The Great Divorce by C. S. Lewis, hand-bound in genuine leather by LeatheredLines. Published in 1945, C. S. Lewis's dream-vision begins in a grey, drizzling town from which a bus carries passengers to the bright outskirts of Heaven. Each is invited to stay, but must let go of the pride, resentment or self-pity that holds them back. Guided by the Scottish writer George MacDonald, the narrator watches their choices in a short, wise and searching fable.
About this leather-bound edition
Our binders work each cover by hand: genuine leather is fitted over firm boards, the spine is lettered in gold-tone foil and finished with traditional decorative detail. Every copy carries the small natural variations that come with real leather and handcraft.
The thickness and weight of the finished book depend on the length of this particular title. Longer works make a noticeably thicker volume, while shorter works are slimmer.
