LEWIS, A BIOGRAPHY OF YOUNG JACK LEWIS (1898 to 1918) During his youth, the boy who would become C. S. Lewis formed his most basic impressions and tastes regarding music, art, literature, religion, education, war, and more. The issues young Jack Lewis wrestled with drove him toward the foundation on which his life would be built. His childhood interests, influences, longings, struggles, and even failures prepared him to engage his gifts as a writer, teacher and friend. Lewis expert Harry Lee Poe unfolds young Jack's key relationships, hobbies, spiritual conflicts, decisions, desires and dreams. Along the way, Poe points out where these themes reappear in Lewis's later works, bringing to life the importance of his conversion and his surprising discovery of joy. (From the dust jacket). BOOK TWO: THE MAKING OF C. S. LEWIS, FROM ATHEIST TO APOLOGIST (1918 to 1945) At the end of World War I, young C. S. Lewis was a devout atheist about to begin his studies at Oxford. In the three decades that followed, he would establish himself as one of the most influential writers and scholars of modern times, undergoing a radical conversion to Christianity that would transform his life and his work. Scholar Harry Lee Poe unfolds these watershed years in Lewis's life, offering readers a unique perspective on his conversion, his friendships with well known Christians such as J. R. R. Tolkien and Dorothy L. Sayers, and his development from an opponent of Christianity to one of its most ardent defenders. (From the dust jacket). BOOK THREE: THE COMPLETION OF C. S. LEWIS, FROM WAR TO JOY (1945 to 1963) The years following World War II were especially trying for C. S. Lewis. Enduring food shortages and a stifling domestic life, the beloved author also faced his brothers alcoholism, his own declining health, and the deterioration of his Inklings writing group. But there were high points as well. He saw his career soar at home and abroad, and also found new love. In this biography, Harry Lee Poe details the final years of Lewis life, including the creation of the Chronicles of Narnia series and other bestselling books, as well as Lewis marriage to Joy Davidman Gresham. Wrapping up his trilogy on Lewis, Poe honors the pain and triumphs that shaped one of the most well-known Christian voices of the literary world. (From the dust jacket).
