Experimento De Critica Literar – (Spanish)
$18.73Un clasico de C. S. Lewis que nace de la conviccion de que la literatura existe para el deleite del lector y que los libros deben ser juzgados por el tipo de lectura que invitan.
Clive Lewis sostiene que la buena lectura, al igual que la accion moral o la experiencia religiosa, implica la entrega a la obra en cuestion y un proceso de entrar de lleno en las opiniones de los demas: al leer la gran literatura me convierto en mil hombres y sigo siendo yo mismo. Para su idea de juzgar la literatura es fundamental el compromiso de dejar de lado las expectativas y los valores ajenos a la obra, para acercarse a ella con una mente abierta.
En medio de la compleja maraa de teorias criticas actuales, la sabiduria de C. S. Lewis es valiosamente realista, refrescante y estimulante en las cuestiones que plantea sobre la experiencia de la lectura en este clasico, Un experimento de critica literaria.
An Experiment in Criticism
A C. S. Lewis’s classic that springs from the conviction that literature exists for the joy of the reader and that book should be judged by the kind of reading they invite.
Clive Lewis argues that good reading, like moral action or religious experience, involves surrender to the work in hand and a process of entering fully into the opinions of others: in reading great literature I become a thousand men and yet remain myself. Crucial to his notion of judging literature is a commitment to laying aside expectations and values extraneous to the work, to approach it with an open mind.
Amid the complex welter of current critical theories, C. S. Lewis’s wisdom is valuably down-to-earth, refreshing and stimulating in the questions it raises about the experience of reading.

Narrative Poems
$16.99C.S. Lewis often said that the narrative poem was his favorite form of literary expression, although he appears to have written just four, all of which are collected in this volume. Of these, only “Dymer” was published in his lifetime. These four poems exhibit the romantic aspects of Lewis’s temperment and reveal his deep love for the medieval of Renaissance poetry on which they are modeled.

Personal Heresy : A Controversy
$16.99A repackaged edition of the revered author’s set of dueling critical essays with fellow scholar E. M. W. Tillyard in which they debate the role of an author’s biography in the critical appraisal of literature. C. S. Lewis–the great British writer, scholar, lay theologian, broadcaster, Christian apologist, and bestselling author of Mere Christianity, The Screwtape Letters, The Great Divorce, The Chronicles of Narnia, and many other beloved classics–challenges fellow scholar E. M. W. Tillyard on one of the most intriguing questions involving writers and writing. Is a work of imaginative literature primarily influenced by the author or by the subject matter? Lewis argues that the author’s own personality and biography has little to no impact on the writing, while Tillyard contends the opposite: that the author’s own imagination and story have an indelible influence on a piece of work. Clever, erudite, and enlightening, their debate may not definitively settle the issue, but it does offer invaluable insight and intellectual delight for all dedicated readers”
