Perelandra picks up the story some time after the events of Out of the Silent Planet with Lewis en route to Ransom’s home on ‘business.’ He arrives to find that Ransom is preparing to leave, at the Oyarsa’srequest, for Perelandra (Venus). In short, he puts the events of Out of the Silent Planet squarely in the here and now. The genius bit of Out of the Silent Planet is at the end, when Lewis reveals to the reader that he has changed the names of the people involved in this story but that the knowing reader will still be able to recognize who the story is about. Ultimately, Weston is foiled by the ruling spirit (Oyarsa) of Mars, and he and Ransom are sent back to Earth. ![]()
