Summary

The novel is set in Tuscany, between the middle and the end of the 20th century. Luisa a young woman, inherits from her aunt a house in Versilia, in Forte dei Marmi. Determined to make it her new home for life, she begins the renovation and, in rearranging papers and furnishings, starts a search that will lead her to discover the secret hidden there for generations. Aunt Palmira had isolated herself from the surrounding world, becoming almost a mystery within that small community. Luisa, who as a child was already glamoured by that figure hidden behind a thousand hats with a small veil to cover her eyes,wanted to understand now, as a woman, what she had hidden for a lifetime in that house and in her soul. The unexpected discovery of the diaries brings to light stories of people passing through, who had stayed in what had been a small boarding house at the time and that, otherwise, would have remained mute within the written pages and their own lives.

    C.S. Lewis For Beginners is a thorough examination of C. S. Lewis, the greatest Christian apologist of the twentieth century, throughout his career as an author and as a professor at Oxford University. A Christian apologist defends Christianity as a consistent and coherent worldview that squares with human reason, history, and desire. It offers answers to every facet of our lives on earth as well as answers to our questions about what happens after we die. What makes C.S. Lewis unique as an apologist is the way he balanced so perfectly reason and imagination, logic and intuition, and head and heart. In addition to writing such non-fiction apologetics books as Mere Christianity, The Problem of Pain, and Miracles, he wrote eleven novels: the seven Chronicles of Narnia, a trilogy of science-fiction adventures, and a haunting retelling of an old myth set in the ancient world. All eleven tell wonderful, captivating stories that stand on their own as fiction but that also support and bring to life the kinds of apologetical arguments he makes in his non-fiction. He also wrote two utterly unique works of fiction, The Screwtape Letters and The Great Divorce, that offer a fresh, highly original take on sin and temptation, angels and devils, and heaven and hell. And that’s not all. Lewis the apologist and novelist had a day job. He was a celebrated English professor at Oxford, and then Cambridge, University who wrote works of literary criticism that are still famous today. C.S. Lewis For Beginners takes the reader through the wardrobe of his complete catalog of writing.

    The troublemaking students of Ms. Jenkins' class arrive at school one day to discover a substitute creacher has come to put a stop to their monkey business!

But even this multi-tentacled, yellow-spotted, one-eyed monster's cautionary tales about the consequences of mischief-making can't seem to change the students' wicked ways until he reveals the spookiest and most surprising story of all: his own.
