Meet the Author

C. S. Lewis
C. S. Lewis

Clive Staples Lewis (1898-1963) was one of the intellectual giants of the twentieth century and arguably the most influential Christian writer 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 English at Cambridge University, a position he held until his retirement. His major contributions in literary criticism, children's literature, fantasy literature, and popular theology brought him international renown and acclaim. 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 The Chronicles of Narnia, Out of the Silent Planet, The Four Loves, The Screwtape Letters, and Mere Christianity.

Clive Staples Lewis (1898-1963) fue uno de los intelectuales más importantes del siglo veinte y podría decirse que fue el escritor cristiano más influyente de su tiempo. Fue profesor particular de literatura inglesa y miembro de la junta de gobierno en la Universidad Oxford hasta 1954, cuando fue nombrado profesor de literatura medieval y renacentista en la Universidad Cambridge, cargo que desempeñó hasta que se jubiló. Sus contribuciones a la crítica literaria, literatura infantil, literatura fantástica y teología popular le trajeron fama y aclamación a nivel internacional. C. S. Lewis escribió más de treinta libros, lo cual le permitió alcanzar una enorme audiencia, y sus obras aún atraen a miles de nuevos lectores cada año. Sus más distinguidas y populares obras incluyen Las Crónicas de Narnia, Los Cuatro Amores, Cartas del Diablo a Su Sobrino y Mero Cristianismo.

Biography

C. S. Lewis was famous both as a fiction writer and as a Christian thinker, and his biographers and critics sometimes divide his personality in two: the storyteller and the moral educator, the "dreamer" and the "mentor." Yet a large part of Lewis's appeal, for both his audiences, lay in his ability to fuse imagination with instruction. "Let the pictures tell you their own moral," he once advised writers of children's stories. "But if they don't show you any moral, don't put one in. ... The only moral that is of any value is that which arises inevitably from the whole cast of the author's mind."

Storytelling came naturally to Lewis, who spent the rainy days of his childhood in Ireland writing about an imaginary world he called Boxen. His first published novel, Out of the Silent Planet, tells the story of a journey to Mars; its hero was loosely modeled on his friend and fellow Cambridge scholar J.R.R. Tolkien. Lewis enjoyed some popularity for his Space Trilogy (which continues in Perelandra and That Hideous Strength), but nothing compared to that which greeted his next imaginative journey, to an invented world of fauns, dwarfs, and talking animals -- a world now familiar to millions of readers as Narnia.

The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, the first book of the seven-volume Chronicles of Narnia, began as "a picture of a Faun carrying an umbrella and parcels in a snowy wood," according to Lewis. Years after that image first formed in his mind, others bubbled up to join it, producing what Kate Jackson, writing in Salon, called "a fascinating attempt to compress an almost druidic reverence for wild nature, Arthurian romance, Germanic folklore, the courtly poetry of Renaissance England and the fantastic beasts of Greek and Norse mythology into an entirely reimagined version of what's tritely called 'the greatest story ever told.'"

The Chronicles of Narnia was for decades the world's bestselling fantasy series for children. Although it was eventually superseded by Harry Potter, the series still holds a firm place in children's literature and the culture at large. (Narnia even crops up as a motif in Jonathan Franzen's 2001 novel The Corrections). Its last volume appeared in 1955; in that same year, Lewis published a personal account of his religious conversion in Surprised by Joy. The autobiography joined his other nonfiction books, including Mere Christianity, The Screwtape Letters, and The Great Divorce, as an exploration of faith, joy and the meaning of human existence.

Lewis's final work of fiction, Till We Have Faces, came out in 1956. Its chilly critical reception and poor early sales disappointed Lewis, but the book's reputation has slowly grown; Lionel Adey called it the "wisest and best" of Lewis's stories for adults. Lewis continued to write about Christianity, as well as literature and literary criticism, for several more years. After his death in 1963, The New Yorker opined, "If wit and wisdom, style and scholarship are requisites to passage through the pearly gates, Mr. Lewis will be among the angels."

Good To Know

The imposing wardrobe Lewis and his brother played in as children is now in Wheaton, Illinois, at the Wade Center of Wheaton College, which also houses the world's largest collection of Lewis-related documents, according to The Christian Science Monitor.

The 1994 movie, Shadowlands, based on the play of the same name, cast Anthony Hopkins as Lewis. It tells the story of his friendship with, and then marriage to, an American divorcee named Joy Davidman (played by Debra Winger), who died of cancer four years after their marriage. Lewis's own book about coping with that loss, A Grief Observed, was initially published under the pseudonym N. W. Clerk.

Several poems, stories, and a novel fragment published after Lewis's death have come under scrutiny as possible forgeries. On one side of the controversy is Walter Hooper, a trustee of Lewis's estate and editor of most of his posthumous works; on the other is Kathryn Lindskoog, a Lewis scholar who began publicizing her suspicions in 1988. Scandal or kooky conspiracy theory? The verdict's still out among readers.

Capitulo Uno

La puerta equivocada

Este es el relato de algo que sucedio hace mucho tiempo, cuando tu abuelo era un nino. Es una historia muy importante porque muestra como empezaron todas las idas y venidas entre nuestro mundo y el de Narnia.

