has a huge circle on it saying "now a major motion film!" The quality of the translation is great though, and even the pictures are the same as the set I have. I would recommend this book as a spanish translation!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Las mejores de las histórias para niños, May 30, 2001

This review is from: El león, la bruja, y el armario (Paperback)

Descubrí estas histórias de C.S. Lewis cuando tenía 19 años de edad y jamás he encontrado un cuento más lindo y bien escrito que del "León, la bruja y el armario". No sé si todos los otros números de esta serie han sido traducidos a Español pero ojalá que sí, ya que podría compartir estos cuentos tan bellos con mis sobrinos hispanoparlantes.

Este cuento empieza cuando la pequeña Lucy decide esconderse de sus hermanos en un armario durante un juego a escondidas. Sin querer descubre el mundo de Narnia y sus aventuras empiezan. Conoce a muchos animales y bestias raras pero cuando regresa a contar a sus hermanos lo que había visto, ellos no la creen. Solo llendo todos juntos a Narnia logran creer a su pequeña hermana y allí empiezan sus experiencias incluyendo la gran lucha entre el bien y el mal.

El parecido entre Jesucristo y el león Aslan son obvios pero la história no es escrita de forma muy religiosa, ya que el fín es entretener a los niños (y a muchos adultos) sin uso de doctrina. La lucha entre el bien y el mal, y el amor profundo de Aslan hacia los habitantes de Narnia y los pequeños es el basis de este cuento.

Una história perfecta para toda edad.
