Additional Information: Till We Have Faces is considered one of C. S. Lewis's most profound works, representing a retelling of the myth of Cupid and Psyche from a fresh perspective. Unlike his other popular books, which often focused on Christian allegory, this work dives deeply into themes of love, identity, and faith through the lens of Greek mythology. This particular first edition is a rare find, especially with provenance from a public library, which may appeal to collectors interested in unique copies with a distinct history. About the Author: C. S. Lewis (1898–1963) was a British writer, theologian, and academic. Known for his Chronicles of Narnia series, Lewis also wrote extensively on Christian apologetics, philosophy, and literature. Till We Have Faces was Lewis's last novel and is often cited as his most ambitious and complex work, showcasing his intellectual depth and fascination with classical mythology and moral philosophy.SEE PHOTOS FOR BEST DESCRIPTION AND GRADING CONDITIONS.Check out Friar Tuck's other Rare Books and Art Manticorelibre.artShippingWe will combine shipping, if requestedOrders are normally shipped 24 - 48 hours from receipt of payment (excluding weekends and public holidays).
