C.S. Lewis: The Screwtape Letters Audiobook

Here is an audio reading the famous book "The Screwtape Letters" by C.S. Lewis, read by John Cleese.

The Screwtape Letters is a Christian apologetic novel by C. S. Lewis and dedicated to J. R. R. Tolkien. It is written in a satirical style and while it is fictional in format, the plot and characters are used to address Christian theological issues, primarily those to do with temptation and resistance to it.

First published in February 1942, the story takes the form of a series of letters from a senior demon Screwtape to his nephew Wormwood, a junior tempter. The uncle's mentorship pertains to the nephew's responsibility in securing the damnation of a British man known only as "the Patient."

He is in Oxford. He has a stage of a chair, and some tea. The group he is speaking to, seems to have been a group of American literature students.  There is no introduction. He just comes out and starts going.
