It can accomplish this, Lewis worries, mostly through birth control and eugenics. In it, Lewis takes on the very real possibility that any one single generation might attempt to remove itself from the necessary continuity of generations, proclaim itself superior to all that came before, and-even without necessarily meaning to-establish itself as the authority of all that will come after it. Many regard Lewis’s 1943 book, The Abolition of Man, to be his greatest work. While all his books are, of course, worth reading, here are the ten that every imaginative conservative should read. Yet, Lewis’s corpus is so extensive that even his most ardent admirers are unsure where to start-or where to go or where to end-with his written works. Surely, we can do better than the atheists. Even atheists read Lewis’s Christian books, if only for the art of them. While all three wrote voluminously, Lewis’s books had the broadest appeal. Lewis was the last century’s greatest Christian apologist, rivaled only by G.K.
