Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Narnia . . . the land between the lamp-post and the castle of Cair Paravel, where animals talk, where magical things happen . . . and where the adventure begins. Peter, Susan Edmund and Lucy are returning to boarding school when they are summoned from the dreary train station (by Susan's own magic horn) to return to the land of Narnia — the land where they had ruled as kings and queens and where their help is desperately needed.

Synopsis:

A prince fights for his crown

Narnia ... where animals talk ... where trees walk ... where a battle is about to begin.

A prince denied his rightful throne gathers an army in a desperate attempt to rid his land of a false king. But in the end, it is a battle of honor between two men alone that will decide the fate of an entire world.

Synopsis:

The four Pevensies help Caspian battle Miraz and ascend his rightful throne.

About the Author

Clive Staples Lewis, known as Jack to his friends, was born in 1898. Lewis and his good friend J. R. R. Tolkien, the author of the Lord of the Rings trilogy, were part of the Inklings, an informal writers' club that met at a local pub to discuss story ideas. Lewis's fascination with fairy tales, myths and ancient legends, coupled with inspiration drawn from his childhood, led him to write The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, one of the best-loved books of all time. Six further books followed to become the immensely popular Chronicles of Narnia. The final title in the series, The Last Battle, was awarded the Carnegie Medal, one of the highest marks of excellence in children's literature.

Clive Staples Lewis (1898-1963) fue uno de los intelectuales más importantes del siglo veinte y podría decirse que fue el escritor cristiano más influyente de su tiempo. Fue profesor particular de literatura inglesa y miembro de la junta de gobierno en la Universidad Oxford hasta 1954, cuando fue nombrado profesor de literatura medieval y renacentista en la Universidad Cambridge, cargo que desempeñó hasta que se jubiló. Sus contribuciones a la crítica literaria, literatura infantil, literatura fantástica y teología popular le trajeron fama y aclamación a nivel internacional. C. S. Lewis escribió más de treinta libros, lo cual le permitió alcanzar una enorme audiencia, y sus obras aún atraen a miles de nuevos lectores cada año. Sus más distinguidas y populares obras incluyen Las Crónicas de Narnia, Los Cuatro Amores, Cartas del Diablo a Su Sobrino y Mero Cristianismo.

This book is a fantastic way of re-entering Narnia after "The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe." The dramatic capture of Narnia by the wicked Telmarines sets the stage for this inspiring adventure. Caspian is young, and therefore most children relate to him. Those most likely to relate are homeless children, children from abusive homes, and children of divorced/deceased parents, because Caspian's father is deceased and his Aunt and Uncle are raising him, and soon after the beginning he must live life on his own. The book also gives a strong sense of the difference between right and wrong. You feel this from the great reverence given to Aslan, who represents the way of truth, and the deep evil and hatred given to King Miraz, who portrays exactly that.

The book does well in the fact that it reintroduces the four Pevensie children as children again, and as them being the long sought after aid. This helps children relate even more because it tells them that kids their age can change not only our world, but a world totally different from ours. Of course, in "The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe," Aslan declared them as Kings and Queens in Narnia forever, saying, "Once a king or queen in Narnia, always a king or queen in Narnia." So they are returning as royalty; but nothing is the same. This time difference sparks the interest immediately, making a person wonder if there really could be other worlds if time travelled differently.

The battles are epic, and the ending is dramatic and glorious, as well as happy (and slightly sad). I would say that this book is a first-class book and should be read by anyone who loves fiction.
