The Space Trilogy | C.S. Lewis | Into the Wardrobe

[@shastasilverchairsg]

Wow. This plot got me really excited, particularky the part about how the Lucifer-equivalent guardian angel over Planet Earth rebelled, causing Earth to be the silent planet and odd one out amongst the rest of the compliant, God-aligned cosmos. It's really doing Science Fiction in an original (Christianesque) way that is very different from today's secular Sci Fi. I never thought it was possible to merge Christianity and sci-fi, due to our modern secularity brought about by science. Update: Just finished reading it, it was rad. I particularly loved the contrast between mankind and Malacandrian society, and how the Oyasa of Earth twisted all the laws in humans' minds until they were afraid of death. It really reminds me of Sauron and how he made the Numenoreans fear the Gift of Men (death) and start to see it as a curse instead, leading to Ar-Pharazon and the Akallabêth.

[@ed056]

The faith -vs- science thing is an atheist construct don't fall for the trap. Viewed in the proper perspective they complement each other. Modern "science" often abuses statistical analysis to achieve a specific goal ignoring exceptions. Anyone pointing out the exceptions is "anti-science". True science highlights exceptions and corrects the theory to explain them. “Faith and reason are like two wings on which the human spirit rises to the contemplation of truth; and God has placed in the human heart a desire to know the truth- in a word, to know himself- so that, by knowing and loving God, men and women may also come to the fullness of truth about themselves.” ― Pope John Paul II (Karol Wojtyła), Fides et Ratio: On the Relationship Between Faith and Reason

[@christianali5431]

Only through Christ were we as a society even able to discover modern science. Jesus taught us to love our neighbour, and in loving our neighbours we listened to them, and were then able to create more together than we ever could have apart. Our modern secularity simply stems from the primal, almost childlike, and extremely immature desire to have no one tell us what to.do. we hate being commanded. We always home, and we always will. Therefore, it's easier to just believe that god and his commandments do not exist, and just to live life without them.

[@IntotheWardrobe]

Thanks for updating! Great to hear your thoughts!

[@e.m.p.3394]

I really disagree on how Christianity and science cannot work together. Many early scientists were Christians. Just because the people who do the main studies on space are secular it doesn't mean that people cannot believe in both.

The descriptions of the seas, oceans, and islands in Perelandra is unequalled in literature. Trust me.

[@milliesecond102]

AGREED!!! I visualized every detail of Perelandra! I imagined the floating and undulating islands like untethered rafts covered in flora, with creatures and microclimate of their own. The colors of the sky and water is also fresh in my mind even though it's been years since I read that particular book. I have wished for years that the Trilogy would be produced for large screen movies. I would just hate for the Trilogy to be poorly made like so many hokey Christian movies though.

[@ElysianParallel]

The Space Trilogy is probably the most unique science fiction series ever written! It doesn’t need all the machines, aliens, and sci-fi tropes to be great, it just shines as its own special piece of writing. This was a great summery IntoTheWardrobe, I hope there is more to come!

[@ucjaromanczyk5623]

Absolutely! When I first-time heard about Cosmos Trilogy written by my spiritual leader C.S. Lewis I wanted to read it immediately! Until I wait...time after time(Waiting is the biggest nightmare of my life, that is why I don't like my first name, Anna. I hate to wait! Especially for demise and getting older and older! It's dreadful!). Sorry I have to write this. Thanks to doing it I feel venial. Anyways, back to the Cosmos Trilogy after the same one lady gave me a copy of this Masterpiece in one giant book. Now I read already The Silent Planet and Perelandra and I' m totally imprest by these two parts and I slowly digging into the third part of it. When I started reading the first time of That Hideous Strength I felt a little bit, strange and disappointed. But I hope it was just the wrong fist effect so I don't be judge this part until I read it to finally the end. I'm sure it can be surprise me and not for a one time! Just like Lewis, Tolkien and their wise followers like to do and that's incredible! I'm so so so so... much appreciated for leadeth this channel and doing that episode!!!!

