A Grief Observed

C.S. Lewis
Read by Ralph Cosham

C.S. Lewis joined the human race when his wife, Joy Gresham, died of cancer. Lewis, the Oxford don whose Christian apologetics make it seem like he’s got an answer for everything, experienced crushing doubt for the first time after his wife’s tragic death. A Grief Observed contains his epigrammatic reflections on that period: “Your bid–for God or no God, for a good God or the Cosmic Sadist, for eternal life or nonentity–will not be serious if nothing much is staked on it. And you will never discover how serious it was until the stakes are raised horribly high,” Lewis writes. “Nothing will shake a man–or at any rate a man like me–out of his merely verbal thinking and his merely notional beliefs. He has to be knocked silly before he comes to his senses. Only torture will bring out the truth. Only under torture does he discover it himself.” This is the book that inspired the film Shadowlands, but it is more wrenching, more revelatory, and more real than the movie. It is a beautiful and unflinchingly honest record of how even a stalwart believer can lose all sense of meaning in the universe, and how he can gradually regain his bearings.

Comment: C.S. Lewis A Grief Observed Read by Ralph Cosham Approximately 2 hours on 2 compact discs Unabridged Written after his wife’s tragic death as a way of surviving the “mad midnight moments,” A Grief Observed is C.S. Lewis’s honest reflection on the fundamental issues of life, death, and faith in the midst of loss. This work contains his concise, genuine reflections on that period: “Nothing will shake a man - or at any rate a man like me - out of his merely verbal thinking and his merely notional beliefs. He has to be knocked silly before he comes to his senses. Only torture will bring out the truth. Only under torture does he discover it himself.” This is a beautiful and unflinchingly honest record of how even a stalwart believer can lose all sense of meaning in the universe and how he can gradually regain his bearings. “A very personal, anguished, luminous little book about the meaning of death, marriage, and religion.” -Publishers Weekly “Reading A Grief Observed is to share not only in C.S. Lewis’s grief, but in his understanding of love, and that is richness indeed.” -Madeline L’Engle, from the foreword Clive Staples Lewis (1898-1963) was born in Belfast, Northern Ireland and was educated at Cherbourg House, Malvern College, and Oxford. He was professor of medieval and renaissance English at the University of Cambridge. His conversion from atheism to Christianity in 1931 resulted in a flow of outstanding theological books, but it was The Chronicles of Narnia that he became best known for. Author of Mere Christianity Ralph Cosham has acted in numerous roles for film and TV and in more than one hundred professional theater roles in addition to narrating books for Blackstone Audiobooks. He lives in Reston, Virginia. 2005 by Blackstone Audiobooks 1961 by C.S. Lewis Tracks every 3 minutes for easy bookmarking ISBN: 078617586-9
