ISBN: 9781611494327 / Angielski / Twarda / 310 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. "Nearly every major figure of his era," writes his biographer Adrian Frazier, "worked with Moore, tangled with Moore, took his impression from, or left it on, George Moore."

Błądzenie pielgrzyma BR

C. S. Lewis, fragment przedmowy: Książka "Błądzenie pielgrzyma", napisana w roku nawrócenia pisarza, jest jego autobiografią. C. S. Lewis przemawia w niej ze zwięzłością, dzięki której przekazuje swoją oryginalną myśl, bez potrzeby przeprowadzania pełnego wykładu z dziedziny filozofii religii. Jest to mądra i dogłębna książką; być może najbardziej wojowniczy utwór tego autora poświęcony problematyce chrześcijańskiej. Dałem się zwieść każdej fałszywej odpowiedzi, każdą z nich gruntownie zbadałem, by odkryć zawarty niej fałsz.
