Orthodoxy - The Original Classic Edition

by Chesterton G ...

Entertaining, humorous, intelligent, and full of surprises: Portly, fun loving, witty G.K. Chesterton decided to write this book as a companion volume to his book HERETICS. Since HERETICS had criticised contemporary philosophies, ORTHODOXY was written to present an alternative viewpoint, and is therefore both affirmative in tone and autobiographical in many places.A sampling of his chapter titles ...

The Man Who Knew Too Much - The Original Classic Edition

by Chesterton G ...

G.K. Chesterton was happy to do some spoofery of the deductive detective genre -- his detectives seemed to depend more on the knowledge of human nature. One good example is Horne Fisher, the star character who solves bizarre little mysteries because he knows too much... and all the wrong things.The first story opens with a reknowned book critic stumbling across a dead man with his head bashed on. ...

Chesterton weaves together a combination detective story, wierd dream (Nightmare as he says on his cover page), and social commentary. Its certainly not an apologetic book (as C.S.

The Incredulity of Father Brown

by G. Chesterton ...

Series series Father Brown

Incongruous and indeed incredible as it may seem to any one who ... Read more
