does not disappoint from a philosophical and theological perspective
C. S. Lewis, as usual, does not disappoint from a philosophical and theological perspective. His knowledge is overwhelming on occasion; but, his dedication can always be seen and felt. Any person wishing to look more deeply into their dedication and commitment to a spiritual base or concept will be well served by reading this book.

Always good
These essays can be found in other works, but I always buy anything I come across by Lewis and I am never disappointed. I had read these before, but his works, for me, always reveal new insight regardless of how familiar one is with them.

The collection also includes several essays on literary criticism.
This fantastic compilation of short essays and articles showcases the author's extraordinary intellect and diverse interests. This book is a must-read for Lewis fans and anyone who appreciates insightful and thought-provoking writing.One of the highlights of this collection is Lewis's essay on the importance of reading old books, a timeless piece still relevant today. His arguments for why we should read old books are compelling, and his examples of books that have stood the test of time remind us that there is much to be learned from the past.The collection also includes several essays on literary criticism, where Lewis offers his unique perspective on what makes literature great and how to interpret it. His literary analysis of works such as Beowulf, Jane Austen's novels, and Shakespeare's plays is insightful and entertaining.In addition to Lewis's essays, this collection includes several short pieces by Ralph Cosham, a British actor and audiobook narrator who worked on many of Lewis's books. Cosham's contributions are a fitting addition to the collection, providing a different voice and perspective that complements Lewis's writing.Overall, C.S. Lewis Essay Collection and other short pieces is an excellent collection that showcases the brilliance of one of the greatest authors of the 20th century. It is a fascinating and insightful read that will leave readers with a greater appreciation for the power of words and the importance of reading.

The Master
No one does it better. He is an unabashed Christian. Erudite and humble, a rare combo.

an unmissable read
No-one should, if at all possible, go through life without having a thousand mysteries clear up by this amazingly lucid mind. No need to plough through, cover to cover. Just dip in, think and reflect. It changes one's whole perspective on life

essential Lewis
this is very fine collection od religious essays and this is a reading for whole life. I recommend to read chosen essays quietly in the night and absorb this very slowly almost by instinct. I have yet to read an author so skilled in words and so deep outside the clergy circle writing about eternal things.

Wisdom
What you get from anything by CS Lewis is beautifully written, thought provoking wisdom from start to finish. and this is the best single collection of his work available. It would accompany me to a desert island. You can't seem to order it as a hardback from an ordinary high street bookstore any more.

A worthwhile review, along with unpublished works presented for further rounding out his life and philosophy.
For those familiar with C. S. Lewis, this book rounds up many pieces I've not seen elsewhere. In that it is a joy and worthwhile read. Interspersed among some otherwise unseen essays from throughout his life and career are several unfinished works that were less fulfilling when not rounding out the full ideas he must have been intending to make. Those are few and can be read after their introduction, or not. But the vast majority of essays were either a review or new pearls for those seeking the insight of this teacher, a treasure of our age.
