Synopsis "La Imagen Descartada (in Spanish)"

C. S. Lewis's The Discarded Image paints a lucid picture of the medieval world view, as historical and cultural background to the literature of the middle ages and the renaissance. It describes the 'image' discarded by later ages as 'the medieval synthesis itself, the whole organization of their theology, science and history into a single, complex, harmonious mental model of the universe'. This, Lewis's last book was hailed as 'the final memorial to the work of a great scholar and teacher and a wise and noble mind'. The Discarded Image, de C. S. Lewis, presenta una imagen lúcida de la cosmovisión medieval, como trasfondo histórico y cultural de la literatura de la Edad Media y el Renacimiento. Describe la "imagen" descartada por edades posteriores como "la síntesis medieval en sí misma, la organización completa de su teología, ciencia e historia en un modelo mental único, complejo y armonioso del universo". Este, el último libro de Lewis, fue aclamado como "el monumento final al trabajo de un gran erudito y maestro y una mente sabia y noble".

Clive Staples Lewis was a critic, academic, and English novelist, considered one of the finest writers of children's and young adult literature in English. A friend and colleague of Tolkien, both had a sharp intellect, a solid education, and a passion for Norse mythology that would mark their major works: the Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings, in Tolkien, and The Chronicles of Narnia (1950), in CS Lewis. With Narnia, a fantastic and allegorical work about the eternal struggle between good and evil, Lewis inaugurated a genre that would make him a founder and an essential reference in current fantasy narrative.
