TFS 10: Narnia, Here and There Intro

September 4, 2023 • Rick Ganz

Series 1 of The Faber Sessions in April-May 2020 was an exploration of The Chronicles of Narnia by C.S. Lewis, written by him in the decade after World War II, the seven novels published, one per year, from 1950 to 1956. In that Spring of 2020, we read all seven novels - a novel per week - as the pandemic (impacting us in March 2020) had week by week locked us into our homes. We offered Series 1 to a select group, online. Now in this Series 10, we invite all of you to join us online (i.e, in your own homes and during the dinner hour: you are welcome to eat as you listen and engage) as we make our way into Narnia again: one novel a month from September 2023 to April 2023, with a pause taken for a special Session on Christmas Carols in December 2023. Each of these novels is like the experience we have of the best people we know, who are so approachable on first meeting them but whose depth and richness of insight becomes more and more as we know them better. The novels by Lewis are masterpieces - intensely wise and well-told tales.

The Faber Sessions #10 Part 1 on The Magician's Nephew from the Chronicles of Narnia by C.S. Lewis, presented by Rick Ganz. “We must now go back a bit and explain what the whole scene had looked like from Uncle Andrew’s point of view. It had not made at all the same impression on him as on the Cabby and the children. For what you see and hear depends a good deal on where you are standing: it also depends on what sort of person you are.”

TFS 10,2: Narnia Here and There: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe

October 2, 2023 • Rick Ganz

The Faber Sessions #10 Part 2 on The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe from the Chronicles of Narnia by C.S. Lewis, presented by Rick Ganz. “Once there were four children whose names were Peter, Susan, Edmund and Lucy. This story is about something that happened to them when they were sent away from London during the war because of the air-raids. They were sent to the house of an old Professor who lived in the heart of the country, ten miles from the nearest railway station and two miles from the nearest post office.”
