C.S.劉易斯：

劉易斯1898年2月生於北愛爾蘭首府貝爾法斯特的一個清教徒傢庭，律師之傢。童年時代生活平靜安逸，從小就喜歡躲在小閣樓上耽讀、幻想。9歲失去母親的經曆，直接影響瞭他筆下魔法世界的誕生。隨後他就被送往英格蘭一所嚴格的寄宿學校，從此逐漸遠離瞭父親。

他26歲登上牛津大學教席，人稱“最偉大的牛津人”。

他60歲遇到一生摯愛，卻在兩年後遭遇天人永隔之苦。

他1963年離開人世之前，就為十年後纔去世的摯友托爾金寫好瞭訃文。因為隻有寫齣瞭《納尼亞傳奇》的人，纔有資格說他真正瞭解《魔戒》的作者。

劉易斯一生著述甚豐，齣版過若乾關於英國中世紀及文藝復興時期文學的評論作品。

在學術研究方麵最重要的著作有《愛的寓言：中世紀傳統研究》《十六世紀英語文學》《個人的異端》等。

在宗教方麵有《痛苦問題》《純粹基督教信仰》等。

在文學創作上則有科幻小說“空間三部麯”（《沉寂的行星之外》《皮爾蘭德拉》和《駭人的力量》）與《納尼亞王國傳奇》。

Four adventurers step through a wardrobe door and into the land of Narnia--a land enslaved by the power of the White Witch. But when almost all hope is lost, the return of the Great Lion, Aslan, signals a great change . . . and a great sacrifice.

　　There are a thousand stories in the land of Narnia, and the first is about to be told in an extraordinary motion picture, The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, from Walt Disney Pictures and Walden Media. This is the companion book to that movie. Here is a bold and striking contemporary new look for this classic series, designed especially for adult readers! Fifty years ago, C. S. Lewis created a land of wonder and enchantment in The Chronicles of Narnia. Since its first appearance, more than eighty-five million readers worldwide have come to love this definitive fantasy series. Now all seven perennially popular books are available in a brand-new adult trade paperback format. The story describes the never-ending war between good and evil. Narnia is a land frozen in eternal winter; a country waiting to be set free. Four adventurers step through a wardrobe door and into a land enslaved by the power of the White Witch. But when almost all hope is lost, the return of the Great Lion, Aslan, signals a great change and a great sacrifice.

　　Initially when Lewis turned to writing children's books, his publisher and some of his friends tried to dissuade him; they thought it would hurt his reputation as writer of serious works. J.R.R. Tolkien in particular criticized Lewis's first Narnia book, The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe. He thought that there were too many elements that clashed—a Father Christmas and an evil witch, talking animals and children. Thankfully, Lewis didn't listen to any of them.

　　Following the publication of The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe in 1950, Lewis quickly wrote 6 more Narnia books, publishing the final one, The Last Battle, in 1956. Although they were not well received at first by critics and reviewers, the books gained in popularity through word of mouth. The Narnia books have since sold more than 100 million copies and are among the most beloved books of classic children's literature.
