Cartas En Latin De C S Lewis A – (Spanish)
$13.99Add to cartAficionados de C.S Lewis disfrutaran de este gran trabajo historico con comentarios sobre cartas entre grandes eclesiasticos en temas de divinidad, guerras, la iglesia y oraciones.
En septiembre de 1947, tras leer Cartas del diablo a su sobrino, el padre Giovanni Calabria se sintio impulsado a escribirle al autor, pero no sabia ingles, de modo que lo hizo en latin. Asi comenzo una correspondencia que sobreviviria al propio padre Calabria (murio en diciembre de 1954 y le sucedio en la correspondencia el padre Luigi Pedrollo).
El traductor y editor Martin Moynihan califica estas cartas de “limpidas, fluidas y profundamente refrescantes. Tambien poseen un gran encanto, sobre todo por la forma en que se inician y concluyen, es decir, por los variopintos formalismos que se emplean para presentarlas o para despedirse”.
Las Cartas en latin de C. S. Lewis a Don Giovanni Calabriamuestran, mas que otras de sus publicaciones, la fuerte faceta devocional de Lewis y contienen temas que van desde la unidad de los cristianos y la historia moderna de Europa hasta la liturgia y el comportamiento etico general. Ademas, adquieren a menudo un caracter intimo y personal.
Fans of C.S. Lewis will enjoy this great historical work with commentaries on letters between great ecclesiastics on the subjects of divinity, war, the church and prayer.
In September 1947, after reading C.S. Lewis’s The Screwtape Letters in Italian, Fr. (now St.) Giovanni Calabria was moved to write the author, but he knew no English and assumed (rightly) that Lewis knew no Italian. So, he wrote his letter in Latin, hoping that, as a classicist, Lewis would know Latin. Therein began a correspondence that was to outlive Fr. Calabria himself (he died in December 1954, and was succeeded in correspondence by Fr. Luigi Pedrollo, which continued until Lewis’s own death in 1963).
Translator/editor Martin Moynihan calls these letters “limpid, fluent and deeply refreshing. There was a charm about them, too, and not least in the way they were ‘topped and tailed’ — that is, in their ever-slightly-varied formalities of address and of farewell.”
More than any other of his published works The Latin Letters shows the strong devotional side of Lewis and contains letters ranging from Christian unity and modern European history to liturgical worship and general ethical behavior.

Dios En El Banquillo – (Spanish)
$18.99Add to cartUn libro valiente, sutil y agudo sobre los milagros, la relacion entre la ciencia y la fe, la redencion o el destino final del hombre.
“Lewis me parecio el hombre mas completamente convertido que he conocido”, observa Walter Hooper en el prefacio de esta coleccion de ensayos de C. S. Lewis.
“Toda su vision de la vida era tal que lo natural y lo sobrenatural parecian inseparablemente combinados”. Es precisamente este cristianismo omnipresente el que se demuestra en los cuarenta y ocho ensayos que componen Dios en el banquillo. Aqui Lewis se dirige tanto a cuestiones teologicas como a las que Hooper denomina “semiteologicas” o eticas. Pero ya sea que este discutiendo El mal y Dios, Milagros, La decadencia de la religion o La teoria humanitaria del castigo, su vision y observaciones son total y profundamente cristianas.
Extraidos de una variedad de fuentes, los ensayos fueron diseados para satisfacer una variedad de necesidades y, entre otros logros, sirven para ilustrar los muchos angulos diferentes desde los cuales podemos ver la religion cristiana. Van desde piezas relativamente populares escritas para periodicos hasta defensas mas eruditas de la fe que aparecieron por primera vez en The Socratic Digest. Caracterizados por la honestidad y el realismo de Lewis, su perspicacia y conviccion y, sobre todo, su total compromiso con el cristianismo, estos ensayos hacen de Dios en el banquillo un libro muy adecuado para nuestro tiempo.
God in the Dock
A brave, subtle, and sharp book about miracles, the science-faith relationship, redemption or man’s final destiny
“Lewis struck me as the most thoroughly converted man I ever met”, observes Walter Hooper in the preface to this collection of essays by C. S. Lewis.
“His whole vision of life was such that the natural and the supernatural seemed inseparably combined.” It is precisely this pervasive Christianity which is demonstrated in the forty-eight essays comprising God in the Dock. Here Lewis addresses himself both to theological questions and to those which Hooper terms “semi-theological,” or ethical. But whether he is discussing “Evil and God,” “Miracles,” “The Decline of Religion,” or “The Humanitarian Theory of Punishment,” his insight and observations are thoroughly and profoundly Christian.
Drawn from a variety of sources, the essays were designed to meet a variety of needs, and among other accomplishments they serve to illustrate the many different angles from which we can view the Chr

Muchas de ellas estan inacabadas, pero contienen una gran sabiduria sobre la naturaleza de la realidad. Esta coleccion de ficcion futurista incluye una impresionante historia de ciencia ficcion escrita al principio de su carrera en la que los intelectuales de Cambridge son testigos de la ruptura del espacio-tiempo a traves de un “cronoscopio”, un telescopio que mira no solo a otro mundo, sino a otro tiempo.
Tan poderosa, inventiva y profunda como sus obras teologicas y filosoficas, La torre oscura es una lectura ideal para los fanaticos de J. R. R. Tolkien, el viejo amigo y colega de Lewis.

Diablo Propone Unbrindis – (Spanish)
$14.99Add to cartLa unica secuela oficial, escrita por el propio Lewis, de la siempre popular Cartas del diablo, publicada junto con otros ensayos breves.
Uno de los libros mas populares que jamas haya salido de la pluma de C. S. Lewis fue escrito en nombre del diablo, un demonio mayor, experimentado en el arte de atraer a sus “pacientes” en la tierra a su propia condenacion al servicio de “nuestro padre abajo” y capacitar a otros para que hagan lo mismo.
La correspondencia del diablo con su sobrino, un aprendiz de diablo, llego a manos de Lewis, dijo, por una ruta que no quiso revelar, y muchos lectores han terminado la coleccion anhelando mas de las ideas que obtuvieron de su sabiduria.
Para gran resistencia de Lewis, este discurso de despues de la cena, dado por el diablo a una clase de demonios que se graduaban en una universidad en el infierno, salio a la luz unos aos despues de la publicacion de las cartas originales. Ahora, 80 aos despues, el discurso se reproduce en su totalidad una vez mas, junto con una breve coleccion de otras obras menos conocidas pero perennes de Lewis.
Mucha gente se habra olvidado de la unica “secuela” oficial que existe de “el diablo”, el 80 aniversario de la publicacion de “El diablo” es la oportunidad perfecta para traer esto de vuelta. Este volumen incluye tambien siete brillantes ensayos de Lewis, incluido el famoso El peso de la gloria.
Screwtape Proposes a Toast
The only official sequel, penned by Lewis himself, to the ever-popular ‘Screwtape Letters” – published alongside other short essays.
One of the most popular books ever to come from the pen of C.S. Lewis was written in the name of Screwtape, a senior devil, experienced in the art of luring his “patients” on earth to their own damnation in service of “our father below” – and training others to do the same.
Screwtape’s correspondence with his nephew, an apprentice devil, came into Lewis’s hands, he said, by a route he would not disclose, and many a reader has finished the collection longing for more of the insights they gained from its wisdom.
Much to Lewis’s resistance, this after-dinner speech, given by Screwtape to a graduating class of demons at a college in hell, came to light a few years after the publication of the original letters. Now 80 years later, the speech is reproduced in full once more, along with a short collection of Lewis’s other lesser-known, but perennial works.
Many people will have forgotten about the only official “sequel” th
