- When you've finally finished reading the entire Chronicles of Narnia, you may be wondering "what's next?" Many readers are surprised to discover that C. S. Lewis wrote an entire series before he ever began to compose the world of Aslan, Lucy Pevensie, Reepicheep and others. The Ransom Trilogy, which includes Out of the Silent Planet, Perelandra, and that Hideous Strength, involves a fascinating and complex cosmology. In this episode, we examine the world of C. S. Lewis' Cosmic Trilogy.
A huge thanks to the talented Zachary Tullsen for his fantastic painting of "the Hrossa". Check out his artwork at www.zacharytullsen.com.

Wow. This plot got me really excited, particularky the part about how the Lucifer-equivalent guardian angel over Planet Earth rebelled, causing Earth to be the silent planet and odd one out amongst the rest of the compliant, God-aligned cosmos. It's really doing Science Fiction in an original (Christianesque) way that is very different from today's secular Sci Fi. I never thought it was possible to merge Christianity and sci-fi, due to our modern secularity brought about by science.
Update: Just finished reading it, it was rad. I particularly loved the contrast between mankind and Malacandrian society, and how the Oyasa of Earth twisted all the laws in humans' minds until they were afraid of death. It really reminds me of Sauron and how he made the Numenoreans fear the Gift of Men (death) and start to see it as a curse instead, leading to Ar-Pharazon and the Akallabêth.
The thing is, C. S. Lewis was writing in the (sub)genre of VICTORIAN sc-f. It was already outdated by nearly half a century BACK THEN, and it was so by design.
The faith -vs- science thing is an atheist construct don't fall for the trap. Viewed in the proper perspective they complement each other. Modern "science" often abuses statistical analysis to achieve a specific goal ignoring exceptions. Anyone pointing out the exceptions is "anti-science". True science highlights exceptions and corrects the theory to explain them.
“Faith and reason are like two wings on which the human spirit rises to the contemplation of truth; and God has placed in the human heart a desire to know the truth- in a word, to know himself- so that, by knowing and loving God, men and women may also come to the fullness of truth about themselves.”
― Pope John Paul II (Karol Wojtyła), Fides et Ratio: On the Relationship Between Faith and Reason
Only through Christ were we as a society even able to discover modern science. Jesus taught us to love our neighbour, and in loving our neighbours we listened to them, and were then able to create more together than we ever could have apart. Our modern secularity simply stems from the primal, almost childlike, and extremely immature desire to have no one tell us what to.do. we hate being commanded. We always home, and we always will. Therefore, it's easier to just believe that god and his commandments do not exist, and just to live life without them.
@@christianali5431 Science IS secular, you cannot have your cake and eat it too. Either modernity is bad or it isn't.
Secularity brings together people of different backgrounds, religion divides.
Don't take my word for it, take Matthew and Luke (Mt 10:34-36, Lk 12:51-53).
Thanks for updating! Great to hear your thoughts!
The descriptions of the seas, oceans, and islands in Perelandra is unequalled in literature. Trust me.
AGREED!!! I visualized every detail of Perelandra! I imagined the floating and undulating islands like untethered rafts covered in flora, with creatures and microclimate of their own. The colors of the sky and water is also fresh in my mind even though it's been years since I read that particular book. I have wished for years that the Trilogy would be produced for large screen movies. I would just hate for the Trilogy to be poorly made like so many hokey Christian movies though.
The Space Trilogy is probably the most unique science fiction series ever written! It doesn’t need all the machines, aliens, and sci-fi tropes to be great, it just shines as its own special piece of writing.
This was a great summery IntoTheWardrobe, I hope there is more to come!
Yes!!! I never thought it was possible to merge sci-fi and Christianity. Amazing.
Absolutely! When I first-time heard about Cosmos Trilogy written by my spiritual leader C.S. Lewis I wanted to read it immediately! Until I wait...time after time(Waiting is the biggest nightmare of my life, that is why I don't like my first name, Anna. I hate to wait! Especially for demise and getting older and older! It's dreadful!). Sorry I have to write this. Thanks to doing it I feel venial. Anyways, back to the Cosmos Trilogy after the same one lady gave me a copy of this Masterpiece in one giant book. Now I read already The Silent Planet and Perelandra and I' m totally imprest by these two parts and I slowly digging into the third part of it. When I started reading the first time of That Hideous Strength I felt a little bit, strange and disappointed. But I hope it was just the wrong fist effect so I don't be judge this part until I read it to finally the end. I'm sure it can be surprise me and not for a one time! Just like Lewis, Tolkien and their wise followers like to do and that's incredible! I'm so so so so... much appreciated for leadeth this channel and doing that episode!!!!
