Book desription: Time-Life, 1981. Paperback. New. No markings, no wear, this is a perfect, unread, unopened, brand new book. Incredible for its age that I still have 2 new ones. The cover illustrations of demonic agony by Jacob Landau are stunning. This is one of Lewis' best and only he could make demons writing to each funny, evil and also instructive.From the Editors' Preface: "C. S. Lewis The Screwtape Letters is one of the great incongruities of modern literature: a moral tract which was also a sensational bestseller. Cast in the form of a one-way correspondence - the helpful letters of an otherworldly-wise demon to his nephew, an apprentice in the business - it has a rich and civilized wit. But the book is not exactly sidesplitting. Nor is it salacious. Nor shocking. Nor even novel. So why did over half a million Americans buy Screwtape when most people in the book publishing business would unhesitatingly have labeled it a most unlikely candidate to succeed? Any attempt at an answer must be regarded as highly tentative, a mere shadow of a hypothesis, one requiring a brief excursion into theology and the morality of modern times.".
