|
Product details
Inspired by the C.S. Lewis novel of the same name
1. The Floating Islands
…with hills and valleys, but hills and
valleys which changed places every minute so that only a
cinematograph could make a contour map of it. And that is the
nature of the floating islands of Perelandra. (p34)
2. "Ransom" it said again...
Then all at once it was night. "Ransom ...
Ransom ... Ransom ... Ransom," went on the voice. And suddenly it
crossed his mind though he would some time require sleep, the
Un-man might not. (pp112-113)
3. The Chase
It was a fantastic chase, in and out of the
lights and shadows and up and down the slowly moving ridges and
valleys. They passed the dragon where it slept. They passed the
Lady, sleeping with a smile on her face. The Un-Man stooped low
as it passed her with the fingers... (pp143-144)
4. Inside the Mountain
And the gods kneeled and bowed their huge
bodies before the small forms of that young King and Queen.
(p189)
