Пока мы лиц не обрели
Миф о Психее в той или иной литературной версии известен практически каждому. Однако Клайв Льюис в своем замечательном романе-деконструкции раскрывает его с совершенно неожиданной стороны, ставя во главу повествования не саму возлюбленную Амура, а старшую из ее сестер – царицу Оруаль. Роман, по форме представляющий собой увлекательное и оригинальное фэнтези, по сути является талантливой философской притчей на вечную тему – тему родственной любви. Любви разрушительной и созидающей, властной и эгоистичной, глубоко и искренне самоотверженной – и в то же время удушающей сам ее предмет.
Письма Баламута. Расторжение брака
В этот сборник вошли сразу три произведения Клайва Стейплза Льюиса – «Письма Баламута», «Баламут предлагает тост» и «Расторжение брака». «Письма Баламута» – блестяще остроумная пародия на старинный британский памфлет – представляют собой серию писем старого и искушенного беса Баламута, занимающего респектабельное место в адской номенклатуре, к любимому племяннику – юному бесу Гнусику, только-только делающему первые шаги на ниве уловления человеческих душ. Нелегкое занятие в середине просвещенного и маловерного XX века, где искушать, в общем, уже и некого, и нечем… «Расторжение брака» – роман-притча о преддверии загробного мира, обитатели которого могут без труда попасть в Рай, однако в большинстве своем упорно предпочитают привычную повседневность городской суеты Чистилища непривычному и незнакомому блаженству.
