- Die böse Macht (That Hideous Strength) ist der Titel des 1945 erschienenen dritten Romans der Perelandra-Trilogie, einer Science-Fiction-Trilogie des britischen Literaturprofessors und Schriftstellers C. S. Lewis.
- That Hideous Strength (subtitled A Modern Fairy-Tale for Grown-Ups) is a 1945 novel by C. S. Lewis, the final book in Lewis's theological science fiction Space Trilogy. The events of this novel follow those of Out of the Silent Planet and Perelandra (a.k.a. Voyage to Venus) and once again feature the philologist Elwin Ransom. Yet, unlike the principal events of those two novels, the story takes place on Earth rather than in space or on other planets in the solar system. The story involves the allegedly scientific institute, the N.I.C.E. , which is a front for sinister supernatural forces. The novel was heavily influenced by the writing of Lewis's friend and fellow Inkling Charles Williams, and is markedly dystopian in style. In the book's preface Lewis acknowledges science-fiction writer Olaf Stapledon and his work: "Mr. Stapledon is so rich in invention that he can well afford to lend, and I admire his invention (though not his philosophy) so much that I should feel no shame to borrow. " In the foreword, Lewis states that the novel's point is the same as that in his non-fiction work The Abolition of Man. The title is taken from a poem written by David Lyndsay in 1555, Ane Dialog betuix Experience and ane Courteour, also known as The Monarche. The couplet in question, "The shadow of that hyddeous strength, sax myle and more it is of length", refers to the Tower of Babel.
- Cette hideuse puissance est un roman de C. S. Lewis publié en 1945 qui conclut La Trilogie cosmique. À la différence des deux tomes précédents, Au-delà de la planète silencieuse et Perelandra, qui conduisaient Elwin Ransom sur Mars et Vénus respectivement, Cette hideuse puissance se déroule entièrement sur Terre. Ransom y tient toujours un rôle important, mais n'est plus le protagoniste du récit.
- Thulcandra is het laatste deel van de Ruimte-trilogie, de theologische literaire trilogie van C.S. Lewis. Thulcandra wordt voorafgegaan door Malacandra en Perelandra. Het kwam uit als That Hideous Strength (1945), met de ondertitel A Modern Fairy-Tale for Grown-Ups. Het verhaal was in oorspronkelijke vorm dikker dan de eerste twee verhalen van de trilogie samen.
