Personal impressions of the author's visit to Ireland under the direction of the War Aims Committee. Mr. Chesterton understands teh Irish thoroughly and says many fine things finely in this refreshing and stimulating book.

Edicion de Alejandro y Jaime Valero. Comparándolos con otros, puede que algunos relatos del padre Brown parezcan ingenuos. Pero es que él no es un detective al uso, ni tampoco sus historias. No podemos leer a Chesterton como a Agatha Christie o a Conan Doyle, porque aquél tiene intenciones muy...

La mayoría de los libros de historia se escriben para corregir otros libros de historia. La Breve historia de Inglaterra no es una excepción. Concéntrico a fuerza de excentricidad, irónico por convencido, paradójico por aparentemente extemporáneo, Chesterton quiso escribir una historia popular...

British writer GILBERT KEITH CHESTERTON (1874-1936) expounded prolifically about his wide-ranging philosophies-he is impossible to categorize as "liberal" or "conservative," for instance-across a wide variety of avenues: he was an arts critic, historian, playwright, novelist, columnist, and poet....

For the great majority of people here and now do naturally write romanticism, as we see it in...

If any one wishes to form the fullest estimate of the real character and influence of the great man whose name is prefixed to these remarks, he will not find it in his novels, splendid as they are, or in his ethical views, clearly and finely as they are conceived and expanded. He will find it best...

GEORGE FREDERICK WATTS was born on 23rd February 1817. His whole rise and career synchronizes roughly with the rise and career of the nineteenth century. As a rule, no doubt, such chronological parallels are peculiarly fanciful and unmeaning. Nothing can be imagined more idle, in a general way, than...

(Auszug): "Der große Muscari, der originellste aller toskanischen Dichter, betrat schnellen Schrittes sein Lieblingsrestaurant, das eine herrliche Aussicht auf das Mittelländische Meer bot, mit einer Sonnenplache überdeckt und von kleinen Zitronen- und Orangenbäumen umsäumt war. Kellner...

(Auszug): "Zwischen dem Silberbande des Morgens und dem grünen, glitzernden Bande der See legte das Dampfboot in Harwich an und ließ einen Schwarm Volkes entweichen, aus dem der Mann, dem wir folgen müssen, keineswegs hervorstach – noch es zu tun wünschte. Außer einem leichten Gegensatze...
