A sharp, sophisticated fantasy, this second book in Lewis's science fiction trilogy deals with an old problem -- temptation -- in a new world -- Perelandra (Venus).

Dr. Ransom is ordered to Perelandra by the supreme being. There he finds a Garden of Eden.

"A story told by a writer of distinguished imagination. It is enriched with learning, a sharp pictorial sense of the extraordinary and metaphysical speculation." (Observer)
