The Narnia Series by C.S. Lewis
Descent into Hell by Charles Williams
Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court by Mark Twain
Comment: I felt when reading the description of Ransom and of how Jane felt upon meeting him that it was very similar to the way the characters in the Narnia books felt upon meeting Asland. Both seem to leave those who encounter them in a mildly dazed, contemplative and extraordinarily joyful state, and they seem to fear and respect as well as love them.
Question: With all the mention of religion and traditional verses progressive views of humanity, social roles, etc., what was Lewis trying to say about humanity and our present direction, especially in light of the then-recently ended World Wars?
