Chesterton - Volume 16 - The Autobiography

Product Description

Here is a unique two-in-one bargain: a book by Chesterton and a book about Chesterton. Those who know and appreciate Chesterton will certainly want this book. Those who don't know Chesterton but are intelligent and educated enough to have their curiosity aroused will find this a nearly irresistible opportunity to see who this man was who everybody seems to quote.

They will not be disappointed. A special bonus in this edition is the inclusion of 37 rare photos of Chesterton, many of which have never been seen before in book form. The photos include portraits as well as scenes from G.K.C.'s everyday life.

"The whole meaning of Chesterton's life was the discovery, the appreciation of reality. But his work was made up of bequeathing to others the treasure of knowledge and certitude upon which he had come." -- Hilaire Belloc
