The Last Battle audiobook

The Last Battle (Chronicles of Narnia, #7), C.S. LewisThe Last Battle is a high fantasy novel for children by C. S. Lewis, published by The Bodley Head in 1956. It was the seventh and final novel in the Chronicles of Narnia series. The Last Battle is set almost entirely in the Narnia world and the English children who participate arrive only in the middle of the narrative. The novel is set some 200 Narnian years after The Silver Chair and about 2500 years (and 49 Earth years) since the creation of the world narrated in The Magician's Nephew. A false Aslan is set up in the north-western borderlands and conflict between true and false Narnians merges with that between Narnia and Calormen, whose people worship Tash. It concludes with termination of the world by Aslan, after a "last battle" that is practically lost. ...تاریخ نخستین خوانش: ماه ژانویه سال2002میلادیعنوان: ماجراهای نارنیا - کتاب هفت آخرین نبرد؛ نویسنده: کلاویو استیپلز لوئیس؛ مترجم: امید اقتداری؛ منوچهر کریم زاده، کتابهای کیمیا، تهران خیابان ولی عصر، بالاتر از میدان ونک، سال1379؛ در شش و173ص؛ چاپ دوم سال1382؛ چاپ سوم سال1385؛ چاپ چهارم سال1393؛موضوع داستانهای نویسندگان بریتانیا - سده 20معنوان: آخرین نبرد؛ نویسنده سی ‌اس لویس‏‫؛ تصویرگر پولین بینز‬؛ ‏‫مترجم فهیمه رحمتی؛ تهران، آسو، سال1397؛ در168ص؛ شابک9786008755876؛عنوان: آخرین نبرد؛ نویسنده سی.اس لوئیس‏‫؛ تصویرگر پولین‌دایانا بینز؛ مترجم پیمان اسماعیلیان‌؛ ویراستار شهرام رجب‌زاده؛ تهران: قدیانی، کتابهای بنفشه؛ سال1387؛ در264ص؛ شابک9789644178559؛ چاپ دوم سال1390؛ چاپ سوم سال1394؛عنوان: آخرین نبرد؛ نویسنده: سی.اس. لوییس؛ مترجم زهره گرامی؛ ویراستار فاطمه ستوده؛ تهران، پنجره‏‫، سال1387؛ در184ص؛ شابک9789648890860؛ چاپ دوم سال1390؛نارنیا دنیایی است، که در آن، حیوانات نیز سخن میگویند؛ جادو امری رایج است، و خوبی، به جنگ با بدیها میرود؛ آغاز داستان آفرینش «نارنیا»، در روز نخست، با آواز «اصلان شیر»، و سخنگو شدن حیوانات، با جادوی «اصلان» بوده، و پایان داستان در همین کتاب «آخرین نبرد» آمده است، تا سرگذشت «نارنیا»، و ماجرای کودکانی را بگوید، که نقش اصلی، در تاریخچه ی دنیای «نارنیا» را بازی می‌کنند؛ در هر کتاب از این هفتگانه (به جز اسب و آدمش) کودکانی از همین دنیای ما، به صورتی جادویی، به «نارنیا» میروند، جاییکه از آن‌ها خواسته می‌شود، تا به «اصلان شیر» یاری برسانند؛ زندگی آنها در این جهان است، و تمام ماجراهایشان در «نارنیا»ی خیال انگیز میگذرد، حالا، سرانجام فصل نخست داستان بزرگ را، که هیچکس بر روی زمین، آن را نخوانده است؛ آغاز میکنند، که تا ابد ادامه مییابد، و در آن هر فصل، بهتر از فصل پیشین است؛تاریخ بهنگام رسانی 08/01/1400هجری خورشیدی؛ 23/08/1400هجری خورشیدی؛ ا. شربیانی

“I have come home at last! This is my real country! I belong here. This is the land I have been looking for all my life, though I never knew it till now...Come further up, come further in!” Aaaah! I can't believe I am done with this series... honestly, I did not expect to be so much involved with it by the end. When I read the first book (I read them in publication order, so my first one was The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe), I thought: "well, this is a cute story, I like it well enough"; then I went on and I wasn't really a fan of the middle books. But then I read The Magician's Nephew and this one and woah! I was blown away by the beauty and poetry of it all. The last chapters of this books, the last chapters of the Chronicles of Narnia, are one of the most poetic and beautiful things I ever read; and I won't lie - I was moved to tears. It's just, the beauty of Aslan is just too much. I can't believe I waited since adulthood to read this whole series! And I am so glad I pushed through those middle books. Now I am sure I will re-read this series some time in the future! Beautiful.

The first part of this book was so difficult for me to get through. I hated how Narnia had become so tainted. Everything was so utterly depressing, but thankfuly, things did not stay that way. The last half is so wonderful. I hardly knew what to do with myself after reading it for the first time.Of any of the worlds I've read about, Narnia is the one I would most like to visit or better yet, live in forever. I think that speaks to C.S. Lewis' ability to understand the longing of the human soul to be united with God.

This is my seventh journey into the fantastical lands of Narnia, as I have chosen to read the series in chronological rather than publication order.What a fitting end to such an epic series! Despite having a darker message and more serious tone than the other stories, I enjoyed this just as much as the previous books.It has been centuries since the last sighting of the mystical Aslan and his name has turned from legend to myth. With some falsely using his name and status, and others denouncing him altogether, it is left to the returning children from our world to save Narnia once again.Despite a similar running theme, this seemed aimed at a more adult audience. There was some dark imagery and an overall more sinister tone. However, as an adult reader myself, I enjoyed these new aspects. I adored seeing the return of old faces and, without them, this would not have been a proper conclusion. I am sad to say goodbye but I know I will be returning, probably soon, to one of my new favourite fictional lands.

