Book Description

The Screwtape Letters is a satirical Christian classic presented as a series of letters from a senior demon, Screwtape, to his inexperienced nephew, Wormwood. Through dark humor and ironic inversion, C. S. Lewis exposes human weaknesses, moral temptations, and spiritual complacency, revealing how ordinary habits and thoughts can quietly shape a person’s character. Witty, incisive, and unsettling, the book uses satire to explore faith, free will, and the subtle nature of good and evil.

 

About Author

C. S. Lewis (1898–1963) was a British writer, literary scholar, and Christian apologist, best known for The Chronicles of Narnia series. Born in Belfast, Ireland, Lewis was educated at Oxford University, where he later became a fellow and tutor in English literature at Magdalen College. His academic work focused on medieval and Renaissance literature, while his fiction and nonfiction explored theology, morality, imagination, and myth.

Lewis achieved worldwide fame with The Chronicles of Narnia (1950–1956), a series of children’s fantasy novels that combine adventure with philosophical and Christian themes. He also wrote influential theological works such as Mere Christianity, The Screwtape Letters, and The Problem of Pain. Known for his clarity, wit, and imaginative power, Lewis remains one of the most widely read and discussed authors of the 20th century, with a lasting impact on literature, fantasy, and religious thought.
