Download or read book Alarms and Discursions written by Gilbert Keith Chesterton and published by Jazzybee Verlag. This book was released on 1927 with total page 98 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If Mr. Chesterton had been permitted to have his own way this handful of papers would have been sent out under the title of "Gargoyles." Perhaps the publisher foresaw horror upon the faces of really unimaginative readers when once brought face to face with a "monster" title; so it was changed to "Alarms and discursions," as indefinite and capable of possibilities as one could wish. "Fragments of futile journalism or fleeting impressions," Mr. Chesterton calls his essays. "This row of shapeless and ungainly monsters . . . does not consist of separate idols cut out capriciously in lonely valleys or various islands. These monsters are meant for the gargoyles of a definite cathedral. I have to carve the gargoyles, because I can carve nothing else; I leave to others the angels and the arches and the spires." Forty essays, in which excellent common sense and brilliantly phrased wisdom mingle with sheer nonsense.

In a world of mansions, expensive prep schools, and elite colleges, where money means favors and the right price will buy a ticket into or out of just about any situation, Trent Moreau is living easy. But when he and his brother, Crewe, ruin one of their father’s executive gatherings, his brother is sent to rehab, and Trent is forced to live on campus (and on a budget) for the foreseeable future. Enter seventeen-year-old Summer Evans, resident psychopath at Crewe’s facility. The previous year, Summer’s best friend was found dead in her backyard swimming pool. Summer, the only known witness and primary suspect, remembers nothing about what happened that night. To the rest of the world, Summer is a ticking time bomb, but the more Trent gets to know her, and the more he learns about the events surrounding her friend’s mysterious death, the less sense it all makes. What if Summer isn’t guilty at all? What if she’s innocent, and he can prove it? But someone out there doesn’t want Trent discovering the truth, and the more he investigates, the deeper he spirals into the egotism and entitlement edging his own privileged lifestyle. Summer is everything Trent shouldn’t want, everything he doesn’t need, but everything he can’t resist, and clearing her name is about to become his newest obsession.
