Product Description

"A close literary analysis in a scholarly, yet accessible manner, centering arguments around the belief that most Narnia books are primarily devotional rather than literary. Often reads like an engaging running commentary rather than a mere collection of essays. Highly recommended,"---Library Journal. 224 pages, softcover. Baker.

Publisher's Description

The Chronicles of Narnia series has sold over 85 million copies worldwide and introduced people of all ages to the central doctrines of Christianity. Anticipating the December 2010 Walden Media/20th Century Fox release of The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader, this book guides readers through the third novel of C. S. Lewis's classic series. As he did in the successful Inside Narnia and Inside Prince Caspian, Devin Brown takes readers through The Voyage of the Dawn Treader chapter by chapter, illuminating the features of C. S. Lewis's writing, providing supplemental information on Lewis's life and other books, offering comments and opinions from other Lewis scholars, and uncovering the work's rich meanings. Longtime fans of C. S. Lewis and those who have met him through the movies will want to read this book.

Inside The Voyage of the Dawn Treader: A Guide to Exploring the Journey Beyond Narnia 5 5 2 2

This is a clear, insightful, and interesting book. Anyone who loves C. S. Lewis or Narnia will enjoy this and will enjoy Lewis's works even more after reading it. Highly Recommended! November 23, 2011

Best Commentary Series on Narnia Devin Brown's Inside Narnia series is three sevenths of the way to becoming the only *complete* commentary on the Narnia books. It is already the best. Like with Inside Narnia and Inside Prince Caspian, Brown walks the reader chapter-by-chapter through Voyage of the Dawn Treader. Unlike other books on Narnia, which often focus exclusively on the connections within Narnia to other aspects of Lewis's thought - or focus on explaining the literary sources for Lewis's mythical world - Brown also devotes considerable time treating the book as a work of master-class writing. Which it is. Readers (like me) for whom VODT is the pinnacle of the Chronicles need not worry that Brown unweaves the book's powerful magic. Brown is a good writer himself and his commentary somehow still retains much of the excitement and charm of the primary source. As a critic, Brown adopts Lewis's model for criticism, which is wary of too much reading between the lines. Brown points out clear connections to Lewis's other work, illuminates the book's literary features and allusions, but avoids the "mare's nests" often caused by over-interpretation. This is a book that sends you back to the original with greater appreciation and enjoyment. Recommended for book groups or high-school-and-up classrooms, and especially for serious fans of VODT, who are legion. October 28, 2010