@@ucjaromanczyk5623 What has always frustrated me about that Hideous Strength is how Mark and Jane do not manage to reunite until close to the end of the book. I get worried for Mark despite having read the story 5 times before.
Thanks for writing. That Hideous Strength can be tough to wade through. 10 years ago I could hardly finish it. Now that I'm older, it is my favorite. I reference it more often than any of the others.
@@paulharrison8379 That's good writing!
My favorite first impression when I read the Space Trilogy as a kid was the realization that the Philosopher beats the pragmatic Scientist every time.
As I grew up and learned more about quantum physics, this was confirmed.
You must first recognize that CS Lewis wrote about space travel before we went to the moon.
So he writes about the pervasive sunlight that is so bright it pierces the walls of a space craft.
We visit space and the first impression of the scientists is that space is cold and dark.
And afterwards we recognize that even though it is not visible, the astronauts are exposed to tremendous amounts of solar radiation outside our atmosphere and protective ozone.
So... CS Lewis was right. Just not by first observance.
The Philosopher beat the Scientist before - he had the chance to know for certain. Since Lewis died the same day as JFK, he found out how right he was in Aslan's country. ;)
Aldous Huxley (Brave New World) also died the same day. Thankless day for those writing literary obituaries that nobody would bother to read.
Space Trilogy might actually be my favorite Lewis books!
Same. Especially "That Hideous Strength."
@@gustavramirez2891 oh I like the horse and his boy
Reading That Hideous Strength for the third time (in the last year). Wow. This book continues to shock and thrill me. After Till We Have Faces, probably my favorite of Lewis' fiction.
Till We Have Faces is my favorite novel by Lewis. It is unfortunately rather overlooked.
I'd never even heard of the Space Trilogy from C.S.Lewis 😲Really want to get copies to read now.
Please do, you won't be disappointed. You will read it a few times too.
@@josephboder6640 Absolutely!
It's really great! I read it and I loved it!
Just wait for the 3rd book - basically foretells danger of Twitter.
This is cs Lewis prophecy
I read "Out of the Silent Planet" many years ago for a college class...and did an analysis of the book. I LOVED it! So much amazing symbolism throughout the story. I would love so much to see a quality movie that stays true to the book.
Somebody do that, please!
I have always wanted that and just committed the same!
We need to find investors and a quality production team! I have the musical score, theme song, and credit page graphics rattling in my head and would love to contribute it for consideration!😃
I'm so happy there are others that feel the same!
Seeing what Amazon has done with TLR I fear a woke version.
@@ed056 I am not sure what you mean. While CS Lewis has some old fashioned ideas about the roles of men and women (he is very much of his time), much of his morality and ideas would be what you consider ‘woke’.
@@milliesecond102 Post here please. Start a GoFundMe page, or similar, you'll find a lot of supporters.
@@brontewcat Not really. Lewis' morality is based in Christianity and so is timeless. Read particularly The Screwtape Letters and Mere Christianity. The problem is that our morality is corrupted.
Tolkien and Lewis differentiated themselves from other authors by creating sagas different from the others.
Because they were based on the spirituality of faith, and on rooted moral values that tempered the character of the protagonist.
Making him a full-fledged hero.
The space trilogy sounds interesting, but I have more to read right now.
I'll elaborate on that later, thanks so much for bringing this up.
Good job. 🤗
With Narnia being written more on a child's level, this series is more on a adult level I believe .also sounds like the gospel is in there too.😀
Definitely high school level at least. Gets pretty intense at the end of That Hideous Strength.
Oh, yes! Lewis' stories definitely point our the origin of sin and the process of repentance toward redemption through a colorful journey with vividly detailed scenery and characters along the way.❤️❤️❤️
That final book was my favorite.
The saga is so good that I think a open world video game could be awesome.
I read them for the first time a few months ago, finished a few weeks ago. It was wonderful! Truly touching and I was more scared of “the unman” and the NICE than any ghost/monster in any book I’ve read.
I'm very glad that you're covering The Space Trilogy! I feel the most unique thing about it is that it's sci-fi but written with a Ptolomaic template, instead of a Newtonian one - Lewis was probably the last person in the history of mankind that took seriously the Ptolomaic medieval model of cosmology and following this model, he wrote a sci-fi work that's different from everything that we have today (that follow a Newtonian and, more recently, Einsteinian cosmology).
