{"product_id":"book-2614","title":"Perelandra","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eC. S. Lewis's Space Trilogy, of which \u003cem\u003ePerelandra\u003c\/em\u003e is the second volume, stands alongside such works as Albert Camus's \u003cem\u003eThe Plague\u003c\/em\u003e and George Orwell's \u003cem\u003e1984\u003c\/em\u003e as a timely parable that has become timeless, beloved by succeeding generations as much for the sheer wonder of its storytelling as for the significance of the moral concerns.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eReaders who fall in love with Lewis's fantasy series The Chronicles of Namia as children unfailingly cherish his Space Trilogy as adults; it, too, brings to life strange and magical realms in which epic battles are fought between the forces of light and those of darkness. But in the many layers of its allegory, and the sophistication and piercing brilliance of its insights into the human condition, it occupies a place among the English language's most extraordinary works for any age, and for all time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePerelandra is a planet of pleasure, an unearthly, misty world of strange desires, sweet smells, and delicious tastes, where beasts are friendly and naked beauty is unashamed, a new Garden of Eden, where the story of the oldest temptation is enacted in an intriguingly new way. Here, in the second part of C. S. Lewis's acclaimed Ransom Trilogy, Dr. Ransom's adventures continue against the backdrop of a religious allegory that, while it may seem quaint in its treatment of women today, nonetheless shows the capability of science to be an evil force tempting a ruler away from the path that has produced a paradisiacal kingdom. Will Perelandra succumb to this malevolent being, who strives to create a new world order, or will it throw off the yoke of corruption and achieve a spiritual perfection as yet unknown to man?\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blackstone Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Audiobook","offer_id":49314743255344,"sku":"BD2614","price":16.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Audio CD","offer_id":49314743320880,"sku":"ZE2614","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Audio MP3-CD","offer_id":49314743353648,"sku":"ZM2614","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0879\/2784\/9264\/files\/2614-Square-cover.jpg?v=1775548828","url":"https:\/\/downpour.com\/products\/book-2614","provider":"Downpour","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
