About the Author:
Clive Staples Lewis (29 November 1898 – 22 November 1963) was a British writer and lay theologian. He held academic positions in English literature at both Oxford University (Magdalen College, 1925–1954) and Cambridge University (Magdalene College, 1954–1963). He is best known for his works of fiction, especially The Screwtape Letters, The Chronicles of Narnia, and The Space Trilogy, and for his non-fiction Christian apologetics, such as Mere Christianity, Miracles, and The Problem of Pain.
Lewis wrote more than 30 books which have been translated into more than 30 languages and have sold millions of copies. The books that make up The Chronicles of Narnia have sold the most and have been popularised on stage, TV, radio, and cinema. His philosophical writings are widely cited by Christian apologists from many denominations.
Croatian Summary:
Knjiga Četiri ljubavi poznatoga engleskog pisca C. S. Lewisa, hrvatskim čitateljima već poznata po uspjenicama Pisma starijega đavla mlađem,Krćanstvo nije iluzija i Velika rastava, na izniman način progovara o ljubavi. Četiri ljubavi prikazuje četiri vrste ljudske ljubavi: storge - privrenost, philia - prijateljstvo, eros - zaljubljenost i agape - karitas ili milosrdnu ljubav. Ova je knjiga mudro, njeno i iskreno razmiljanje o vrlinama i izazovima ljubavi, a u sebi sabire bogatstvo sadraja i izvora od Biblije i svetoga Augustina pa sve do Jane Austin. Poglavlje o milosrdnoj ljubavi moda je i najbolja stvar koju je Lewis ikada napisao o krćanstvu. Njegov opis krćanstva ovdje nije nita manje snaan i uvjerljiv nego u knjizi Krćanstvo nije iluzija ili Problem boli, ali je u knjizi Četiri ljubavi daleko manje zabrinut za čitateljev odgovor i zbog toga daleko uvjerljiviji nego u bilo kojoj od svojih apologetika. Četiri ljubavi knjiga je koja istrauje prirodu ljubavi te će biti na korist svima koji je uzmu u ruke zbog snanih i poticajnih razmiljanja o jednoj od najutjecajnijih emocija u čovjekovu životu.
English Summary:
"We need others physically, emotionally, intellectually; we need them if we are to know anything, even ourselves." We hear often that love is patient and kind, not envious or prideful. We hear that human love is a reflection of divine love. We hear that God is love. But how do we understand its work in our lives, its perils and rewards? Here, the incomparable C. S. Lewis examines human love in four forms: affection, the most basic, general, and emotive; friendship, the most rare, least jealous, and, in being freely chosen, perhaps the most profound; Eros, passionate love that can run counter to happiness and poses real danger; charity, the greatest, most spiritual, and least selfish. Proper love is a risk ...