My dad got me to read these when I was young. I know so few people that have read them. Prosaic but highly underrated.
I'm currently reading the Space Trilogies after finding out Tolkien and Lewis worked together to create awesome stories!! They were the original "Fine, I'll do it myself." Thanks for bringing up this book!
I love your comment on the relationship dynamics of Lewis and Tolkien who were dear friends that inspired the best out of each other❤️
The ransom trilogy completely rocked my world, probably my favorite books of all time.
Wasn't Lewis SO ahead of his time??? What a gift he was given and we are blessed by it!
Finally, someone else realizing that Tolkien, Ransom, and Narnia could all be connected!
I've read Space trilogy years ago. After watching this video, I am going to reread them again. I enjoy the explanations for each character and seeing them in a different light. I do have a suggestion for a possible future videos is Lewis's "The Screwtape's Letters."
Ooooh I was excited to see this one! I've loved the Ransom stories since I was in high school. I recommend them to everybody reading this comment. That Hideous Strength gets pretty frightening a time or two though, be advised lol. Thank you so much for the video and recognition!
Stay well out there everybody, and God bless you, friends. ✝️ :)
Fingers crossed Stuart does a similar study for the second part of the Ransom tetralogy - Perelandra.
A breath taking novel which tells of a world where the Fall doesn't happen ! Even the great John Milton didn't attempt this. Enjoy !
I would absolutely love both to see more on the space trilogy, and for the series to be more well known.
Grew up on Narnia, but discovered the space trilogy as a teenager, and there's just so much! in them.
Perilandra particularly, I remember reading at an incredibly aweful time in my life as a teenager, just when I needed a world of beauty where mindless, soulless evil could indeed be defeated.
I even on several occasions literally dreamed! of what the worlds of Mercury and Jupiter would be like if given Lewis's landscapes, that's how profoundly this trilogy affected me.
That so much for sharing your story. The truths in these books can certainly serve to encourage us in dark times.
@@IntotheWardrobe is it possible that the space trilogy takes place in Narnia universe or when the kids pass the ether void in the WBW they are passing this story
I discovered The Space Trilogy as I was searching for something new and interesting to read. Of course, since it was written by my favorite author, I knew I wouldn't be disappointed and I wasn't!! Each book has its own unique story line but they definitely are not stand alone books. You must read all of them. I love the hross, such characters and the eldil and Oyarsa are amazing. That Hideous Strength may give you nightmares but is so well worth the read. Thanks for sharing this great series with those who might not have known about it.
I recently read the Space Trilogy for the first time and loved it - I think it's the best stuff Lewis has ever written :) Shame it's unknown to most :(
Ah yes, of course Tolkien & Lewis are the best for their ways of story telling. They're just the best duo masters to learn.
Ah Stuart! I love the trilogy!
And everyone for future videos he's planning on doing Narnia what ifs so if you have a what if suggestion comment your idea or your what if on this comment
What if Digory had adopted his uncle's way of thinking before meeting Polly.
What if the Pevensies learned magic?
What if the pevensies were adopted and the professor was there dad...
I no he's a little old but
What if the pevensies never left narnia?
What if there was a Multiverse for Narnia? (Examples: Aslan is human and we are lions; Reepicheep is actually the Dark Lord; Ramson Trilogy and Narnia are part of the same universe; White Witch is actually the hero, and the Pevensies are Hitler Youth infiltrators… and more!
I remember reading "out of the silent planet" many years ago, what memories
I'm so happy you're sharing this! I only read the first one, and it's already some of the finest and most peculiar sci-fi I've ever read. It's a shame it's not as well known as Narnia, it very much deserves to be!
Please read the rest. You can't appreciate the beginning until you've gotten to the end.
@@paulblase3955 Funnily enough, I've read them all a couple weeks ago. Truly magnificent, mind-bending stuff!
What a wonderful surprise!!! I love the first 2 books if the Trilogy! I can't get past the first few chapters of Hideous Strength but I have movie ideas for Perelandra - down to the theme song, movie score, and the graphics for the credits!
C.S. Lewis is such a gifted writer that I visualized every written detail of the book, like the moving islands (described like untetheted rafts), the first woman, creatures, the cave setting, and the rest. I wish there were investors to produce the Trilogy as it deserves to be shown to a new generation of thinking young people. Lewis' books have timeless lessons, but the Trilogy was WAY ahead of its time!!!
