Charles Williams was a friend of C.S. Lewis and shares with him the gift of a remarkable and facile vocabulary, which he uses to tell the story of the residents of Battle Hill. Each character inDescent INTO HELL is stereotypically British. At first, the reader perceives only gentle parody and wonders about the import of the title. But gradually it becomes apparent that each character is actually a metaphor for some aspect of the human condition. Gentle parody becomes paradox, arcane and ominous. Supernatural encounters involve the dead and near dead. At the end, one wonders if the author was describing the supernatural or simply taking us deep into the human psyche. There is condemnation, described with awful effectiveness, but there is also redemption. The Christian message is clear; for some, frighteningly clear. Unabridged. Read by Stewart Spencer. 6 cassettes.