[@elainechubb971]

Till We Have Faces is my favorite novel by Lewis. It is unfortunately rather overlooked.

[@ThundersonMusic]

My favorite first impression when I read the Space Trilogy as a kid was the realization that the Philosopher beats the pragmatic Scientist every time. As I grew up and learned more about quantum physics, this was confirmed. You must first recognize that CS Lewis wrote about space travel before we went to the moon. So he writes about the pervasive sunlight that is so bright it pierces the walls of a space craft. We visit space and the first impression of the scientists is that space is cold and dark. And afterwards we recognize that even though it is not visible, the astronauts are exposed to tremendous amounts of solar radiation outside our atmosphere and protective ozone. So... CS Lewis was right. Just not by first observance. The Philosopher beat the Scientist before - he had the chance to know for certain. Since Lewis died the same day as JFK, he found out how right he was in Aslan's country. ;)

Aldous Huxley (Brave New World) also died the same day. Thankless day for those writing literary obituaries that nobody would bother to read.

I'm very glad that you're covering The Space Trilogy! I feel the most unique thing about it is that it's sci-fi but written with a Ptolomaic template, instead of a Newtonian one - Lewis was probably the last person in the history of mankind that took seriously the Ptolomaic medieval model of cosmology and following this model, he wrote a sci-fi work that's different from everything that we have today (that follow a Newtonian and, more recently, Einsteinian cosmology).

[@Unomonoloco]

I think what's really hard about The Ransom trilogy is that, for the most part, the writing is written in a higher form. It is incredible, but I can definitely say that i dont fully understand it still on certain moments, even though the story is incredibly compelling.

What a wonderful surprise!!! I love the first 2 books if the Trilogy! I can't get past the first few chapters of Hideous Strength but I have movie ideas for Perelandra - down to the theme song, movie score, and the graphics for the credits! C.S. Lewis is such a gifted writer that I visualized every written detail of the book, like the moving islands (described like untetheted rafts), the first woman, creatures, the cave setting, and the rest. I wish there were investors to produce the Trilogy as it deserves to be shown to a new generation of thinking young people. Lewis' books have timeless lessons, but the Trilogy was WAY ahead of its time!!! I would love to contribute my ideas for a large screen production! Thanks for introducing Narnia fans to the next level of Lewis' stories.❤️❤️❤️

Perilandra particularly, I remember reading at an incredibly aweful time in my life as a teenager, just when I needed a world of beauty where mindless, soulless evil could indeed be defeated. I even on several occasions literally dreamed! of what the worlds of Mercury and Jupiter would be like if given Lewis's landscapes, that's how profoundly this trilogy affected me.

[@majkus]

One of Lewis's cleverest bits of writing is when Weston gives his speech to the Oyarsa, and Ransom must translate it because Weston (thinking the Malacandrans mere primitives) did not deign to learn the language. It's a bit of a heavy-handed hatchet job-this is Lewis, after all-but it's still brilliantly written. Weston gives a cliché-ridden speech (he even looks around for a chair to sink into when he is finished, a typically Lewis psychological touch). Ransom then repeats it in Old Solar for Oyarsa, which we read as English, but a kind of simplified English that strives to convey meaning rather than rhetorical devices. When Weston, explaining why humans must pitilessly colonize the universe says, "Life is greater than any system of morality," Ransom tries, "He says that living creatures are stronger than the question whether an act is bent [the unfallen Malacandrans have no word for 'evil'] or good-no, that cannot be right-he says it is better to be alive and bent than to be dead-no-he says, he says-I cannot say what he says, Oyarsa, in your language'. I do not think there is anything like it elsewhere in literature.

[@IntotheWardrobe]

[@Esmeralda.Pendragon]

Tolkien and Lewis differentiated themselves from other authors by creating sagas different from the others. Because they were based on the spirituality of faith, and on rooted moral values ​​that tempered the character of the protagonist. Making him a full-fledged hero.

