Which C.S. Lewis novel features the space-faring planet Perelandra?

Perelandra is the C.S. Lewis novel featuring the space-faring planet Perelandra.

Published in 1943, it is the second book of the Ransom Trilogy. Elwin Ransom travels to Perelandra, a planet also called Venus, where he encounters a newly created world facing a temptation that echoes the biblical story of Eden.

Lewis’s fictional planet is not a realistic astronomical Venus. He uses planetary romance, invented geography and theological symbolism to explore obedience, freedom and the nature of evil.

Out of the Silent Planet is the trilogy’s Mars-set opening, while That Hideous Strength returns largely to Earth for its concluding conflict. The title Perelandra names both the novel and the world at the center of its story.
