Beschreibung
British writer GILBERT KEITH CHESTERTON (1874-1936) expounded prolifically about his wide-ranging philosophies-he is impossible to categorize as "liberal" or "conservative," for instance-across a wide variety of avenues: he was a literary critic, historian, playwright, novelist, columnist, and poet. His witty, humorous style earned him the title of the "prince of paradox," and his works-80 books and nearly 4,000 essays-remain among the most beloved in the English language

In this collection of twenty classic essays, first published in 1905, Chesterton cleverly and wisely develops his ideas about "heretics"-or those who have the great misfortune not to share his moderate outlook on the world. Essays include:

. "On the Importance of Orthodoxy"
. "On Mr. Rudyard Kipling and Making the World Small"
. "Mr. Bernard Shaw"
. "Mr. H. G. Wells and the Giants"
. "Christmas and the Aesthetes"
. "On Scandals and Simplicity"
. "Science and the Savages"
. "Celts and Celtophiles"
. "On Smart Novelists and the Smart Set"
. "On the Wit of [James McNeill] Whistler"
. and others.

Über den Autor
G. K. Chesterton (1874-1936) was an English writer, essayist, critic, and novelist whose work ranged across theology, philosophy, journalism, and fiction. Renowned for his wit and mastery of paradox, he created the character of Father Brown as a counterpoint to the hyper-rational detectives of his era. Chesterton's mystery stories remain central to the development of twentieth-century crime fiction, influencing later writers through their emphasis on moral psychology as much as deductive reasoning.
