The Great Divorce
What's it about
What if you could visit the afterlife and choose between Heaven and Hell? This journey explores the surprising reasons people might actually prefer misery over joy, forcing you to confront the subtle attachments and self-deceptions that hold you back from true happiness and fulfillment in your own life. Through a fantastical bus ride from a grim, grey town to the foothills of Heaven, you'll witness profound conversations between spirits and saints. Discover how everyday choices about pride, vanity, and resentment forge our eternal destinies, and learn why letting go is the hardest—and most important—decision you'll ever make.
Meet the author
C. S. Lewis was a towering intellectual of the 20th century, holding prestigious academic posts at both Oxford and Cambridge Universities where he taught literature and philosophy. A former atheist, his own profound journey to Christian faith gave him a unique and empathetic lens through which to explore complex theological ideas. This personal transformation, combined with his literary genius, allowed him to craft imaginative allegories like The Great Divorce, making profound questions about heaven, hell, and human choice accessible to all.
