Translation. Transmutation. Transformation. These concepts resonate throughout the contrasting worlds inhabited by the brilliant writer C.S. Lewis, a professor of English at Oxford University and author of insightful texts on philosophy and Christianity who created the childlike fantasy land of Narnia, in his Chronicles of Narnia.

11 images About Shadowlands - The Unlikely Love Story of C.S. Lewis & Joy Davidman:
Shadowlands follows the unlikely and true love story of renowned Oxford scholar and Christian apologist C.S. Lewis and the much younger Joy Davidman, a Jewish-American writer, former Communist and Christian convert. The smart, brash Davidman bursts into Lewis' sedate, middle-aged life and upends it. Lewis is as shocked as anyone to discover that he and Davidman have fallen deeply in love – and then almost immediately he must contend with the equally deep pain of losing her when she is diagnosed with terminal cancer. The play is a moving portrait of love and loss, faith and doubt, as inspired by Lewis' own A Grief Observed.
