Hungarian Summary:
Ransomot, A csendes bolygó főhősét ezúttal a Perelandrára, a földiek között Vénuszként ismert égitestre szólítja a titkos küldetés. A távoli bolygó a természet csodája: a rajta lakó élőlények szelídek, barátságosak, nem ismerik a félelmet. A tenger-bölcső úszó szigetein ők kísérik Perelandra királyát és királynőjét, hogy egymásra találjanak. A szerző klasszikussá vált kozmikus trilógiája számos országban tucatnyi kiadást ért meg.
English Summary:
The second book in C. S. Lewis's acclaimed Space Trilogy, which also includes Out of the Silent Planet and That Hideous Strength, Perelandra continues the adventures of the extraordinary Dr. Ransom. Pitted against the most destructive of human weaknesses, temptation, the great man must battle evil on a new planet -- Perelandra -- when it is invaded by a dark force. Will Perelandra succumb to this malevolent being, who strives to create a new world order and who must destroy an old and beautiful civilization to do so? Or will it throw off the yoke of corruption and achieve a spiritual perfection as yet unknown to man? The outcome of Dr. Ransom's mighty struggle alone will determine the fate of this peace-loving planet.
