William Papas Boeken

Die freundliche Eule wird vom stolzen Pfau gebeten, das Mittagessen seines Kindes zur Schule zu bringen. «Woher soll ich wissen, wer dein Sohn ist?», fragt sie. Pfau lacht und putzt sich. «Gib es einfach dem schönsten Kind dort», sagt er … Wird Eule erfolgreich sein? Eine herrlich farbenfrohe Geschichte mit einem wahrlich köstlichen Ende …

A masterpiece of satire, this classic has entertained and enlightened readers the world over with its sly and ironic portrayal of human life from the vantage point of Screwtape, a senior tempter in the service of "Our Father Below." At once wildly comic, deadly serious, and strikingly original, C. S. Lewis gives us the correspondence of the worldly-wise old devil to his nephew Wormwood, a novice demon in charge of securing the damnation of an ordinary young man. The Screwtape Letters is the most engaging and humorous account of temptation—and triumph over it—ever written. Now, for the first time, The Screwtape Letters is presented with its full text alongside helpful annotations provided by Lewis enthusiast and dramatist Paul McCusker. The notes include literary, theological, and biographical information to enhance Lewis's core themes and demystify complex ideas. McCusker also guides readers to concepts and references from the beloved author's other treasured volumes to deepen and enrich this timeless classic. The annotated edition is the ultimate guide for understanding the heavenly truths buried in these epistles from below.
