Lewis again employs his formidable talent for fable and allegory. The writer, in a dream, finds himself in a bus which travels between Hell and Heaven. This is the starting point for an extraordinary meditation upon good and evil which takes issue with William Blake's The Marriage of Heaven and Hell. In Lewis's own words, ?If we insist on keeping Hell (or even earth) we shall not see Heaven: if we accept Heaven we shall not be able to retain even the smallest and most intimate souvenirs of Hell.? |

Este es el punto de partida para la profunda meditaci n sobre el bien y el mal. Un fant stico viaje entre el Cielo y el Infierno En El Gran Divorcio, C. S. Lewis de nuevo utiliza su formidable talento para contar f bulas y alegor as. En un sue o, el escritor se sube a un autob s una tarde lloviznosa y se embarca en un incre ble viaje por el Cielo y el Infierno. Este es el punto de partida para la profunda meditaci n sobre el bien y el mal. Si insistimos en quedarnos con el Infierno (o incluso la Tierra) no veremos el Cielo: si aceptamos al Cielo no podremos quedarnos ni siquiera con el m s peque o e ntimo souvenir del Infierno.
