The World's Last Night

C. S. Lewis explores the temptation of evil through seven satirical yet poignant essays, inviting readers to reflect on their actions in a world facing its final moments. He emphasizes that we are active participants in life, rather than mere observers. The essays feature the infamous Screwtape, who offers a toast on the manipulation of evil, while Lewis employs irony, humor, and paradox to address profound questions about immorality, belief, and the significance of prayer.
