Till We Have Faces

“Till We Have Faces” is a high-tension philosophical novel—a “retelling of the myth,” as the author himself defines it. The timeless story of Eros and Psyche raises eternal questions about the Fate of a person and the nature of Love—and provides answers to them.

This is the last major work of the well-known English writer and Christian apologist C. S. Lewis (1898–1963). Many believe it is also his best. Even so, Lewis’s world is so diverse (as one critic puts it, the writer could have changed his literary name three times and none of his admirers would have guessed that both “The Chronicles of Narnia” and “Mere Christianity” were written by the same hand) that all kinds of praise here would hardly be appropriate.
