Produktbeschreibung
A visionary in his day, G. K. Chesterton somehow foresaw the brewing ideological storms surrounding totalitarianism, social progressivism, and the woman's suffrage movements. As evidenced by his writings, Chesterton also foresaw the eventuality of a more intrusive government. It this classic book first published in 1910, Chesterton examines the above threats to a decent, stable, ordinary life. His uncanny insights, made ten years before his conversion to Catholicism, are still unmistakably influence by Catholic teachings on the false emphasis on "science," sexual license as "liberating," socialism's fake humanity, and how "faith in the future" is actually a sign of cowardice and fear of our past. As readable today as when it was first written, Chesterton's work remains an incisive analysis of what is truly wrong with our world.
Autorenporträt
G. K. Chesterton (1874-1936) was a prolific English writer, philosopher, lay theologian, and literary and art critic. He is best known in mystery circles as the creator of the fictional priest-detective Father Brown and for the metaphysical thriller The Man Who Was Thursday. Often referred to as "the prince of paradox," Chesterton frequently made his points by turning familiar sayings and proverbs inside out. Chesterton attended the Slade School of Art, a department of University College London, where he took classes in illustration and literature, though he did not complete a degree in either subject. In 1895, at the age of twenty-one, he began working for the London publisher George Redway. A year later he moved to another publisher, T. Fisher Unwin, where he undertook his first work in journalism, illustration, and literary criticism. In addition to writing fifty-three Father Brown stories, Chesterton authored articles and books of social criticism, philosophy, theology, economics, literary criticism, biography, and poetry.
