Clive Staples Lewis - read the author's books online for free

British writer, poet, professor of English literature, scientist and theologian of Irish descent. He is best known for his fantasy works, including The Chronicles of Narnia, The Space Trilogy, and books on Christian apologetics such as The Letters of Balamut, Simply Christianity, Miracle, and Suffering.

Lewis was a close friend of another famous writer, JRR Tolkien. They both studied at the Faculty of English Language and Literature in Oxford and were active members of a literary group known as the Inclings. Lewis was baptized at birth in the Anglican Church in Ireland, but lost his interest in religion as a teenager.

Thanks to his friend J. R. R. Tolkien, Lewis returned to the Anglican Church at the age of 32 (he, as a Catholic, hoped that his friend would convert to Catholicism). Faith had a strong influence on his literary works, and Christian radio broadcasts during World War II brought Lewis worldwide recognition.
