Autant j'avais été séduit par les Chroniques Narnia, autant cette trilogie cosmique m'est pénible. Il s'agit de science-fiction méditative et très descriptive qui nécessite une attention particulière de la part du lecteur. Lewis, on le sent bien à travers ces récits, a toujours une volonté d'apologétiste. Cela ne me gêne aucunement mais il faut le savoir ! A noter dans cette édition que la typographie est serrée et cela n'est pas terrible en termes de confort de lecture. Les éditions de l'Age d'Homme m'avait habitué à mieux. ( )

[Out of the Silent Planet: Note] Certain slighting references to earlier stories of this type which well be found in the following pages have been put there for purely dramatic purposes.
[Out of the Silent Planet] The last drops of the thundershower had hardly ceased falling when the Pedestrian stuffed his map into his pocket, settled hi pack more comfortably on his tired shoulders, and stepped out from the shelter of a large chestnut-tree into the middle of the road.
[Perelandra: Preface] This story can be read by itself but is also a sequel to 'OUt of the Silent Planet' in which some account was given of Ransom's adventures in Mars--or, as its inhabitants call it, 'Malacandra'.
[Perelandra] As I left the railway station at Worchester and set out on the three-mile walk to Ransom's cottage, I reflected that no one on that platform could possibly guess the truth about the man I was going to visit.
[That Hideous Strength: Preface] I have called this a fairy-tail in the hope that no one who dislikes fantasy may be misled by the first two chapters into reading further, and then complain of his disappointment.
[That Hideous Strength] "Matrimony was ordained, thirdly," said Jane Studdock to herself, "for the mutual society, help, and comfort that the one ought to have of the other."

[Out of the Silent Planet] Now that "Weston" has shut the door the way to the planes likes through the past; if there is to be any more space-travelling, it will have to be time-travelling as well . . !
