Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Ball and the Cross is a novel by G. K. Chesterton. The title refers to a more worldly and rationalist worldview, represented by a ball or sphere, and the cross representing Christianity. The first chapters of the book were serialized from 1905 to 1906 with the completed work published in 1909. The novel's beginning involves debates about rationalism and religion between a Professor Lucifer and a monk named Michael. A part of this section was quoted in Pope John Paul I's Illustrissimi letter to G. K. Chesterton. Much of the rest of the book concerns the dueling, figurative and somewhat more literal, of a Jacobite Catholic named Evan Maclan and an atheist Socialist named James Turnbull. Lynette Hunter has argued that the novel is more sympathetic to Maclan, but does indicate Maclan is also presented as in some ways too extreme.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "[...]side of the ship, his spectacles shining with intellectual excitement. "What can it be? It might of course be merely a----" Then a shriek indescribable broke out of him of a sudden, and he flung up his arms like a lost spirit. The monk took the helm in a tired way; he did not seem much astonished for he came from an ignorant part of the world in which it is not uncommon for lost spirits to shriek when they see the curious shape which the Professor had just seen on the top of the mysterious ball, but he took the helm only just in time, and by driving it hard to the left he prevented the flying ship from smashing into St. Paul's Cathedral. A plain of sad-coloured cloud lay along the level of the top of the Cathedral dome, so that the ball and the cross looked like a buoy riding on a leaden sea. As the flying ship swept towards it, this plain of cloud looked as dry and definite and rocky as any grey desert. Hence it gave to the mind and body a sharp and unearthly sensation when the ship cut and sank into the cloud as into any common mist, a thing without resistance. There was, as it were, a deadly shock in the fact that there was no shock. It was as if they had cloven into ancient cliffs like so much butter. But sensations awaited them which were much stranger than those of sinking through the solid earth. For a moment their eyes and nostrils were stopped with [...]".

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The story begins with a theological discussion in an airship, whose owner, Lucifer, nearly runs it against the ball and the cross which surmount St. Paul's, London. Here he leaves the other occupant of the ship, an old hermit, who appears again at the end of the story. Then the reader begins to follow the adventures of two Scotchmen, Maclan, the romantic highlander and Catholic, and Turnbull, the rational lowlander and atheist. Because the latter has spoken disrespectfully of the Virgin, the former challenges him to fight, and the story becomes the record of their attempt to do so, in spite of the interference of a world which is too indifferent to either religion or atheism to allow a conflict for such causes.

Book excerpt: The flying ship of Professor Lucifer sang through the skies like a silver arrow; the bleakwhite steel of it, gleaming in the bleak blue emptiness of the evening. That it was far abovethe earth was no expression for it; to the two men in it, it seemed to be far above the stars.The professor had himself invented the flying machine, and had also invented nearlyeverything in it. Every sort of tool or apparatus had, in consequence, to the full, thatfantastic and distorted look which belongs to the miracles of science. For the world ofscience and evolution is far more nameless and elusive and like a dream than the world ofpoetry and religion; since in the latter images and ideas remain themselves eternally, whileit is the whole idea of evolution that identities melt into each other as they do in anightmare.All the tools of Professor Lucifer were the ancient human tools gone mad, grown intounrecognizable shapes, forgetful of their origin, forgetful of their names. That thing whichlooked like an enormous key with three wheels was really a patent and very deadlyrevolver. That object which seemed to be created by the entanglement of two corkscrewswas really the key. The thing which might have been mistaken for a tricycle turned upsidedown was the inexpressibly important instrument to which the corkscrew was the key. Allthese things, as I say, the professor had invented; he had invented everything in the flyingship, with the exception, perhaps, of himself. This he had been born too late actually toinaugurate, but he believed at least, that he had considerably improved it.
