Lewis' landmark series, The Chronicles of Narnia, has seen a number of on-screen iterations, including a cartoon version of The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe that was released in 1979 and a 1989 film series. Later, during WWII, Lewis gave highly popular radio broadcasts on Christianity which won many converts his speeches were collected in the work Mere Christianity.
After penning other titles - including The Allegory of Love (1936), for which he won the Hawthornden Prize - he released in 1938 his first sci-fi work, Out of the Silent Planet, the first of a space trilogy which dealt sub-textually with concepts of sin and desire. Lewis began publishing work including Spirits in Bondage in 1919 and the satirical Dymer in 1926. He would go on to become renowned for his rich apologist texts, in which he explained his spiritual beliefs via platforms of logic and philosophy. It was through conversations with group members that Lewis found himself re-embracing Christianity after having become disillusioned with the faith as a youth. There, he also joined the group known as The Inklings, an informal collective of writers and intellectuals who counted among their members Lewis' brother Warren and J.R.R. Lewis graduated from Oxford University with a focus on literature and classic philosophy, and in 1925 he was awarded a fellowship teaching position at Magdalen College, which was part of the university.
