C. S. Lewis's The Great Divorce is a powerful allegorical tale that explores the eternal choices between heaven and hell, selflessness and selfishness, grace and pride. First published in 1945, the novel presents a fantastical journey in which a group of souls takes a bus ride from a bleak, joyless city — representing hell or purgatory — to the outer edges of heaven, where they are offered a chance at redemption. Through vivid imagery, imaginative landscapes, and a series of profound dialogues, Lewis dramatizes the spiritual struggles that define the human condition. Each passenger must confront what holds them back — pride, resentment, fear, or false love — and decide whether they will let go of their earthly attachments in exchange for eternal joy. Written with Lewis's signature clarity, wisdom, and creativity, The Great Divorce is more than a theological exploration — it is a deeply personal reflection on choice, freedom, and the transformative power of divine grace. Inspiring and thought-provoking, it remains one of Lewis's most beloved and enduring works of Christian imagination.
