Synopsis

In this sparkling and prophetic masterwork, Chesterton diagnoses the spiritual and political malaise of modern society with dazzling wit and paradox. Arguing that we cannot cure social ills until we know what is right, he mounts a passionate defense of the family, the private home, and small property against the dual threats of corporate plutocracy and state socialism. Rich in moral clarity, this timeless classic champions ordinary human freedom.

About G. K. Chesterton

G. K. Chesterton (1874-1936) was one of the most influential English writers of the twentieth century. His prolific and diverse output included journalism, philosophy, poetry, biography,Christian apologetics, fantasy, and detective fiction. Chesterton is well known for his reasoned apologetics, and even those who disagree with him have recognized the universal appeal of such works as Orthodoxy and The Everlasting Man. Chesterton routinely referred to himself as an "orthodox" Christian and came to identify such a position with Catholicism more and more, eventually converting to Roman Catholicism. George Bernard Shaw, Chesterton's "friendly enemy" according to Time magazine, said of him, "He was a man of colossal genius."
