Publisher Description
Dr. Elwin Ransom never expected a walk in the English countryside to lead to another world.
Abducted by two men with sinister plans, he is transported aboard a spaceship to Malacandra—an alien planet rich in beauty, mystery, and intelligence beyond human comprehension.
But as Ransom escapes his captors and discovers the planet’s peaceful inhabitants and cosmic order, he begins to realize that Earth—known in the heavens as the “silent planet”—is isolated for a reason. Faced with truths that challenge his deepest assumptions, Ransom must choose where his loyalty lies in a universe far grander and stranger than he ever imagined.
The first novel in C.S. Lewis’s acclaimed Space Trilogy, Out of the Silent Planet is a profound and thrilling journey through space, exploring humanity’s place in the cosmos, the nature of evil, and the possibility of redemption.

About C. S. Lewis
Clive Staples Lewis (1898–1963) was one of the intellectual giants of the twentieth century and arguably the most influential Christian writer of his day. He was a fellow and tutor in English literature at Oxford University until 1954, when he was unanimously elected to the chair of Medieval and Renaissance English at Cambridge University, a position he held until his retirement. His major contributions to literary criticism, children’s literature, fantasy literature, and popular theology brought him international renown and acclaim. Lewis wrote more than thirty books, allowing him to reach a vast audience, and his works continue to attract thousands of new readers every year. His most distinguished and popular accomplishments include the Chronicles of Narnia, Out of the Silent Planet, The Four Loves, The Screwtape Letters, and Mere Christianity.
