The Screwtape Letters

In these wickedly engaging letters, Screwtape, a bedeviling official in the Lower Archy of Hell, tutors his young nephew, Wormwood, in successfully performing his first evil mission--to secure a young man's damnation. Darkly comic, yet deadly serious, THE SCREWTAPE LETTERS depicts a morally reversed world in which Screwtape presses his nephew to ever more evil seductions. But success is by no means certain, as his Enemy Above sends out interfering angels to thwart Screwtape. . . . C. S. Lewis was among the most esteemed of modern Christian thinkers, and THE SCREWTAPE LETTERS, both entertaining and thoughtful, has become one of his best-loved books.