This is only a partial review - someday - I will give this book the full review it deserves.There are very few books that move me to my core. The depths of sadness and the heights of exhilaration captured in this book never fail to carry me with them. The Last Battle by C.S. Lewis stirs a part of my soul so deep, so unknown - I can barely explain it. It awakens a desire for a place I have been searching for all my life. Hope soars through me as I stare into utter darkness, and I find myself knowing that I was born to fight - with everything in me - to the death for my Lord. That I am called to stand in the shadow of the Stable Door. It also features one of my favorite male heroes of all time - King Tirian. Tirian could have ignored the call, he could have hidden at his hunting lodge and carved out a semblance of pleasure and prosperity - but he ran to the battle, he ran to his people, he ran to Aslan. And he was the only person in Narnia that JUMPED through the Stable Door.May I also run to the battle - may I someday jump through that door - mocking defeat and death and dragging the enemy in with me because I KNOW: "We all rest between the paws of the Lion." “The term is over: the holidays have begun. The dream is ended: this is the morning.”

** spoiler alert ** This is my favorite of the Narnia books. I love how it begins, and especially how it ends. I enjoyed it immensely as a child, but as an adult it strikes a much deeper cord. The Christian allegory of these books is really summed up and finished here in a beautiful way. I really enjoyed all of Lewis' subtle hints about what he believes, and was surprised by how many things I agreed with. I love that the Taarkan is told that all who do good in the name of Tash are really doing it to Aslan, and those who do evil in the name of Aslan are really accepted by Tash. The only thing I didn't like was the loss of Susan- and her unwillingness to believe in Narnia anymore. But, I think that was also foreshadowed in Prince Caspian, and I think that Lewis had another point he was trying to make there, as well, about where our hearts and focus are in this life. So, even though it made me sad, I understood some of the reasoning behind it.

"All shall be well, and all shall be well and all manner of thing shall be well." Julian of NorwichHere is CS Lewis's attmept to comfort us with visions of heavenly truth. I think he succeeds. The first time I ever really desired Heaven was after reading this as a 19yo young married girl. Today as I finished reading it to my student, I felt my heart ache again longingly. I ache for that heavenly realty. As I read off each of the people the children were finding in the "further up and further in" Narnia, Drake, my student, would jump out of his chair and hoot for joy. You gotta love a 12 year old boy!I found myself happiest to see Puddleglum again. I hope I am not saying goodbye to Narnia forever. Gotta figure out a way to have Zoom read alouds with my grandchildren.

This is a series that ends perfectly, everything nicely tied up and feel good (apart from Susan but every situation has a Susan).I enjoyed this reread so much, I had totally forgotten how this wrapped up and to see Lucy and Mr Tumnus again was the icing on the cake. Reading childhood favourites is a risky business but I'm glad I did. While I saw some bits of christianity here and there I didnt find it as extreme as some do, the overriding message I got from this is that Humans are pretty awful in most situations and Lions should rule the world.

Whew....those last couple pages though 😯😅 It feels like such a long time since I first got into this series....Initially, I was thinking this was only going to be a 4 star read, but once I started getting near the end I enjoyed it a lot more. I was hoping that the Pevensies would have more page time, but I was happy they were at least in it for a little while. (view spoiler)[I'll admit, I teared up a little at the end...but it wasn't necessarily in a bad way, just bittersweet ya know? I'm also a little more emotional right now for certain reasons xD lol (hide spoiler)] I'm really gonna miss reading about the Narnia world for the first time though :/ Definitely going to be rereading the series in the future though!! Might even read the Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe again around Christmas. That was the first time I read it, on Christmas Eve a few years back and it made the experience more enjoyable to me :)Y'all have probably heard the news about Netflix making a series or movies out of the books, right? I'm both excited and nervous to see what they do lol What are y'alls thoughts on that? 😝😂😅Quote just because :)“All their life in this world and all their adventures had only been the cover and the title page: now at last they were beginning Chapter One of the Great Story which no one on earth has read: which goes on for ever: in which every chapter is better than the one before.” ["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>

I've finally finished the Narnia series!

March 2020 ReviewI didn’t want it to end again.May 2015 ReviewSecured once again as my favorite book of the Narniad, and my favorite book of all time. The theological questions Lewis explores in this one (some answers to which I don't actually agree with) speak most directly to troubles in modern times, in my opinion. So it really strikes home. It's a beautiful, heartbreaking Narnian perspective as well: such desperation, and yet such joy, in continuing the fight, visiting old friends, pondering deep questions... here at the end of all things.Quotes:“Remember that all worlds draw to an end and that a noble death is a treasure which no one is too poor to buy.”

I dislike the conclusion of this series but still, it deserves a 5* rating for me since I base it to the wisdom I got and not because of the emotions that left in me after reading the last word at the end. In my opinion, this book tells not just about Christianity but also as a human being. Why? It’s because Christians are not the only people in this world who have faith. Just like the dwarves in this book, they lose faith after they’ve been deceived once. And like Susan who simply turns her back and stops believing. (Honestly, I still feel the injustice of how the author treats Susan’s character.) Also, I couldn’t forget how King Tirian loses the faith in his own as he compared himself to the previous Kings and Queens of Narnia. Hours later after I finished reading, another point that struck my heart. Aslan is a symbol of Narnian’s faith. They feared him and yet they didn’t know and understand who he really is. Their fears and lack of understanding are the reasons why they’ve been easily deceived and do what was being told even if it is inappropriate. That fact is no difference from the rest of us.
