Synopsis

The famous C.S. Lewis' book "The Screwtape Letters" finally in Greek. This unique Version, available by Athos Press, NY and Amazon through Canada, has been modernly and insightfully adopted in Greek by George G. Spanos and includes the unique Rev. Bishop of Oxford Kallistos Ware's essay on Sobornost "C.S. Lewis an Anonymous Orthodox?". There are also summarised quotes at the end, one from each letter, and some famous ones made by Lewis in his other works. In his work, Kallistos, exhausted this fascinating question and noted humbly that Lewis" tended to idealize us Orthodox" and believes that "while his relations with the Orthodox Church were not extensive, he had perfectly harmonized his rationale with the Orthodox view." Lewis always wrote his original works in hand, and he usually burned the original text as soon as his brother, Warnie, typed it on the typewriter - he wrote with a pen tip, which he had to dive every time on the ink cartridge, and his practice helped him to carefully select the words he used, a pattern that explained the minor corrections his original writings always had. George G. Spanos, who studies Lewis' works extensively, since 1993, mentions in his epilogue some indicative characteristics from the writer's personal life that clearly demonstrate Lewis experiential, and not theoritical, spirituality. "I held the book "The Screwtape Letters", for the first time in my hands back in 1993, at the Monastery of Elder Sophronius Sakharov at Essex, where I usually visited weekends to "wake up" from the dizziness and the spiritual poverty of London, while studying there for almost 4 years. In the Monastery's small bookstore room, I responded kindly to a friend who suggested to me the book, that "we (Orthodox) who have the Fathers and endless writings of the Saints, what and why could we possibly need to study in foreign writers?" Despite my primordial, (albeit not very unjustifiable) statement, I managed to react positively not only to his proposal, but also to a strange attraction that I felt towards the book because of its unique indeed, diachronic and allegoric writing. From the same evening to this day, I remain as impressed as the millions of Lewis readers around the world [...] I will always benefit from the content of its meanings and skillful adoptations [...] so many ontological meanings, hidden in this correspondence that is impossible any reader, not to recognize all those pieces that concern him [...] Until I "unfolded" the first Letters, I had already realized how important it would be one day to be able and read this book in Greek as well."
