All the biggest events of Blake’s life would have happened before he was born. But, on consideration, I think it will be better to tell the tale of Blake’s life first and go back to his century afterwards. It is not, indeed, easy to resist temptation, for there was much to ...

Der Pater weilt auf Urlaub in den USA. Und schliddert selbstredend sofort in einen Kriminalfall. Ein bekannter Milliardär wurde ermordet. Mit einem Pfeil erschossen - vom Garten seines Anwesens, das einer uneinnehmbaren Festung gleicht. Vom Täter fehlt jede Spur. Wie ist das möglich? Ist hier etwas Übernatürliches am Werk? Fiel dieser Pfeil buchstäblich vom Himmel?

Ortodoxia es un ensayo de G. K. Chesterton, publicado en 1908, que se ha convertido en un clásico sobre apologética cristiana. En él presenta una visión original de la religión cristiana, que Chesterton ve como una respuesta a las necesidades naturales de los seres humanos, la «respuesta a un acertijo», y no como una verdad arbitraria recibida de alguna parte extraña a la experiencia humana.

In the freezing English countryside, Father Brown leads Flambeau to the many monuments and shrines of the great General St. Claire. "Sacred to the Memory of General Sir Arthur St. Clare, Hero and Martyr, who Always Vanquished his Enemies and Always Spared Them, and Was Treacherously Slain by Them At Last. May God in Whom he Trusted both Reward and Revenge him." is the inscription that they read on each of them. Flambeau knows nothing of him but listens to the story of this man as Father Brown tells it. Was St. Claire truly a hero and martyr? What is the mystery behind his last foolish and ...

With G. K. C.’s characteristic wit, he explores in this essay the virtues of baby-worship, as adults are invited to see the world anew through the eyes of children. Furthermore, argues G. K. C., an appreciation of our youngest humans “forces us actually to remodel our conduct in accordance with this revolutionary theory of the marvellousness of all things.”

Why do humans have a horror of skeletons? Is this aversion justified? What does it signify? Such are the animating questions of this essay by G. K. Chesterton, who acts as a witty defendant for humanity’s hidden form.

The experiments of both Capitalism and Communism are almost complete, and they both lead to one big organization controlling everything you do. In 1925, when this book was first published, it was true, and it is even truer today.

In this galloping collection of twenty pointed essays, G. K. Chesterton (1874-1936) nimbly punctures the philosophical pretensions of modern non-Christian thinkers and artists—heretics, as he calls them. Chesterton good-naturedly takes on contemporaries Rudyard Kipling, H. G. Wells, James McNeill Whistler, and even his good friend George Bernard Shaw, exposing the muddled logic of their popular ideas with his characteristic wisdom and razor-sharp wit. He also begins to lay the groundwork for Orthodoxy, his subsequent account of a rational and coherent Christian faith.

In this classic of Christian apologetics, Chesterton lays out a sort of “spiritual autobiography”—how he personally came to believe. Chesterton considered it a companion book to his earlier work Heretics. Where Heretics was a collection of essays defending the Christian faith, Orthodoxy is Chesterton’s own story of how he came to believe that faith.

L’irresistibile Padre Brown torna a stupirci con le sue incredibili doti intuitive, sempre accompagnate da un’incrollabile fede nella forza del Bene sul Male! In una serie di indagini appassionanti e cariche di humour, il brillante prete dell’Essex deve affrontare il mistero di strani specchi e di enigmatiche armature, smascherando ciarlatani che simulano doti soprannaturali e riconducendo assassini spietati sulla retta via... Il londinese Gilbert Keith Chesterton (1874-1936) è stato fra i più importanti intellettuali cattolici della sua generazione.

Wenn Flambeau seinen Monatsurlaub nimmt, dann unternimmt er eine Bootsfahrt. Und die unternimmt er mit seinem Freund, dem schlauen Pater aus Essex. So auch dieses Mal. Allerdings dieses Mal mit einem bestimmten Ziel. So hat ihn vor langer Zeit der Brief eines seltsamen Mannes erreicht. Eine Einladung. Von einem waschechten Prinzen. Und den wollen die beiden nun also besuchen. Kaum dort angekommen, werden sie unfreiwillig Zeugen geradezu schrecklicher Ereignisse. Ein Duell. Ein Mord. Der Täter geständig. Selten gab es einen einfacheren Fall - glaubt die Polizei. Doch Pater Brown sieht das etwas anders.
