Perelandra is the second book in C.S. Lewis’ Space Trilogy set on the planet of Perelandra, or Venus, which follow the character Elwin Ransom, a philologist loosely based on Tolkien.

'The name "Charles Pearce"...to whisper it after dark is to start a horde of wild imagings...all that makes the flesh creep and the hair stand on end...a repulsive creature to look upon; a colossal braggart; a gifted musician; a murderer - a dwarf in stature and a Samson in strength; the perfect burglar; and a man with an irresistible attraction for women...'
