Ransom's adventures continue. He is sent by the Eldils to Venus (a.k.a. "Perelandra") for reasons unknown to him. Perelandra is beautiful and unmarred in its Eden-like stage but after Ransom spends some time conversing with this healing planets "Eve" (which he calls the "Green Lady"), Satan (the "Bent One") makes his subtle and deceptive appearance by possessing (and destroying) Weston (Ransom's old colleague) and tempting the "Green Lady" (I'd like to add another parentheses here) to disobey "Maleldil" (God). Ransom then discovers his purpose on this planet. He is to be its Savior and defeat the "Evil One" to prevent a repeat of Earth's fallen humanity.   hide
