The Screwtape Letters

In this humorous and perceptive exchange between two devils, C. S. Lewis delves into moral questions about good vs evil, temptation, repentance, and grace.

Through this wonderful tale, the reader emerges with a better understanding of what it means to live a faithful life. Dedicated to his friend J. R. R. Tolkien, this masterpiece of satire has entertained and enlightened millions of readers with its sly and ironic portrayal of human life from the vantage point of the demon Screwtape.

At once wildly comic and strikingly original, the correspondence of the worldly-wise old devil to his nephew Wormwood shows C. S. Lewis at his darkest and most playful.

Screwtape is an experienced devil. His nephew Wormwood is just at the start of his demonic career, and has been assigned to secure the damnation of a young man who has just become a Christian.

Their letters are one of C.S. Lewis's most brilliant imaginative creations and, on publication, were recognised as a milestone in the history of popular theology.
