C.S. Lewis: The Screwtape Letters (John Cleese, unabridged)
The Book
Book Description
A masterpiece of satire, this classic has entertained and enlightened readers the world over with its sly and ironic portrayal of human life from the vantage point of Screwtape, a highly placed assistant to “Our Father Below.”At once wildly comic, deadly serious, and strikingly original, C.S. Lewis gives us the correspondence of the worldly-wise old devil to his nephew Wormwood, a novice demon in charge of securing the damnation of an ordinary young man. The Screwtape Letters is the most engaging and humorous account of temptation — and triumph over it — ever written.
The Merriam-Webster Encyclopedia of Literature
Epistolary novel by C.S. Lewis, published serially in 1941 in Guardian, a weekly religious newspaper. The episodes were collected in book form in 1942 and revised as 硕he Screwtape Letters` and 碨crewtape Proposes` a Toast in 1961. Written in defense of Christian faith, this popular satire consists of a series of 31 letters in which Screwtape, an experienced devil, instructs his young charge, Wormwood, in the art of temptation. Confounded by church doctrines and a faithful Christian woman, their efforts are defeated when their subject–a World War II pilot–dies in a bombing raid with his soul at peace. Through his satiric use of the demonic narrative persona, Lewis examines the opposing sides in the battle between good and evil.
Audiobook Review
This adaptation of C.S. Lewis’s biting satire received a 1999 Grammy nomination for best spoken-word performance, and it’s easy to see why–the story fits the format perfectly. It’s relatively brief (the unabridged reading takes a mere four hours), and contains only one character–the demon Screwtape, who writes letters to his novice nephew Wormwood, instructing him on how to best tempt his “patient” (a wayward soul on earth) into the bosom of “our Lord below.”
Obviously, the book wasn’t written with former Monty Python John Cleese in mind, but it’s hard to imagine a better Screwtape. Cleese’s voice provides the perfect vehicle for Lewis’s dry, razor-edged wit. His uncanny comic timing and ability to milk each phrase for maximum effect betray an infectious enthusiasm for the story. It’s clear that he’s having a great time reading, and it’s impossible not to laugh along with him. This inspired pairing of two of the 20th century’s greatest wits makes for a meditation on the dark side of spiritual guidance that’s as relevant and funny today as it was in Lewis’s war-torn England.

中文介绍：港台译为鲁益师，地狱来鸿
古典情怀篇
C.S. Lewis家喻户晓的书信体裁小说：《地狱来鸿》(The Screwtape Letters)
1940年，鲁益师(Clive Staples Lewis)在出版《痛苦的奥祕》(The Problem of Pain)一书后不久，有一日他在参加教会午间崇拜时，忽发灵感想以反讽的手法，来带出正面的真理信息。当时英国和整个欧洲都陷在第二次世界大战战火的痛苦中，鲁益师的思绪整理得很快，至1941年2月便完成了全部三十一篇手稿，交英国教会週报《卫报》(The Guardian)，从同年5月2日连载到11月28日止。
三十一封信函是老魔鬼赛诸葛(Screwtape)和牠的姪儿小魔鬼华姆伍德(Wormwood)之间的来往信函，赛诸葛向华姆伍德献计，指示牠如何去设下种种陷阱，去引诱、蛊惑一位刚信主年轻基督徒的信仰。书中二个主角顿时成为英国境内家喻户晓的角色。次年2月结集出版二千本，名为《地狱来鸿》(The Screwtape Letters)，瞬即售罄。至同年年底，《地狱来鸿》一书已再版八次。鲁益师的新着连远在北美洲也是深受大眾欢迎，好评如潮。儘管鲁益师认为本书不值得世人如此喜爱，但它却几乎成了鲁益师的「标记」，销售以百万册计算，十分惊人。
鲁益师笔下的老嫩魔鬼赛诸葛和华姆伍德，都是装扮成光明天使般的大好人，而上帝反成为「不可理諭」的仇敌，手法幽默风趣，引人入胜。书中透过魔鬼两角色的眼睛来看事物，把所有事情都是黑白颠倒、是非扭曲过来，务要引诱、鼓吹人性骄傲、自私和自我中心，最终完成摧毁人类的「好事」。本书内容揭尽普世人性阴暗面，涵盖人生百态，既一针见血又饶有趣味，读来引人深思，令人笑中禁不住含泪。无怪乎此书出版以来，不单受到基督徒欢迎，连非基督徒也欢喜阅读，引作话题。
在纳粹主义澎湃和第二次世界大战的背景下，本书出版面世把鲁益师和他的作品推上世界舞臺。二次大战结束后，《时代杂誌》在1947年9月8日那一期的封面上，把鲁益师的肖像和手持刀叉的魔鬼画像刊登了出来，使他成了几乎是家喻户晓的牛津学者。乳名叫Jack的鲁益师，一直被誉为是「二十世纪最伟大的基督徒作家」，他还写过许多经典作品。