I listened to a free audiobook version (this was available via KZbin) and Oh boy I was not ready for what I encountered. After going from the magical lands of Narnia I wasn't ready for the heavy theological space fantasy series. Especially the last book which felt like Lewis took a swing at 1984 in his style. Good books don't think I could manage them again with how heavy they are. And very glad to see some one talk about them as its what I craved after listen/ reading them.

[@majkus]

Lewis was in some ways imitative, and That Hideous Strength was stylistically very much influenced by the urban fantasy novels of his friend and fellow Inkling, Charles Williams. You might well want to look into some of them. "War in Heaven" is his first and perhaps most straightforward; "The Greater Trumps" is about Tarot cards and while a bit obscure towards the end, has some unforgettable visual imagery; and "Descent Into Hell" is a psychological story involving a succubus, the spirits of the dead, and redemption by the active power of Love (to simplify matters greatly).

I’ll definitely give this trilogy a read

[@myratogonon]

I love this trilogy especially Perelandra

[@annaroselarsen4218]

Man the new video sounds so good I'm a big Jrr tolkien fan and newbie to CS Lewis

[@aaronbaron3155]

Love these books I just finished the audios for all three recently.

[@heartofahalfling3142]

Perlandra was my introduction into science fantasy and it is crazy how this trilogy is less known bc it is a great series

[@Bezanie]

Wow! I never knew about this series! I really wanna read those books!

[@arieljr.caldit5608]

Time to read this soon!

The summer has only started

[@paulduffy4585]

My best friend loved this trilogy. I really must read it.

[@Shatter149]

dang, a story about space angels? that would be an awesome movie.

[@mizzuzie3338]

I tried to read the first one of these after I finished reading The last battle and craving more too. I never got through it but I maybe should give the series a new chance? I was 8 or 9 then and I'm 49 now with other perspectives....

[@isaiahoconnor8236]

Ransom is Tolkien:) and I really need to re read the series it's been since I was only 17 years old, I am now almost 44 and understand Lewis, Tolkien and philosophy so much better I think il understand it so much better now :)

[@ed056]

I read them even before the Narnia series. The first clue to the link between them is Aslan stating the "he has other names".

[@wvngamer1516]

Great video!

[@alfredvickers4054]

Another interesting coincidence. Last year I reread Narnia for the 1st time in ~20 years and happened to finish on the anniversary of the series, which I found out about because of one of your videos. This year I happen to be in the middle of rereading the Ransom trilogy for the first time in over 10 years when you uploaded this video. Weird.

[@IntotheWardrobe]

That's amazing!

[@alfredvickers4054]

@@IntotheWardrobe Related to you mentioning your theory of Tolkien, Ransom, and Narnia being connected, years ago I thought of that possibility, mainly due to Atlantis being mentioned in Magician's Nephew and the Numenor stuff mentioned in That Hideous Strength. But when I reread the Narnia series this time, I realized there were a lot more possible points of connection. So a merely fun idea became a rock solid certainty in my mind. Can't wait for that video!

[@IntotheWardrobe]

@@alfredvickers4054 I'd love to hear your ideas, and credit you in the video. If you are willing, email me at narnialore @ gmail.com!

[@antonieverheijen9081]

I can’t seem to find your video on the theory connecting Narnia, Tolkien and this space trilogy? Where can I find it? Great work by the way! Keep it up!

[@JoeKawano]

Promise of Ransomnarniarda Unified Field Theory?! Got it-Subscribed!

[@IntotheWardrobe]

"Ransommarniarda"... incredible! Can I use this? I'll credit you!

[@JoeKawano]

@@IntotheWardrobe Sure! I did almost say Ransomardanarnia, but it didn’t roll of the tongue. Looks like you changed it to Ransomarniarda!

[@gerrimilner9448]

[@OSleeperTactical]

Bravo, good work. Love the ransom trilogy. Will you doba video about till we have faces at some point?
