C.S. Lewis nos lleva a un profundo viaje a través del cielo y el infierno en este cautivador relato alegórico, que cambiará para siempre nuestra forma de pensar sobre el bien y el mal.
En Gran divorcio, C.S. Lewis vuelve a emplear su formidable talento para la fábula y la alegoría. El escritor, en un sueño, se encuentra en un autobús que viaja entre el Infierno y el Paraíso. Este es el punto de partida de una extraordinaria meditación sobre el bien y el mal que se enfrenta a El matrimonio del cielo y el infierno de William Blake. En palabras del propio Lewis: Si insistimos en conservar el Infierno (o incluso la Tierra), no veremos el Cielo; si aceptamos el Cielo, no podremos retener ni los recuerdos más pequeños e íntimos del Infierno .
En este extaordinario relato, hay un autobús. Cualquiera que viva en el reino fantasmal puede coger el autobús para ir a algún lugar resplandeciente y hermoso. Pero al final, la mayoría opta por volver al mundo gris, lleno de excusas, miedos o vicios que no soportan perder.
-----
C.S. Lewis takes us on a profound journey through both heaven and hell in this engaging allegorical tale, changing forever the way we think about good and evil.
In The Great Divorce C.S. Lewis again employs his formidable talent for fable and allegory. The writer, in a dream, finds himself in a bus which travels between Hell and Heaven. This is the starting point for an extraordinary meditation upon good and evil which takes issue with William Blake's The Marriage of Heaven and Hell. In Lewis's own words, 'If we insist on keeping Hell (or even earth) we shall not see Heaven: if we accept Heaven we shall not be able to retain even the smallest and most intimate souvenirs of Hell.'
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.
