The first book to explore in Lewis's oeuvre is The Great Divorce. This classic joins the notable list of "dream of" or "trip to" heaven books from the centuries. It's no surprise that Lewis had his own original take and rather than Virgil as his guide he chooses George MacDonald. Let's travel together through the imagination of this great author.
Books I mention in this episode:
The Medieval Mind of C.S. Lewisby Jason Baxter
The Great Divorce
Dante's Divine Comedy
The Pilgrim's Progress
