Perelandra
Book 2 of the The Space Trilogy series
314 pages · First published 1943
Elwin Ransom travels to Venus—Perelandra—and discovers a young, unfallen world of floating islands, brilliant colors, and a solitary Green Lady whose choices may determine the planet’s spiritual future. His wonder turns to dread when Weston arrives and becomes the instrument of a temptation deliberately echoing the biblical fall of humanity. Ransom realizes that argument alone may not be enough to prevent Perelandra from repeating Earth’s catastrophe. The second Space Trilogy novel combines planetary adventure, Christian theology, mythic imagery, and philosophical debate in C. S. Lewis’s imaginative exploration of innocence, temptation, obedience, and free will.
