Quote by C.S. Lewis
“-La caja de la Atlántida contenía algo que había sido traído de Otro Mundo cuando el nuestro apenas empezaba a existir. -¿Qué? -preguntó Digory, que en aquellos momentos se sentía interesado muy a su pesar. -Sólo había polvo -respondió el tío Andrew-. Un fino polvo seco. Nada espectacular en apariencia; no gran cosa como resultado de toda una vida de trabajo, podrías decir. Ah, pero cuando miré aquel polvo -y tuve buen cuidado de no tocarlo-, pensé que cada grano había estado en el pasado en Otro Mundo, y no me refiero a otro planeta, ¿me explico?; porque los demás planetas son parte de nuestro mundo y podrías llegar hasta ellos si viajaras lo bastante lejos, sino realmente Otro Mundo, otra naturaleza, otro universo, un lugar al que jamás podrías llegar aunque viajaras por el espacio de este universo eternamente, un mundo que solo se puede alcanzar mediante la magia, ¡eso es!”

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.
