WAR IN HEAVEN
Book Details + Condition: Victor Gollancz Ltd (London). First Edition, 1930. Hardcover. 288 pages. Author Charles Williams’ epic account of the (contemporary) supernatural clash between good and evil. The struggle is over the possession and use of the chalice that Jesus used at the Last Supper, the Holy Grail or, as Williams spells it, the Holy Graal. In Williams’ story and theology, heaven and hell co-exist simultaneously on the same plane as the material world we live in. Examining the distinction between magic and religion, War in Heaven has been called an eerily disturbing book, one that graphically portrays a metaphysical journey through the shadows of the human soul.
From the massive occult collection of King Lawrence Parker - academic, dissertation author, and book collector extraordinaire. Firm binding; rubbed corners and edges; light wear to boards; slight lean to book; Parker's bookplate to inside front board; toning to endpapers; interior is clean and free of markings.
