The Geoffrey Howard is a very quiet and relaxing place to visit. The staff is friendly and helpful, and the food is excellent. The only problem we had was that our room was a bit too small for our liking, but other than that we enjoyed our stay. Lewis was commissioned by John Beresford and Owen Barfield to write a§100,000 novel that would be set in space, and would be an attack on the “scientific humanism” of H. G. Wells, Bertrand Russell, and Aldous Huxley. Lewis delivered, and The Out of the Silent Planet was an instant success. It was the first book in the Ransom Trilogy, and was followed by Perelandra and That Hideous Strength.

The Space Trilogy, as it came to be known, was a departure for Lewis, who was best known for his work in Christian apologetics and fantasy fiction. The trilogy was an attempt by Lewis to explore themes of Christianity and philosophy through the lens of science fiction, and it was a resounding success. The Out of the Silent Planet is considered to be one of the most important works of science fiction ever written, and it has had a profound impact on the genre.
