Meet the author
A towering figure of twentieth-century literature, C.S. Lewis was a celebrated Oxford and Cambridge professor whose scholarly work in medieval literature profoundly shaped his fiction. His lifelong fascination with classical mythology, combined with a deep Christian faith, provided the rich intellectual and spiritual ground from which he created his masterful retelling of the Cupid and Psyche myth in Till We Have Faces. This background allowed him to explore timeless questions of faith, doubt, and the nature of divine love with unparalleled depth.
