Beschreibung:
Gilbert Keith Chesterton (1874-1936) was born into a middle-class family in London. He dropped out of art school to work as a journalist. For the rest of his life most of his work appeared first in periodicals, including his own publication, G. K.'s Weekly, The Illustrated London News, The Daily News, and many others. His collected works are expected to run to fifty volumes, with most of the collections containing as many as three separate books, and each averaging about six hundred pages. Since his death in 1936, an inquiry into his case for canonization by the Roman Catholic is now underway.Arthur Livingston is an adjunct professor of English literature at Regent University and co-founder of the oldest continuously meeting chapter of the G. K. Chesterton Society in the United States. He has also written poetry for fifty-five years.
This antiquarian volume contains a fascinating exploration of European politics prior to, during, and after the First World War. This insightful and masterfully written book is full of interesting information and clever observations, and it will appeal to anyone with an interest in history, the First Wold War, or European politics. The chapters of this book include: "The Facts of the Case", "The War on the Word", "The Refusal of Reciprocity", "The Scope of Folly", and "Letters to an Old Garibaldian". Many vintage books such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive, and it is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now, in an affordable, high-quality, modern edition. It comes complete with a specially commissioned biography of the author.
