Faith in Fiction: Out of the Silent Planet by C.S. Lewis

Faith in Fiction will meet on Monday, January 22nd at 7pm to discuss Out of the Silent Planet by C. S. Lewis.

Location - 803 Cattleya Ct. Louisville, KY 40207

“While searching for a place to rest for the night, Dr. Elwin Ransom is abducted by a megalomaniacal physicist and his accomplice and taken to the red planet of Malacandra (Mars) as a human sacrifice for the alien creatures that live there. Once on the planet, however, Ransom eludes his captors, risking his life and his chances of returning to Earth, becoming a stranger in a land that is enchanting in its difference from Earth and instructive in its similarity. First published in 1943, Out of the Silent Planet remains a magnificent and suspenseful tour de force in which epic battles are fought between the forces of light and those of darkness. It is the incredible beginning to C.S. Lewis’s spectacular Space Trilogy, which also includes Perelandra and That Hideous Strength.” — Scribner
