Chesterton: 598 books

G.K. Chesterton was an English writer, theologian and poet.  Chesterton, also known as the prince of paradox, wrote on a vast variety of subjects using an unorthodox yet interesting writing style.  This edition of The Wild Knight and Other Poems includes a table of contents.

Many of Chesterton's reflections are timeless and startlingly prescient. He was highly critical of both the naive immigration policies and the grinding dehumanisation brought about by the growth of the economy. Nonetheless, he was enthralled by the glorious ideals of the nation - founded on principles...

A Short History of England, Chesterton gives us a cutting, humorous and brilliant tour of English History; though to be honest it's more of a collection of essays and a commentary on popular histories of the day. It follows the great arc of English history from the Roman era to WWI, always with wit,...

È con la consueta inclinazione al paradosso e all’ironia che Chesterton ci parla di un’esperienza drammatica come la conversione religiosa, partendo ovviamente dalla sua personale, avvenuta nel 1922. In queste pagine – sottili, brillanti, appassionate – accompagna l’anima perennemente in...

Chesterton describes his understanding of the words Orthodox and Heretic as they apply to, and have changed in, the modern period. Chesterton argues that in modernity, the word orthodoxy not only no longer means being right; it practically means being wrong. He continues to write that society no longer...

In 1900, he was asked to contribute a few magazine articles on art criticism, and went on to become one of the most prolific writers of all time. He wrote a hundred books, contributions to 200...

San Tommaso d’Aquino (1225-1274) è uno dei pilastri del pensiero cristiano. La sua opera raccorda e armonizza il messaggio evangelico e la filosofia classica, la fede e la ragione. Eppure, scrive Chesterton, «questo grande personaggio meriterebbe di essere più conosciuto». E proprio intorno...

In seguito alla pubblicazione nel 1905 di Eretici – una raccolta di saggi in cui l’autore attacca con stile brillante e corrosivo i dogmi della sua epoca – G.K. Chesterton fu sfidato dalla critica a indicare quale fosse la propria visione del mondo. Tre anni più tardi, nel 1908, diede alle...

This book may not be, Chesterton says, important as a contribution to history, but it is important as a contribution to biography; as a contribution to the character and the career of the man who wrote it, a typical man of his time. That Dickens made no personal historical researches, that he had...
