Description

Chesterton in a brawl you can hear: Shaw, Kipling, the cult of progress, each fashionable mind walked out and tripped. Heretics, unabridged English essays, prefers a creed to a mood — paradox as a sword, wit in the service of orthodoxy, ordinary truth defended with a joke inside. Never dull. Listen to unbelief taken to pieces, and a Catholic laugh that still lands. Polemic as entertainment, orthodoxy with a grin, essays that still pick a fight worth hearing.

Author

Gilbert Keith Chesterton was an English writer, often referred to as the prince of paradox. Chesterton is well known for his fictional priest-detective Father Brown, and for his reasoned apologetics. Even some of those who disagree with him have recognized the wide appeal of such works as Orthodoxy and The Everlasting Man. Chesterton's wit, paradoxical style, and defence of tradition made him a dominant figure in early 20th-century literature.
