An incredibly prophetic book

“I advise you to read it. Reading it, you'll understand well what I mean by ideological colonization.” — Pope Francis

Written in 1907, Lord of the World, is a dystopian science fiction novel, accurately predicts a future world which includes legalized euthanasia, mass communication, rapid transport, air travel, weapons of mass destruction… Robert Hugh Benson describes a future ruled by the Antichrist who becomes ‘Lord of the World’, a nightmare where “creeping secularism and Godless humanism have triumphed over religion and traditional morality”. This book is shocking how prophetic it is, it's an apocalyptic vision of the so-called progress of modern man. This author reveals a lot of what we are experiencing today. This masterpiece is a must-read not only to Catholics, but also to anyone else who is worried about the direction that western civilization is going. It is time to think seriously about our eternity!
Autorenporträt
Robert Hugh Benson was an English Catholic priest and author who lived from 18 November 1871 to 19 October 1914. He began his ministry as an Anglican priest before being welcomed and ordained in the Catholic Church in 1903. He also wrote a lot of fiction, including Come Rack! Come to Rope! and the well-known dystopian novel Lord of the World. His works include current fiction, children's stories, plays, apologetics, devotional writings, and historical, horror, and science fiction. In parallel with rising through the ranks to serve as a Chamberlain to Pope Pius X in 1911 and earning the title of Monsignor before passing away a few years later, he continued his writing career. Benson, the younger brother of E. F., A. C., and Margaret Benson, was the youngest child of Edward White Benson, the Archbishop of Canterbury, and his wife, Mary. Robert Hugh Benson attended Eton College for his education before attending Trinity College in Cambridge from 1890 to 1893 to study classics and religion. Benson's father, who was the Archbishop of Canterbury at the time, gave him his ordination as a priest in the Church of England in 1895.