I would love to contribute my ideas for a large screen production!
Thanks for introducing Narnia fans to the next level of Lewis' stories.❤️❤️❤️
If you read it, then you know why it couldn't happen. Ransom and Tinidril are nude for practically the entire book--and also, there's a LOT of dialogue, with very little action.
Perelandra is the one book that I *can’t* imagine as a movie. Like 50% of the novel is exposition, how do you show that on screen? And how could you possibly do the final scene justice in a movie?
That Hideous Strenght is the best one and has the most application to our time. Dont give up. Get through those first few chapters. You will not regret it. :)
U should read that hideous strength literally a commentary of modern times
@ComicRaptor8850 it's in my head, and I can describe it to a sketch artist. It would be a combination of animation and creative cinematic effects.
Summer is the best season ever
For reading meaty books!😃
I've read the trilogy several times and until now thought I was one of the few who read it. Excellent reading.
The Ransom trilogy was the second book series after Narnia that I encountered related to Lewis. I listened to a free audiobook version (this was available via CZcams) and Oh boy I was not ready for what I encountered. After going from the magical lands of Narnia I wasn't ready for the heavy theological space fantasy series. Especially the last book which felt like Lewis took a swing at 1984 in his style. Good books don't think I could manage them again with how heavy they are. And very glad to see some one talk about them as its what I craved after listen/ reading them.
You make a great point comparing That Hideous Strength to 1984. I remember reading it and going, "That sounds a lot like how people think today."
I'm so excited to see more of this, I have loved the Ransom Trilogy since I was a kid!
I just finished reading about Aslan Country (Revelation). Time to stand at at the lamp post and start over. I’m in a silly/good mood 😂🤷🏾♂️
I'm so glad you did this. I hope to see more on this series, which has always been a favorite
That was beautiful. I never thought I could ever hear a Lewis work that intrigued me like Narnia but you’ve proven me wrong. I can’t wait to hear more and I can’t wait to get these books sometime.
Absolutely love this series!!
Mt jaw dropped when you revealed what the next episode would be about... I cant wait!!!!
Excellent synopsis of the first part of the Ransom tetralogy. Beautiful accompanying art work.
Thank you to Stuart.
( Like CS Lewis, I Perelandra is the best book )
tetralogy?
@@oxoelfoxo dark tower
Another fantastic video! I can’t wait to dive into this trilogy! I can get it for free in audible!
Wow! Right now I want to read that whole cosmological trilogy!! I really love your channel, giving deep and rich analysis of this iconic, spiritualistic and fantastical world of Lewis!! Wonderful work!! I love this style of Science Fiction is like Space Fantasy style or even Cosmology Myths! similar to A True Story of Lucian, the adventures of Baron Munchausen, the Barsovian Saga, Dante Heavens and others cosmological stories! They are quirky, sensational and uniquely familiar! It complements well with the surreal and logic!
I'm really glad you covered this. The Space Trilogy, and not Narnia, was actually where I first got into Lewis and they remain solid favorites. Looking forward to seeing where you take this. :)
You're videos are great! Keep them coming!
Dr. Michael Ward is smiling somewhere when you said “better called the Ransom Trilogy.”
I've heard many C.S. Lewis fans bring up this series but I never knew about the plot until now. I hope to read this series soon!
Can't wait for the next video! It's a topic that's always intrigued me.
first opload a month!!! finely we can listen to you're voice again, even if its not narnia
Even the video about it was amazing. I’m getting this trilogy on Kindle!
I just read Out of the Silent Planet! What a great book 👏👏
Love the artwork. Love the video. Love Narnia.
Love YOU!
I have read all 3 several times. I will tell you after the 1st time I read Perelandra it fundamentally changed the way I looked at all of creation and my understanding of Adam and Eve.It has become one of my all time fave books. To be honest I had wondered if you were going dabble into the trilogy
AGREED! Perelandra is my favorite!
Perelandra was always my favorite as well, but after re-reading in prep for this study, I think THS is my new fav. Shocking, I know! Maybe because I'm older? Maybe because it seems a bit prophetic for such a time as this?
Many years ago my local library had the original Bodley Head edition set of the Space Trilogy. I read "Out of the Silent Planet" and fell in love with it, then started to read Perelandra soon after, but found it hard to continue due to it's more heavy theological/philosophical discussions. I completed it years later at a different stage in my life when I had become a believer in the Baha'i Faith, and found it much more satisfying then. I've still yet to read "That Hideous Strength".
