At the insistence of his readers to create a second part of his famous work "Screwtape Letters", Lewis wrote this book. With his habitual lucidity and quality of thought, the author offers us a set of living and close essays, in which ingenuity and the most solid argumentation on the human condition are combined. This work deals with very diverse subjects, most of them related to different aspects of Christian life. As always, Lewis takes as his starting point the most practical examples, taken "at ground level", of everyday life, and uses them to explain clearly and amusingly the various doctrinal truths.
