1971 C. S. LEWIS. The Space Trilogy in Three Early Matching Bodley Head Bindings.

  I'm sure others will disagree, but this is, to our mind, the best production of C. S. Lewis. In these three science fiction allegories he works out his perennial exploration of the question of Platonism [Out of the Silent Planet is a direct riff on Plato's Cave], the presence of God in the fallen world, the problem of evil and suffering, and the accessibility of the divine through materiality. Plus, they're just great, enjoyable, witty reads.  Now increasingly scarce in the original hardcover editions.  Lewis, C. S. Out of the Silent Planet. London. Bodley Head. 1971. Eleventh Impression. Good condition with small stain at head of dustjacket on spine not extending to cloth, slightly faded on cloth at head of binding; binding slightly rounded and cocked. Blank ffep laid to pastedown and attractive bookplate to reverse of title. Small stain on pp. 8 and 29-32. Dust is price clipped and has light chipping that has been neatly repaired. Lewis, C. S.
