Oh, the wisdom and insight of Mr Lewis. It's been a while since I read this - a great reminder of the ways of "the world".

This was one of my favorite Lewis Essays. It explains a lot about the so-called "In-Groups" in school, especially middle and high school. I understood the dynamic a lot better after reading the article and then hearing it here.

Had I not listened to Lewis’s word herein first, I will admit, that I too would have fallen by temptation into a jealousy to have been part of the elite Inner Circle of those that commented first. 😂

In the closing comments on his poem All the Kingdoms of the World, Malcolm Guite pointed to your essay The Inner Ring . His poem appears in his collection of poems for Lent and Easter titled The Word in the Wilderness on the First Friday of Lent . thx, kev

When i found out what the inklings were, i thought that i would've loved the chance to be a fly on the wall of one of those meetings.
After listening to this, I am wondering if that desire will turn me into a scoundrel ? 😮🙃😂

When I think of Ents, I hear a voice similar to this man man's narration. Strong.

Now, Magdalene College, Oxford proudly displays its CS Lewis memorial for all to see. Never mind that they chased him away to Cambridge..🍁

This reminds me of That Hideous Strength, specifically Mark Studdock.

Spoken by one who has first hand experience as an outsider. Lewis was shunned by the Oxford inner ring, later when he became famous I’m guessing he had other battles dealing with pride and self. I appreciate his depth of perception into the human condition. Is this an excerpt from one of his books?

If I may I ask, are you, the publisher of this site, also the narrator of the Lewis books and essays?

If you are not, could you give us a link to the narrator 's site?

I greatly enjoy listening to C.S. Lewis, particularly when read by this particular narrator.

Alternative title 'how not to be a scoundrel'

I recognize the narrator's voice from the game, 'Dragon Age, Inquisition'.

[johnjon]

Ha, I'm the first to comment and am doing it before listening so as to be first! Perhaps I shall later edit or not - who can say, perhaps the "virus not from a lab" will get me first? Who can say. But what I can say is this is the first comment!

Lewis did not hold back on his distain for the craftsmen 🙌🏻

[bobtaylor]

I know it's not the fault of the person who does this channel, but the narrator is terrible. Lewis' voice, which you may be able to find recordings of online, was manly and robust. This guy sounds anemic and effete, and is hard to listen to. Very hard, close to impossible, but Lewis' brilliance is overwhelming my desire to go elsewhere. For the moment.
