What this book is about

C.S. Lewis's beloved satirical novel takes the form of letters from Screwtape, a senior demon, to his inexperienced nephew Wormwood, advising him on how to secure the damnation of an ordinary British man. By inverting the moral lens, Lewis illuminates human weakness, self-deception, and spiritual growth with wit, compassion, and penetrating insight.