I just heard about this series a few days ago! Good timing
I've been a HUGE Narnia fan for over 40 years, but have never read the Space Trilogy. My first thought when I read about this newest video (which I haven't seen yet) was, "what does the Space Trilogy have to do with 'Into the Wardrobe'?" But then I read all the positive comments here, now I'm anxious to watch the video, and probably read the books now! I've enjoyed this whole video series about Narnia so much, I'm sure that this Space Trilogy will be equally as good!
I have the Narnia books but didnt know about these, thank you for letting those of us that didnt even know about them informed of them, now to try and track them down.
Haha what timing for me! Just today I had bought Fall of Hyperion, so I have been thinking about sci-fi all day. And then I saw the video when arriving home! LOL! As a sci-fi nerd, I plan to probably write my own sci-fi series with a similar motivation that Lewis and Tolkien had. Those two have had quite the influence on my imagination. So I look forward to the upcoming videos on this topic!
The wood between worlds and discovering the endless types of worlds lie within them would be absolutely amazing to look through
Really
I actually found the space trilogy after my trip through Narnia…love love love “That Hideous Strength” the most!
Oh finally he uploaded again let's go
Looking forward to more...and need to find a copy of these to read them again! They are lost somewhere in storage.
You might find them in used book stores. Call around to see which ones have them in stock. If you don't find them locally, Ex Librus and Thriftbooks online have a great selection and are inexpensive compared to Amazon. But with Amazon, you can get them shipped free and perhaps even faster. You should have no trouble find them.
@@milliesecond102 or dig through a hundred boxes in my garage 😄
Love these books I just finished the audios for all three recently.
Time to read this soon!
Finalmente, alguém falando sobre a trilogia espacial.
Great video!
My wife and I listened to this series last summer, and we both loved the books for so many reasons! I love the medieval cosmology and hot philosophical takes. If you have an Audible subscription, you can listen for free!
I didn't even know these existed. Thank you!
What a revelation? tysm for this vid. i realize that He is really out there. Whatever name we coined Him. Kudos. 🥰🥰🥰🇵🇭
Wow! I never knew about this series! I really wanna read those books!
Amazing video. Thank you for such great content. I too personally believe that all of C.S. Lewis' works are within the Woods between the Worlds. I believe that Middle Earth would be actually before Narnia as it is made to be earth before the true Earth we know today.
One of Lewis's cleverest bits of writing is when Weston gives his speech to the Oyarsa, and Ransom must translate it because Weston (thinking the Malacandrans mere primitives) did not deign to learn the language. It's a bit of a heavy-handed hatchet job-this is Lewis, after all-but it's still brilliantly written. Weston gives a cliché-ridden speech (he even looks around for a chair to sink into when he is finished, a typically Lewis psychological touch). Ransom then repeats it in Old Solar for Oyarsa, which we read as English, but a kind of simplified English that strives to convey meaning rather than rhetorical devices. When Weston, explaining why humans must pitilessly colonize the universe says, "Life is greater than any system of morality," Ransom tries, "He says that living creatures are stronger than the question whether an act is bent [the unfallen Malacandrans have no word for 'evil'] or good-no, that cannot be right-he says it is better to be alive and bent than to be dead-no-he says, he says-I cannot say what he says, Oyarsa, in your language'. I do not think there is anything like it elsewhere in literature.
So good!
Weston should have said, "Any system of morality is rooted in the biological drive for survival. All that is Life seeks to survive".
Yay!!!! Another amazing theory 👏
I have a theory
My theory is you can't go to Narnia unless you have met someone who has starting from the professors time on down because Lucy didn't go to Narnia untill she went to the professors house the other Pevensies didn't go to Narnia untill Lucy had, same with Eustace and Jill
Cool! Thanks!
I love this trilogy especially Perelandra
The space trilogy it's simply spectacular
Can't wait for your theory video
Hope it comes out soon
Just finished this trilogy recently. Loved it even more than Narnia
The summer has only started
Man the new video sounds so good I'm a big Jrr tolkien fan and newbie to CS Lewis
Wow, saw this and immediately bought the trilogy, can’t wait to read :)
Gotta love eBay ;)
I never realized how much of a prophet C. S. Lewis was until now when I think of remembering reading his space trilogy. There is a lot there that I think will come out. The third one is a big doozie! Loved the second one of course did not mind the first but the third went over my head until recently and then my mind just got blown. Yes I do recommend these books for sure! Though Narnia I think would be fine for children I would recommend the space trilogy for teenagers and up.
