The Great Divorce

The Great Divorce is a philosophical and spiritual allegory by C.S. Lewis that explores the nature of Heaven and Hell. It presents a fictional journey where souls from a gray, dreary city (representing Hell or a state of spiritual separation) visit a vibrant, beautiful landscape (symbolizing Heaven). The story highlights how choices, attachments, and selfishness prevent individuals from embracing divine truth and love. Ultimately, it emphasizes personal responsibility in spiritual transformation, suggesting that salvation requires willingness to surrender earthly desires and accept divine grace to attain eternal happiness.
