TILL WE HAVE FACES (Cupid & Psyche – The Story Behind the Myth)

In C.S. Lewis' Till We Have Faces (Cupid & Psyche – The Story Behind the Myth), readers are transported to a world where ancient myths blend seamlessly with philosophical introspection. The narrative follows the story of the mythical lovers Cupid and Psyche, but with a deeper exploration of themes such as jealousy, self-discovery, and the nature of love. Lewis' writing style is both poetic and profound, with vivid imagery that brings the ancient tale to life in a new and thought-provoking way. The book challenges readers to look beyond the surface of familiar myths and delve into the timeless truths they hold. Till We Have Faces can be compared to other works of allegorical fiction such as Lewis' own Chronicles of Narnia series, but with a more mature and philosophical tone. It is a must-read for anyone interested in mythology, philosophy, or simply a well-crafted story that will stay with them long after the final page has been turned.
