Описание: Shabby and lumbering, with a face like a Norfolk dumpling, Father Brown makes for an improbable super-sleuth. But his innocence is the secret of his success: refusing the scientific method of detection, he adopts instead an approach of simple sympathy, interpreting each crime as a work of art, and each criminal as a man no worse than himself.

Описание:
G. K. Chesterton is well known as a novelist, essayist, storyteller, poet, philosopher, theologian, historian, artist, and critic. He's less well-known as a journalist these days, yet all evidence indicates that he viewed his work for the various newspapers as his primary raison-de-etre.
"All Things Considered" brings together about thirty columns that Chesterton wrote for the London Daily News in the years before World War I. There's no theme here; as the title suggests, this is a hodgepodge that wanders over everything imaginable. The only unifying thread is high quality.
Completeset of three Chesterton Apologetics by G. K. Chesterton in one volume, including Heretics, Orthodoxy, and The Everlasting Man.
Heretics - Chesterton discusses ideas by H. G. Wells, George Bernard Shaw, Kipling and others of his day in his argument for God.
From the 1905 British edition, it includes great thoughts such as these:
"The modern world is filled with men who hold dogmas so strongly that they do not even know that they are dogmas."
Orthodoxy - Arranged upon a riddle and an answer, it tells how Chesterton himself went from pagan, to agnostic, to staunch Christian. From the 1908 British Edition.
The Everlasting Man - Chesterton successfully challenges the view that man is just another evolutionary animal, and that Jesus Christ was only human. C. S. Lewis said it was the best popular defense of the full Christian position.
From the 1925 British Edition, it includes great thoughts such as these:
"The life of man is a story; an adventure story; and in our vision the same is true even of the story of God."
"Atheists may continue to war with Christianity, but it will be as they war with nature; as they war with the landscape, as they war with the skies."
Witty, deep, and positively entertaining, no student of thought should be without this historic book. This edition is provided in a slim volume with full text at an affordable price.

Описание:
The English author Gilbert Keith Chesterton (1874-1936) was a very prominent cultural figure at the beginning of the last century. A true intellectual freethinker who never submitted himself to conventional ideas only because they were in vogue, he was one of few who understood the false theory and dangerous ethics behind the popular eugenics movement. The aim for the eugenicists was to improve humanity and create a race of superhumans, by the use of sterilization, birth control and other means that prevented poor, sick, handicapped and criminal people from getting offspring. Of course, there were strong racist motives behind the eugenics movement as well.
Chesterton foresaw what this should lead to especially in Germany. In this collection of essays from 1922 -- one of the most important books from the beginning of the 20th century -- he warned humanity for all this.
G.K. Chesterton was one of few, but he was not alone. For a decade, there had been a small but growing criticism against social engineering motivated by racism and biologism. During the Universal Races Congress in London 1911, the German-American anthropologist Franz Boas (1858-1942) together with the African-American author, sociologist and civil rights activist W.E.B. Du Bois (1868-1963), had made a strong statement against scientific racism in sociology and politics.
The world had been warned. But not enough people listened.
