Millions of readers have been captivated by C. S. Lewis's famed
Chronicles of Narnia, but why? What is it about these seven books
that makes them so appealing? For more than half a century,
scholars have attempted to find the organizing key--the "secret
code"--to the beloved series, but it has remained a mystery. Until
now. In "The Narnia Code," Michael Ward takes the reader through
each of the seven Narnia books and reveals how each story embodies
and expresses the characteristics of one of the seven planets of
medieval cosmology--Jupiter, Mars, Sol, Luna, Mercury, Venus and
Saturn--planets which Lewis described as "spiritual symbols of
permanent value." How does medieval cosmology relate to the
Christian underpinnings of the series? How did it impact Lewis's
depiction of Aslan, the Christlike character at the heart of the
books? And why did Lewis keep this planetary inspiration a secret?
Originally a ground-breaking scholarly work called "Planet Narnia,"
this more accessible adaptation will answer all the questions.
