Till We Have Faces: A Myth Retold

C. S. Lewis

Verlag: Geoffrey Bles, London, 1956

A smart first edition of C. S. Lewis's final novel retelling the classical myth of Cupid and Psyche. First edition in a second impression dust wrapper. Said to have haunted Lewis all of his life, this is a retelling of the classical myth Cupid and Psyche, based on the telling in a chapter of The Golden Ass of Apuleius. Set in a fictional kingdom of Glome, the first part is written from the perspective of Psyche's older sister Orual as an accusation against the gods. In the second part, the narrator undergoes a conversion from her initial accusation, instead believing that the gods are lovingly present in all human lives. Written by Clive Staples Lewis, a British writer, literary scholar, and Anglican lay theologian best known for The Chronicles of Narnia series. In the original blue cloth binding. Externally, very smart with light bumping to the extremities. Original unclipped dust wrapper is also very smart with light wear and minor chipping to the extremities. The odd small mark to the panels. Internally, firmly bound. Pages are very bright and clean with light age toning to the endpapers. Very Good Indeed. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 892T69
