Unlock the secret to Narnia that has mystified readers for over half a century…
Millions of people have been captivated by C.S.Lewis’s classic Chronicles of Narnia – but some questions have never been successfully answered. Why are there seven books? Why are only three of them obviously biblical allegories? Does the series lack coherence, as Lewis’s critics, and even some of his friends, have claimed? Many have attempted to find the organising key, the secret code, of the series, but the structure of Narnia’s symbolism has remained a mystery.
Until now.
In The Narnia Code Michael Ward presents an astonishing literary discovery. Drawing on the whole range of Lewis's writing, Ward reveals the single subject that provides the link between all seven novels. He explains how Lewis structured the series, why he kept the code secret, and what it shows about his understanding of the universe and the Christian faith.
Originally published as the groundbreaking scholarly work Planet Narnia, this accessible adaptation holds the key to reading the Chronicles and understanding Lewis in a whole new way.

Paperback. Etat : New. The Narnia books are mysterious. Millions of people have been captivated by them, but are left with unanswered questions. Why are there seven books? Are they biblical allegories? If so, why do four of them seem to have no biblical basis? Why do they lack uniformity? Why does Father Christmas appear in them? In The Narnia Code Michael Ward attempts to answer this puzzle. Drawing on Lewis' love of Medieval astronomy, Ward breaks the Narnia 'code' and demonstrates the single theme that provides the link between all seven books. The author takes us through each of the seven Chronicles of Narnia and draws from the whole range of Lewis' other works to reveal the secret. Based on a groundbreaking scholarly work (Planet Narnia, OUP) that entered the Sunday Times best seller list, this fascinating book will cause the reader to understand Lewis in a whole new way. It has some important things to say about how we understand the universe and Christian faith today. N° de réf. du vendeur LU-9781842277225
