That Hideous Strength: A Modern Fairy-Tale for Grown-Ups Audiobook (Free)

This is actually the final book of C. S. Lewis’ acclaimed Ransom Trilogy, which include From the Silent World and Perelandra. A vintage work of dream as much for the wonder of its storytelling for its insights in to the human being condition, the trilogy phases an epic battle between causes of light and darkness across a canvas of other worlds.

FOR THE REASON THAT Hideous Strength, the fearless philologist Dr. Ransom (modeled after Lewis’ friend J. R. R. Tolkien) discovers himself in a world of excellent alien beings and scientific experiments run amok. There is a rumor the effective wizard Merlin offers came back to the globe of the living, and a sinister technocratic corporation plans to use his power within their story to “recondition” culture. Ransom’s combat for moral wisdom in a fearless new universe dominated by science is a search filled with intrigue and suspense.
