The Screwtape Letters

A masterpiece of satire, this classic work has entertained and enlightened readers the world over with its sly and ironic portrayal of humanity from the vantage point of Screwtape, a highly placed assistant to 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. Through its engrossing and supposedly found epistolary structure, The Screwtape Letters is an engaging account of temptation-and humanity's triumph over it-that offers insights into concepts such as repentance, grace, good, evil, and more.
