What is the title of C.S. Lewis’s novel about the planet Perelandra?

C.S. Lewis’s novel about the planet Perelandra is titled Perelandra.

Published in 1943, Perelandra is the second volume of Lewis’s Space Trilogy. Its protagonist, the philologist Elwin Ransom, travels to the planet Venus, which is called Perelandra in the story. There he becomes involved in a conflict over temptation, obedience, and the future of a young world.

The first volume, Out of the Silent Planet, takes Ransom to Mars, called Malacandra. The third volume, That Hideous Strength, returns to Earth. Remembering the planetary names helps distinguish the trilogy’s settings.

Perelandra is also known by the American title Voyage to Venus. That alternate title can cause confusion in bibliographies, but Perelandra is the standard title and the name most directly associated with the planet and the novel.
