Summary
". . . A powerful, discriminating and poetic mind, great learning, startling wit, an overwhelming imagination. . . ."-Saturday Review
Perelandra is a planet of pleasure-an unearthly, misty world of strange desires, sweet smells and delicious tastes, where beasts are friendly and naked beauty is unashamed, a new Garden of Eden-where the story of the oldest temptation is enacted in an intriguingly new way. Here, in the second part of the trilogy, Dr. Ransom's adventures continue against the backdrop of a religious allegory that, while it may seem quaint in its treatment of women today, nonetheless shows the capability of science to be an evil force tempting a ruler away from the path that has produced a paradisiac kingdom.
