Product Description

En este libro, C. S. Lewis describe sus primeros días en la escuela, sus experiencias en las trincheras durante la  Primera Guerra Mundial, y la vida universitaria en Oxford - donde encontró a Dios. Sin embargo es sin lugar a dudas el aspecto racional de su conversión lo que hace de la historia de Lewis, una tan cautivadora, especialmente para los lectores contemporáneos. El es, un hombre moderno que encontró a Dios a través del camino del intelecto. Inicialmente publicado en 1955, la jornada de Lewis - su "sorpresa" - continúa de gran importancia para los admiradores de su trabajo y hoy, más que nunca, para cualquiera preocupado por la compatibilidad de lo racional y lo espiritual.  

In this book, C. S. Lewis describes his early schooldays, hisexperiences in the trenches during World War I, and undergraduate lifeat Oxford - where he found himself drawn back to God. Yet it is perhapsthe rational aspect of his conversion that makes Lewis’s story socompelling, especially to contemporary readers. He is, mostpersuasively, a modern man who has thought his way to God. Initiallypublished in 1955, Lewis’s journey - his “surprise” - continues to beof first importance to admirers of his work and today, more than ever,to anyone concerned with the compatibility of the rational and thespiritual.

Publisher's Description

En este libro tan personal, reflexivo e inteligente, Lewis nos guía hacia la alegría y la sorpresa que aguarda a cualquiera que busque una vida más allá de lo esperado.

«Un joven que desee seguir siendo ateo firme no puede ser demasiado cuidadoso con sus lecturas. Hay trampas por todas partes... Dios es, si se me permite decirlo, muy poco escrupuloso». Este libro no es una autobiografía. No es una confesión. Sin embargo, es sin duda uno de los relatos más bellos y perspicaces de una persona que encuentra la fe. Aquí, C. S. Lewis nos lleva desde su infancia en Belfast, pasando por la pérdida de su madre, el internado y un ateísmo juvenil en Inglaterra, las trincheras de la Primera Guerra Mundial hasta a Oxford, donde estudió, leyó y, en última instancia, razonó su camino de regreso a Dios. Quizá sea este aspecto de ser «sorprendido por la alegría», lo que —creyentes y no creyentes— encontremos más convincente y significativo. Lewis buscaba la alegría, una sensación elusiva y momentánea de anhelo glorioso; y la encontró, al mismo tiempo que la vida espiritual, mediante el uso de la razón.

Publicada por primera vez en 1955, esta historia sigue siendo de extrema importancia para los admiradores de sus obras y, ahora más que nunca, para todos los que tienen interés en la compatibilidad de lo racional con lo espiritual.

-----

In this highly personal, thoughtful, intelligent memoir, Lewis guides us toward joy and toward the surprise that awaits anyone who seeks a life beyond the expected.

"A young man who wishes to remain a sound Atheist cannot be too careful of his reading. There are traps everywhere... God is, if I may say it, very unscrupulous." This book is not an autobiography. It is not a confession. It is, however, certainly one of the most beautiful and insightful accounts of a person coming to faith. Here, C.S. Lewis takes us from his childhood in Belfast through the loss of his mother, to boarding school and a youthful atheism in England, to the trenches of World War I, and then to Oxford, where he studied, read, and, ultimately, reasoned his way back to God. It is perhaps this aspect of Surprised by Joy that we—believers and nonbelievers—find most compelling and meaningful; Lewis was searching for joy, for an elusive and momentary sensation of glorious yearning, but he found it, and spiritual life, through the use of reason.

First published in 1955, this history remains of extreme importance to admirers of his works and, now more than ever, to all those who have an interest in the compatibility of the rational and the spiritual.

Author Bio

Clive Staples Lewis (1898–1963) was one of the intellectual giants of the twentieth century and arguably one of the most influential writers of his day. He was a Fellow and Tutor in English Literature at Oxford University until 1954, when he was unanimously elected to the Chair of Medieval and Renaissance Literature at Cambridge University, a position he held until his retirement. He wrote more than thirty books, allowing him to reach a vast audience, and his works continue to attract thousands of new readers every year. His most distinguished and popular accomplishments include Out of the Silent Planet, The Great Divorce, The Screwtape Letters, and the universally acknowledged classics in The Chronicles of Narnia. To date, the Narnia books have sold over 100 million copies and have been transformed into three major motion pictures.
