Product details

"The Great Divorce" by C.S. Lewis is an allegorical novel that explores the nature of salvation, free will, and the distinction between Heaven and Hell through a fantastical story. The narrative follows an unnamed narrator who finds himself in a bleak, grey town (symbolizing Hell or purgatory) and boards a bus that takes him and other souls to the outskirts of Heaven.

Throughout the story, the souls are offered the opportunity to leave the grey town and enter into the fullness of Heaven, but most choose to return to their familiar misery and self-centeredness. Lewis uses this journey to illustrate how personal choices and attachments—such as vanity, pride, greed, and bitterness—keep people from accepting divine grace and happiness.

Key Features

The absolute importance of free will: souls choose their state of being, and Hell is described as self-chosen, based on refusal to surrender selfish desires.
The analogy of "ghosts" and "solid beings": the souls in Hell are insubstantial and fragile, whereas those in Heaven become "more solid" through grace.
The struggle between self-love and divine love: many characters resist full acceptance of heaven because of their attachments to earthly vices or illusions.
The story contains vivid characters representing various human vices and virtues, such as a mother obsessed with her son, a bitter cynic, and a boastful man clinging to his reputation.
