Clive Staples Lewis (29 November 1898 – 22 November 1963), commonly referred to as C. S. Lewis and known to his friends and family as "Jack", was a novelist, academic and Christian apologist from Belfast, Ireland . He is known for his fictional work, especially The Screwtape Letters, The Chronicles of Narnia and The Space Trilogy.
Clive Staples Lewis was born in Belfast, Ireland, on 29 November 1898. At the age of four , shortly after his dog Jacksie was killed by a car, he announced that his name was now Jacksie. At first he would answer to no other name, but later accepted Jack, the name by which he was known to friends and family for the rest of his life.
Lewis loved to read, and as his father 's house was filled with books .
Lewis was schooled by private tutors before being sent to the Wynyard School in Watford, Hertfordshire, in 1908, just after his mother 's death from cancer .
In 1956 he married the American writer Joy Gresham, 17 years his junior, who died four years later of cancer at the age of 45. Lewis died three years after his wife , as the result of renal failure (neeru puudulikkus). His death came one week before his 65th birthday. Media coverage of his death was minimal , as he died on 22 November 1963 – the same day that U.S. President John F. Kennedy was assassinated(mõrvatud), and the same day another famous author , Aldous Huxley , died. Lewis's works have been translated into more than 30 languages and have sold millions of copies.
