Posts from C.S. Lewis and his Narnia.

Here, we write everything about the great writer. I think that children should read such books before going to bed because Lewis put a lot of Christian values into them, and the child will grow up to be cultured and devout.

And, of course, good triumphs over evil.

The books are really good; congratulations, you've created an interesting topic. I've read almost all of them, several times, and I enjoyed them.

Well, I haven't read it cover to cover, mostly just bits and pieces, I haven't had the time. But I will definitely read it, because the excerpts are good, and it's a classic, I'm just sure it's a wonderful book.

P.S. Whoever wins, wins...

The book is really good. I read almost all the works (I couldn't finish 2 or 3) when I was 12, on my father's strong recommendation, but once I started, I continued reading on my own :)

P.S. Will Mom ever get tired of reading it to me at night? There are hundreds of pages in all the works.

I think I read it too :D Although I read it myself when I was about 10... Vikh, it's not necessary to read the whole volume to a child at once, otherwise their brain will explode!)

I read it about 3 or 4 years ago...:rolleyes: I remember liking it, but I don't remember the specifics of each one, so I can't answer. P.S.: Is it read aloud? It's about the same length as Lord of the Rings:smile40:

I read them :D. The best ones are: "The Magician's Nephew" and "The Horse and His Boy" :smile54:. But I stopped reading "The Last Battle," I didn't like it anymore (( I think the author was just making up plots to finish the series (but that's just my opinion).

I was recently reading to my child before bedtime. He loved it, and it really made me think. Two moments from "The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe" stood out. 1. When the evil White Witch ruled Narnia, she only killed those who directly disobeyed her or opposed her authority. Or rather, she didn't kill them (!), but turned them to stone. A dozen? Two? In any case, not many. And not forever, as it turned out later. But our "good" heroes, after defeating her, committed a real genocide:

Their reign was long and happy. First, they spent a lot of time finding the surviving minions of the White Witch and destroying them. For a long time, nasty creatures lurked in the wild corners... In one place, a witch appeared, in another, a man-eater. In one place, a werewolf was seen, in another, they told stories about a kikimora. But finally, all the evil tribe was eradicated.

Just like that, simple and straightforward. If you don't believe in the bright ideals of good and democracy, we'll get you! Everyone - from old to young. Just try to appear (!) in some wild corner (!!!) - and you're done for. We instill double standards in children from an early age so that it will be easier to brainwash them later. And the attitude is: "Why should we pity them? They are nasty, godless pagans/Muslims/communists!" 2. Somewhere in the middle of the story, the evil queen turned a family, either beavers or rabbits, I don't remember, and our mischievous boy into stone. I immediately thought that the author was leaving a "gun on the wall" so that at the end of the book, it would fire - when the mischievous boy is "corrected," he would remember the poor animals and call for them to be turned back. With a subsequent happy ending - everyone is happy, everyone is laughing. But it wasn't meant to be. That's what good is like. Simple, fair, and very, very good :)

I read it a very, very long time ago. Now I barely remember some parts. But back then, I really liked all the Chronicles!!! It's amazing!!!

cyberB, the evil sorceress was, albeit forced, an immigrant both in our world and in Narnia, and I believe that immigrants should treat the population and the founder of the country (world) they immigrated to with respect and abide by their laws. I think if she had behaved that way, no one, neither here nor in Narnia, would have been against her living there, but judging by her behavior, even from her very first words... well, I wouldn't want to live under her rule... at least Aslan didn't find the sorceress to be any better than Hitler, Mussolini, and the like...
