Synopsis

C. S. Lewis, el gran escritor británico, erudito, teólogo laico, locutor, apologista cristiano y autor de éxitos de ventas como Mero cristianismo, Cartas del diablo a su sobrino, El gran divorcio, Las crónicas de Narnia y muchos otros clásicos muy apreciados, recrea brillantemente la historia de Cupido y Psique.Mientras no tengamos rostro, narrado desde el punto de vista de la hermana de Psique, Orual; es un brillante análisis de la envidia, la traición, la pérdida, el dolor, la culpa y la conversión. En esta novela, la última que escribió, y la más madura y magistral, Lewis nos recuerda nuestra propia falibilidad y el papel de un poder superior en nuestras vidas.Till we Have FacesC. S. Lewis—the great British writer, scholar, lay theologian, broadcaster, Christian apologist, and bestselling author of Mere Christianity, The Screwtape Letters, The Great Divorce, The Chronicles of Narnia, and many other beloved classics—brilliantly reimagines the story of Cupid and Psyche.Told from the viewpoint of Psyche’s sister, Orual, Till We Have Faces is a brilliant examination of envy, betrayal, loss, blame, grief, guilt, and conversion. In this, his final—and most mature and masterful—novel, Lewis reminds us of our own fallibility and the role of a higher power in our lives.

About C. S. Lewis

It is a lofty goal, but many would be pleased if the work they accomplished would last well after their death, and be lauded with posthumous praise. Such is what happened to British author Clive Staples Lewis. He was born on November 29, 1898 and passed on November 22, 1963...... just prior to his 65th birthday. It was 2013 on the 50th Anniversary of Lewis' death, that he was honored by being given a memorial in Poet's Corner in West minister Abbey.

Lewis wore many professional hats......that of novelist, poet, academic, medievalist, literary critic, essayist, lay theologian, broadcaster, lecturer, and Christian apologist. His best known work is The Chronicles of Narnia, The Screwtape Letters, and The Space Trilogy. He is the author of more than 30 books, translated into over 30 languages. As we are all aware, The Chronicles of Narnia had tremendous sales numbers and have been made popular on stage, TV, radio, and cinema.

Lewis married American author, Joy Davidman, in 1956, but sadly, she passed away only four years later from cancer at only 45 years old. Lewis then died in 1963 of renal failure.

Goodreads review by Cindy on October 06, 2020

2020 Update: Just undone. I read this for the first time when I was 18, I think. In many ways, in the last 40 years I have lived it. Tonight I miss my Psyche, Emily. I have read this book over and over again. Perhaps it is the book I have reread more than any other. I used to read it because I didn'......more

Goodreads review by Jeremy on August 26, 2007

One of the lesser known of Lewis' fiction works, this is a masterful retelling of the mythological story of Cupid and Psyche that paints a vivid picture of how selfish humanly love is, and to what extent we will go to protect it. The narrative serves to humble the reader as the heroine of the novel......more

Goodreads review by Bradley on March 03, 2017

This seems to be the right time of year to pick out a ton of books all focused on retelling old Greek myths! Perennial favorite C. S. Lewis went out of his way to retell the story of Psyche and Cupid from the PoV of Orual, the ugly sister, and it's a very well-told tale. He admits he uses the origina......more

Goodreads review by Emily on February 23, 2008

A must-read for any Lewis fan. He began the book as an unbeliever (a case against God) and finished it some 30 years later fully converted. Almost autobiographical, you get a real sense of his own spiritual awakening. It is claimed to be his personal favorite. The name comes from the scripture: "No......more

Goodreads review by Douglas on August 24, 2016

Stupendous. World class. Top drawer. Finished an audio version of it in August of 2016. I have read this a total of three times. Once when I was young, and I didn't like it. The second time was in 2003, and I thought it was great. This time, and greater still.......more