I had the same experience. My first reading 20 years ago, I don't even think I got through that hideous strength. Now that I'm older and understand the world better, I found it absolutely enthralling. It might just be this day and age, but it certainly seems nearly prophetic.
Lewis was in some ways imitative, and That Hideous Strength was stylistically very much influenced by the urban fantasy novels of his friend and fellow Inkling, Charles Williams. You might well want to look into some of them. "War in Heaven" is his first and perhaps most straightforward; "The Greater Trumps" is about Tarot cards and while a bit obscure towards the end, has some unforgettable visual imagery; and "Descent Into Hell" is a psychological story involving a succubus, the spirits of the dead, and redemption by the active power of Love (to simplify matters greatly).
Dude you're killing me!!! I need this unified theory video. I think I've been pondering something similar and for certain was considering a connection upon my last ride through the space trilogy. That was before I saw this... now I'm very curious what you're thinking.
This is like how I felt after the Narnia Code...😂😂😂😂😂
I’ll definitely give this trilogy a read
Perlandra was my introduction into science fantasy and it is crazy how this trilogy is less known bc it is a great series
My best friend loved this trilogy. I really must read it.
I love your channel brother! Keep it up!
Well, kudos for beating me to the punch: I've been a fan of your work pretty much since day one ("Aslan is not Safe" I think) and I'm excited to see someone with much better production value than myself tackle this theory
I've wanted to make a video suggesting the Space Trilogy, Narniad and Legendarium were connected for some time now, but never could figure out how to start it. I'm hyped to see you do it!
Plenty of room for both! Hopefully you'll release yours sometime soon too!
It's awesome that Tolkien and Lewis were such close friends. A few years ago a college bible study I was in was going over the Screwtape Letters and when I saw he devoted the book to Tolkien I about had a heart attack of excitement haha. Would be cool to check these out and as always, great work!
Lewis had a group of intellectual friends that would meet, sometimes in his rooms at Oxford, but often at a pub named "The Eagle and Child" that they nicknamed "The Bird and Baby" the group was called "The Inklings" and J. R. R. Tolkien was a regular member. Tolkien would often preview there some books he was writing about Hobbits, Dwarfs, Elves and Wizards, "The Hobbit"and "The Lord Of The Rings".
THAT HIDEOUS STRENGTH has allegorical significance for today, with the UN/WHO/WEF as the N.I.C.E.
Of course, one would have to read this work to glimpse the correlation.
In many ways Lewis was more prescient than Orwell or Huxley.
"And it's true name shall be heard again."
I've only just realised - fifty years after first reading the books - that we have *no idea* what Thulcandra's true name is!
Subtle, Lewis.
I read Out of the Silent Planet before I even read the Narnia series. I've now read all of Narnia series and the Space Trilogy. Especially in the Space Trilogy you can see the gospel all through. Not really for children but excellent books.
I tried to read the first one of these after I finished reading The last battle and craving more too. I never got through it but I maybe should give the series a new chance? I was 8 or 9 then and I'm 49 now with other perspectives....
I love the space trilogy too!
i have to read this series
A new series what!!!!
First I saw that when it said 17 seconds perfect timing
This was great! Now I have to go read the trilogy again. I noticed last month’s video seems to be missing sound. Is that just on my end?
i read the first one, i have a really old copy, thouraly enjoyed it, did not knoe there was more will be tracking them down
Read all 3 years ago and love the first 2. The 3rd is ok but it's a different type of story from the other 2. Not saying its bad and there are moments I really like, but for the 3rd, I have to actively force myself to get through most of the book to get to the bits I like. The other 2 are a joy to read pretty much throughout.
Where the illustrations come from? They are stunning!
With the exception of the two channel intro images and the illustration of the hross, I created all of these using a combo of MidJourney AI and Photoshop. Lots of work but very much worth it.
@@IntotheWardrobe they are truly beautiful! is it not possible to ask for some of them to keep as screensaver or things like that?
Ransom is Tolkien:) and I really need to re read the series it's been since I was only 17 years old, I am now almost 44 and understand Lewis, Tolkien and philosophy so much better I think il understand it so much better now :)
Actually, I DID read *_The Chronicles of Narnia_* during the summer :D and first time in English... And I've read The Space Trilogy years ago and it was suprisingly good
