    The journals of a club which called itself the Lunatic Asylum: a group of amiable eccentrics who spend their time trying to do the impossible.

But soon they begin to see themselves as men with a mission: for they find that they are the...

    DIVORCE VERSUS DEMOCRACY
    G. K. CHESTERTON
    Excerpt: "I have been asked to put forward in pamphlet form this rather hasty essay as it appeared in “Nash’s Magazine”; and I do so by the kind permission of the editor. The rather chaotic quality of its journalism it is now impossible to alter. The convictions upon which it is based are unaltered and unalterable. Indeed, in so far as circumstances have since affected them, th...

    THE SUPERSTITIONS OF DIVORCE
    G. K. CHESTERTON
    Excerpt: "It is futile to talk of reform with reference to form. To take a case from my own taste and fancy, there is nothing I feel to be so beautiful and wonderful as a window. All casements are magic casements, whether they open on the foam or the front-garden; they lie close to the ultimate mystery and paradox of limitation and liberty. But if I followed my instinct towards...

    Excerpt: "It was merely the accident of his hour, the call of his age, which made Tennyson a philosophic poet. He was naturally not only a pure lover of beauty, but a pure lover of beauty in a much more peculiar and distinguished sense even than a man like Keats, or a man like Robert Bridges. He gave us scenes of Nature that cannot easily be surpassed, but he chose them like a ...

    Writing shortly after Kitchener's death, G. K. Chesterton attempted to evaluate the military leader's career more as a succession of triumphs, from the defeat of the Mahdi at Omdurman to the defusing of a potential war with France at Fashoda to victories in South Africa's Boer War, to diplomatic and military leadership in India.

These notes range over very variegated topics and in many cases were made at very different times. They concern all sorts of things from lady barristers to cave-men, and from psycho-analy...

Rhetorical phrases about its inarticulate strength and nobility do not commonly bring us very much further, for it may be questioned whether it is good for a people excitedly to articulate their ...

    The book traces in some detail Shaw’s work as a critic (puritanical opposition to Shakespeare) and as a dramatist. G K Chesterton was ideally placed to write this critical biography of the literary works and political views of George Bernard Shaw. He was a personal friend and yet an ardent opponent of Shaw’s progressive socialism. The lightness of tone and the humour of his oth...

Denn vor allem sein hellsichtiger Blick auf die Seelenzustände der Täter lässt den gewitzten katholischen Priester bei seinen Ermittlungen ein ums andere M...

    VARIED TYPES
    G. K. CHESTERTON
    One thing this prescient book achieves--and possibly the reason Chesterton wrote it--is to show just how varied such types can be. Our own time (and he must have foreseen it) for all its electronic wizardry and lightening communication, is devoid of much true diversity of personality, talent and perspective. The infantile nature of modern political debate is a perfect example. ...

Dieser bedroht das Leben des Millionärs Merton. Und die Sache ist überaus dringend, denn der Unbekannte hat bereits zwei Menschen auf dem Gewissen. Auch diese waren im Besitz dessen, was nun M...

    Vater Brown ist ein englischer katholischer Pfarrer, der als Hobby Kriminalfälle löst. Dies gelingt ihm, indem er sich in den Täter hineinversetzt, dabei das Verbrechen selbst begeht, wie er sagt. Dabei ist er aber weniger daran interessiert, Verbrecher der irdischen Gerechtigkeit auszuliefern, sondern er will sie zu Gott führen; eine freiwillige Beichte des Täters genügt ihm. ...
