 | | Perelandra (also titled Voyage to Venus in a later edition published by Pan Books) is the second book in the Space Trilogy (additional info and facts about Space Trilogy) of C. | | | To an extent, it can be viewed as a commentary on Milton's (English poet; remembered primarily as the author of an epic poem describing humanity's fall from grace (1608-1674)) poem but a commentary which is intelligible to a reader ignorant of the original. | | | Lewis (English critic and novelist; author of theological works and of books for children (1898-1963)). |

| | Perelandra is full of satanic attacks and arguments about how to live life, and more specifically, the idea that you should live life by your rules, not God's. | | | Perelandra, unlike Adam and Eve's Paradise, retains its innocence, with only the knowledge that evil exists and may be lurking in the darkness. | | | Perelandra, unlike Paradise Lost, shows that it was an unnessacary tragedy that we are now fallen creatures, and it is through essential goodness that Satan's attempts at evil can be conquered. |

| | Literary Encyclopedia: Perelandra |
| | Rather than rely on their own securities, the King and Queen of Perelandra were to rely on a sovereign and gracious God; in Perelandrian terms it is called “throwing oneself into the waves”. | | | In Perelandra Ransom is taken to Venus (Perelandra) not in a space ship but in a coffin-like container which whisks him off by supernatural power. | | | Christ gave himself as a sacrifice to rescue humankind: “He whom the other worlds call Maleldil, was the world's ransom, his own ransom, well he knew”. |

| | Perelandra |
| | Lewis's "Perelandra'' meant Venus, planet of perfection, and he used the conflict between two earthlings, one representing good, the other evil, to illustrate how the balance between the two is the real source of true perfection, the harmony of the whole. | | | The history of Perelandra is really the history of Machaelle and Clarence. | | | Because of this decision of hers, Perelandra has become a sanauary for life and healing. |

| | Perelandra (Venus) is a world unspoiled - it's an other-wordly place of beauty and perfection. | | | It is here that he meets the Green Lady, a native of Perelandra, and as they dialogue the scene brought to mind is that of an Eden, with it's own Eve. | | | Separated from the King, her male counterpart, The Green Lady is left with Ransom and Weston, and so begins a fascinating conversation in which Weston attempts to corrupt some-one who has never known such corruption. |

| | Weston is a particularly hateful character from early on in }{\i Perelandra}{ as one devoted to spreading sin to other worlds (81), a manipulating utilitarian (89), an inverter of good and evil (94), one beyond moral struggle (111), a persistent deceiver (116), and a treacherous, sadistic, and inhumane soul (129). | | | And this time it is }{\i Lewis}{ using a character as a tool\emdash as Augustine\rquote s God does with Satan\emdash to inadvertently do his bidding; it is none other than the perfidious Weston. | | | Lewis even goes on to heighten these majestic and regal qualities in Perelandra\rquote s King and Queen, with beauty, radiance, and virtue emanating from their bodies and \'93gods\'94 and mortals alike bowing prostrate before them (204-5). |

| | C.S. Lewis' Perelandra is not really science fiction but more of a fairy tale for grown-ups. | | | Perelandra is the best book in Lewis' "Space Trilogy" and can be read on its own, though Out of the Silent Planet and That Hideous Strength are still very much worthwhile. | | | And a literal planet of love it is. Since love has its own innocence (which includes ignorance, unfortunately) it is a ripe target for the "Bent Eldil" (i.e., Satan) who has already corrupted Thulcandra (as Earth was named before the Fall). |

| | notes on Perelandra |
| | Published in 1943, Perelandra is certainly based on the studies Lewis did between 1939 and 1941 for a series of lectures on Milton's Paradise Lost (these lectures were later published as A Preface to Paradise Lost). | | | According to Green and Hooper, Perelandra "is Lewis's supreme imaginative triumph in the creation of another world so vivid that any other picture of Venus becomes preposterous" (170). | | | In PL Milton deals with a number of the same issues presented in Perelandra, most notably Book IX and the temptation of Eve. |

| | Perelandra |
| | It is different because elsewhere in the universe, Good is the natural, understandable thing, while Earth itself is "shadowed" as L'Engle called it, a "silent planet" as Lewis did -- here on Earth, there are evil people, and goodness is not obvious at all. | | | The book includes a brilliant, challenging discussion on the question of good and evil set in on a most original background, presented as a direct contest between the Beast and our hero, Dr. Ransom. | | | The physicist which presents the snake in this story is Dr. Weston, familiar to the readers of Out of the Silent Planet. |

| | A powerful, discriminating and poetic mind, great learning, startling wit, an overwhelming imagination. | | | Perelandra is a planet of pleasure-an unearthly, misty world of strange desires, sweet smells and delicious tastes, where beasts are friendly and naked beauty is unashamed, a new Garden of Eden-where the story of the oldest temptation is enacted in an intriguingly new way. | | | Here, in the second part of the trilogy, Dr. Ransom's adventures continue against the backdrop of a religious allegory that, while it may seem quaint in its treatment of women today, nonetheless shows the capability of science to be an evil force tempting a ruler away from the path that has produced a paradisiac kingdom. |
