<br/><br/> "In 1962, The Christian Century published C.S. Lewis's answer to the question, "What books did most to shape your vocational attitude and your philosophy of life?" Lewis responded with ten titles, ranging from Virgil's Aeneid to James Boswell's The Life of Samuel Johnson and from George Herbert's The Temple to Boethius's The Consolation of Philosophy. C.S. Lewis's List brings together experts on each of the ten books to discuss their significance for Lewis's life and work, illuminating his own writing through those he most admired"--  "Explores the significance of the ten books C.S. Lewis said influenced him most from the perspectives of both his personal life and written works"--
