The Screwtape Letters

A Masterpiece of Satire on Hell’s Latest Novelties and Heaven’s Unanswerable Answer

In The Screwtape Letters, C.S. Lewis offers a sharp, darkly humorous examination of human weakness through an unforgettable perspective: that of Screwtape, a senior devil advising his inexperienced nephew, Wormwood. Through a series of letters, Screwtape coaches the young tempter in the art of leading an ordinary man toward damnation, exposing the subtlety of temptation and the everyday habits that shape the soul. By turns uproariously funny and profoundly serious, Lewis’s masterpiece reveals both the cunning of evil and the surprising strength of grace, making The Screwtape Letters one of the most compelling explorations of temptation—and resistance—ever written.
