Interpretation Conducive To Books Space Trilogy: Out of the Silent Planet / Perelandra / That Hideous Strength (The Space Trilogy #1-3)

The Cosmic Trilogy relates the interplanetary travels of Ransom, C.S. Lewis's ill-informed and terrified victim who leaves Earth much against his will and who, in the first book of the trilogy, Out of the Silent Planet, published by the Bodley Head in 1938, encounters the imaginary and delightful world of Macalandra. In the second book, Perelandra (1943), Ransom is transported to a world of sweet smells and delicious tastes, a new Garden of Eden in which is enacted, with a difference, the story of Temptation. That Hideous Strength (1945) completes the trilogy and finds Dr Ransom returned from his travels in space and living in an English university town - where the Senior Common Room is given a mysterious depth, a more than earthly dimension which such things, in the author's view, always have in life.

C.S. Lewis believed that popular science was the new mythology of his age, and in The Cosmic Trilogy he ransacks the uncharted territory of space and makes that mythology the medium of his spiritual imagination.

Weigh Up Of Books Space Trilogy: Out of the Silent Planet / Perelandra / That Hideous Strength (The Space Trilogy #1-3)

This is C.S. Lewis foray into science fiction. I read the books as a young teenager and then again only now. It is hard to know how to classify the books, from a twenty-first century perspective. The so-called science portrayed is closer to Jules Verne or Rice Burroughs, than it is to any modern science fiction. Also, these books are very much Christian fiction, which is totally OK from my end. All this being said: I enjoyed the first and third book, while Perelandra, the second was often

Wonderful, one of the few sources that has started to convince me of the my need to read more sci-fi ;) Grand themes explored in fun, inventive ways.

This is the second time I've read this trilogy in the past 25 years. It was good the first time, even better this time.

A classic and a must read. This pre-dates so many of the sci-fi tropes done to death in sci-fi media now, but because it is CS Lewis it is ten times more original and elegiac than usual sci-fi. The aliens of this series are *alien* which is such a refreshing change to this day. That Hideous Strength is a tour de force, with so much imagery and ideas stolen by Sci fi writers of this era. Read this. The original and the best.

Fantastic read. This edition includes the entire Space Trilogy. I think that even though this is an older book you'll find it strangly applicable.Example: In That Hideous Strength the "evil group" threating the world is identified by the acronym "NICE". That's also the real acronym used for the real group in England to decide wh gets what medical treatment. And Lewis wrote this 1945.....

I really enjoyed the first two books, but then got totally bogged down in the third. It took me about a year and a half to get through it. I know its because I didnt really get it, but I enjoyed reading it so little that I dont think I will put more effort into it. Four and a half stars for the first two, two stars for the third.

I went years without reading Lewis' celebrated sci-fi trilogy. Of the three I remember Perelandra most vividly, although with a little effort all three come back to me. That Hideous Strength was different from the others in that it seemed a cautionary tale about the direction our cultural trajectory is taking. All-in-all I felt the three novels deserved their place in classic sci-fi and Christian lit.
