A masterpiece of satire, this classic has entertained and enlightened
readers the world over with its sly and ironic portrayal of human life
from the vantage point of Screwtape, a highly placed assistant to "Our
Father Below." At once wildly comic, deadly serious, and strikingly
original, C. S. Lewis gives us the correspondence of the -worldly-wise
old devil to his nephew Wormwood, a novice demon in charge of securing
the damnation of an ordinary young man. The Screwtape Letters is the
most engaging and humorous account of temptation--and triumph over
it--ever written.
