A stirring group biography of the Inklings, the Oxford writing team offering J. R. R. Tolkien and C. S. Lewis. C. S. Lewis is the 20th century's most generally read Christian writer and J. R. R. Tolkien its most favorite mythmaker. For three decades they and their closest affiliates shaped a literary team known as the Inklings, which achieved every week in Lewis' Oxford rooms and a close by pub. They read aloud from works in progress, argued about anything that caught their nice, and gave one another invaluable companionship, inspiration, and criticism. In The Fellowship, Philip and Carol Zaleski offer the first complete rendering of the Inklings' lives and works. Lewis maps the middle ages mind, accepts Christ while operating in the sidecar of his brother's bike, becomes a world-famous evangelist and moral satirist, and creates new kinds of religiously attuned fiction while wrestling with personal crises. Tolkien transmutes an invented mythology into a breathtaking history in The Lord of the Rings while doing groundbreaking Old English scholarship and elucidating the Catholic teachings in the centre of his perspective. This amazing group biography also focuses on Charles Williams, peculiar acolyte of Intimate love, and Owen Barfield, an esoteric philosopher who became, for a while, Saul Bellow's master. Romantics who scorned rebellion, fantasists who valued sanity, Christians with cosmic reach, the Inklings looked for to revitalize literature and trust in the 20th century's darkest years - and have so.