En aquellos tiempos Sherlock Holmes vivia aun en la calle Baker y los Bastable buscaban tesoros en Lewisham Road. En aquellos tiem-pos, los ninos tenian que llevar un rigido cuello almidonado a diario, y las escuelas eran por lo general mas desagradables que hoy en dia. Aunque las comidas eran mejores; y en cuanto a los dulces, no quiero ni contarte lo baratos y deliciosos que eran, porque solo conseguiria que se te hiciera la boca agua en vano! Y en esa epoca vivia en Londres una nina llamada Polly Plummer.

La nina vivia en una de las viviendas que, pegadas unas a otras, formaban una larga hilera. Una manana, mientras estaba en el jardin trasero de su casa, un nino se encaramo desde el jardin de al lado y saco la cabeza por encima del muro. Polly se sorprendio mucho porque hasta aquel momento no habia habido ninos en la casa contigua, unicamente el senor Ketterley y la senorita Ketterley, que eran hermanos y solteros, algo mayores ya, y vivian alli juntos. Por ese motivo, la nina alzo la vista, llena de curiosidad. El rostro del ninodesconocido estaba mugriento, y no podria haber estado mas sucio si el muchacho se hubiera restregado las manos en la tierra, despues se hubiera puesto a llorar y a continuacion se hubiera secado el rostro con las manos. A decir verdad, aquello era casi exactamente lo que habia ocurrido.

-- Hola-- saludo Polly.

-- Hola-- respondio el -- . Como te llamas?

-- Polly-- dijo ella -- . Y tu?

-- Digory.

-- Vaya, que nombre mas gracioso!-- comento Polly.

-- No es ni la mitad de gracioso que Polly-- replico el.

-- Si, si que lo es-- dijo Polly.

-- No, no lo es-- protesto Digory.

-- Por lo menos yo me lavo la cara-- dijo Polly -- , que es lo que deberias hacer, especialmente despues de...-- Y alli se detuvo.

Habia estado a punto de decir «despues de haber lloriqueado», pero penso que no resultaria muy educado.

-- Pues si que lo he hecho, y que?-- repuso Digory en voz mucho mas alta, igual que un nino que se siente tan desgraciado que no le importa quien sepa que ha llorado -- . Y tambien tu llorarias-- prosiguio --si hubieras vivido toda tu vida en el campo y hubieras tenido un poni y un rio al fondo del jardin, y de repente te hubieran traido a vivir a un agujero repugnante como este.

-- Londres no es un agujero-- replico Polly muy indignada.

Pero el nino estaba demasiado exaltado para prestarle atencion y siguio hablando:

-- Y si tu padre estuviera en la India..., y hubieras venido a vivir con una tia y un tio que esta loco, dime tu a quien le gustaria...; y si el motivo fuera que tienen que cuidar de tu madre... y tu madre estuviera enferma y se fuera a... se fuera a... morir.

En aquel momento su rostro se altero totalmente, como sucede cuando intentas contener las lagrimas.

-- No lo sabia. Lo siento-- se disculpo Polly humildemente.

Y a continuacion, puesto que apenas sabia que decir, y tambien para desviar los pensamientos de Digory hacia temas mas alegres, pregunto:

-- De verdad esta loco el senor Ketterley?

-- Bueno, o esta loco-- dijo Digory --o algo raro pasa. Tiene un estudio en el desvan y tia Letty dice que no debo subir jamas alli. De entrada, eso ya parece sospechoso, y ademas hay otra cosa. Siempre que intenta decirme algo a la hora de las comidas, porque jamas habla con mi tia, ella siempre lo hace callar, diciendo: «No molestes al nino, Andrew», o «Estoy segura de que Digory no quiere oir hablar

de eso», o tambien: «Que te parece, Digory? No te gustaria salir a jugar al jardin?».

-- Que clase de cosas intenta decirte?

-- No lo se. Nunca llega a decirme nada. Y todavia hay mas. Una noche, mejor dicho, ayer por la noche, cuando pasaba por delante de la escalera que conduce al desvan para ir a acostarme, y por cierto, no es que me guste mucho pasar por delante de esa escalera, estoy seguro de que oi un alarido.

-- A lo mejor tiene a una esposa loca encerrada ahi arriba.

-- Si, ya lo he pensado.

-- O quiza es falsificador de billetes.

-- O tal vez de joven fuera pirata, como el que sale al principio de La isla del tesoro, y ahora se viera obligado a esconderse de sus antiguos cama-radas.

-- Que emocion!-- exclamo Polly -- . No sabia que tu casa fuera tan interesante.

-- Quiza tu la encuentres interesante-- refunfuno el -- , pero no te gustaria si tuvieras que dormir alli. Que te pareceria permanecer despierta en la cama mientras oyes los pasos del tio Andrew avan-zando sigilosamente por el pasillo hacia tu habitacion? Y tiene unos ojos horribles.

Asi fue como Polly y Digory se conocieron: y puesto que acababan de empezar las vacaciones de verano y ninguno de ellos se iba a la playa aquel ano, se veian casi a diario.

Sus aventuras se debieron en gran medida a que fue uno de los veranos mas lluviosos y frios que habia habido en muchos anos, y eso los obligo a realizar actividades de interior; se las podria llamar «exploraciones caseras». Resulta maravilloso lo mucho que se puede explorar con el cabo de una vela en una casa grande, o en una hilera de casas. Hacia tiempo que Polly habia descubierto que si

se abria cierta puertecita del desvan de su casa se encontraba el deposito de agua y un lugar oscuro detras de el al que se podia acceder trepando con cuidado. El lugar oscuro era como un tunel largo con una pared de ladrillos a un lado y un tejado inclinado al otro, y en el tejado habia pequenos retazos de luz entre . . .
