Beschreibung

This collection of GK Chesterton personal essays provides interesting insights into his own philosophy and feelings about the issues of his day. Unfortunately, unless the reader is familiar with British society and literature of the late 1800's and early 1900's it is slow going and sometimes requires additional research to figure out what exactly he is saying.
