A moral conflict on the second world of Lewis’s Space Trilogy

In the second volume of C. S. Lewis’s Space Trilogy, Dr. Ransom travels to Perelandra, identified in the description as Venus, to confront an evil force threatening its peaceful civilization. The danger is more than a direct attack: the outsider seeks to impose a new world order and destroy an older society. The premise brings science-fiction adventure together with questions of power, moral choice, and the preservation of a way of life. The book follows Out of the Silent Planet, whose characters and world provide part of the background, while also presenting a distinct struggle centered on Perelandra.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Readers interested in classic science fiction with an adventure premise.
  • Readers who want to follow the middle installment of Lewis’s Space Trilogy.
  • Readers drawn to stories that connect an otherworldly setting with moral conflict.

Book overview

The intrepid professor Dr. Ransom must take on an evil force to save a utopian planet in Perelandra, the second book in C.S. Lewis's classic science fiction Space Trilogy, which also includes Out of the Silent Planet and That Hideous Strength.In Perelandra, Dr. Ransom is recruited by the denizens of Malacandra, befriended in Out of the Silent Planet, to rescue the peace-loving planet Perelandra (Venus) from a terrible threat: a malevolent being from another world who strives to create a new world order, and who must destroy an old and beautiful civilization to do so. Written during the dark hours immediately before and during World War II, C.S. Lewis's Space Trilogy, of which Perelandra is the second volume, stands alongside such works as Albert Camus's The Plague and George Orwell's 1984 as a timeless classic, beloved by succeeding generations as much for the sheer wonder of its storytelling as for the significance of its moral concerns.
