Lewis's classic allegorical tale about a bus that travels from hell to heaven is an extraordinary meditation upon good and evil, and grace and judgement.?
In this rich tale, there is a bus. Anyone living in the ghostly, perpetually-dripping realm can take the bus to someplace brilliant and beautiful. But in the end, most choose to return to the grey world, full of excuses, fears, or vices they cannot stand to lose.
In The Great Divorce Lewis reveals truth with a new understanding and highlights ways people can improve, he urges everyone to recognize personal flaws and to take accountability for the situations you are part of, and he discusses how we as a society need to be self-satisfying.
Much deserves to be quoted . . . attractive imagery, amusing satire, exciting speculations . . . Lewis rouses curiosity about life after death only to sharpen awareness of this world.-- Guardian
It is in this work that he first presents the revolutionary idea that the doors in hell are locked in the inside. Using his extraordinary descriptive powers, Lewis's The Great Divorce will change the way we think about good and evil.?
