En savoir plus sur le livre

G. K. Chesterton emerged as a formidable literary figure in 1900, known for his diverse writings and strong patriotic views, yet he notably opposed the Boer War. His defense of 'penny dreadfuls' and criticism of both capitalism and socialism highlighted his unique perspective. This enhanced Centennial Edition of his brother Cecil's 1908 biography includes extensive notes and appendices, featuring the famous debate on socialism with H. G. Wells and Bernard Shaw, along with Chesterton's witty essay "On Wells and a Glass of Beer."
