Perelandra, published in 1943, is the second book in C.S. Lewis's acclaimed *Space Trilogy*. It follows the adventures of Dr. Elwin Ransom, a philologist who has previously traveled to Mars in the first book, *Out of the Silent Planet*. In Perelandra, Ransom journeys to Venus, which is depicted as a lush and vibrant world. The story explores themes of temptation, free will, and the nature of good and evil. Ransom encounters the planet's inhabitants, including the beautiful and innocent Green Lady, who represents a new Adam and Eve figure. However, the peace of Perelandra is threatened by the arrival of a demonic entity that attempts to corrupt her and lead her into temptation, mirroring the biblical story of the Fall.
