Quote by C.S. Lewis
“El león abrió las fauces, pero no salió ningún sonido; exhalaba, un largo y cálido aliento, que pareció balancear a todos los animales igual que el viento balancea una hilera de árboles. En las alturas, desde un punto situado más allá del velo de cielo azul que las ocultaba, las estrellas volvieron a cantar; era una música pura, serena e intrincada. Entonces se produjo un veloz fogonazo parecido a una llamarada -que no quemó a nadie- procedente del cielo o del mismo león, los niños sintieron que toda su sangre hormigueaba, y la voz más profunda e impetuosa que habían oído jamás empezó a decir: -Narnia, Narnia, Narnia,despierta. Ama. Piensa. Habla. Sed Árboles Andantes. Sed Bestias Parlantes. Sed Aguas Divinas.”
― C.S. Lewis ,

Clive Staples Lewis was born in Ireland, in Belfast on 29 November 1898. His mother was a devout Christian and made efforts to influence his beliefs. When she died in his early youth her influence waned and Lewis was subject to the musings and mutterings of his friends who were decidedly agnostic and atheistic. It would not be until later, in a moment of clear rationality that he first came to a belief in God and later became a Christian.
C. S. Lewis volunteered for the army in 1917 and was wounded in the trenches in World War I. After the war, he attended university at Oxford. Soon, he found himself on the faculty of Magdalen College where he taught Mediaeval and Renaissance English.
Throughout his academic career he wrote clearly on the topic of religion. His most famous works include the Screwtape Letters and the Chronicles of Narnia. The atmosphere at Oxford and Cambridge tended to skepticism. Lewis used this skepticism as a foil. He intelligently saw Christianity as a necessary fact that could be seen clearly in science.
"Surprised by Joy" is Lewis's autobiography chronicling his reluctant conversion from atheism to Christianity in 1931.
