Download or read book A Miscellany of Men written by Gilbert Keith Chesterton and published by Good Press. This book was released on 2021-04-11 with total page 155 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: G.K. Chesterton's "A Miscellany of Men" is a collection of essays on various topics written by one of the English language's finest essayists. Chesterton covers a wide range of timely truths and makes insightful and illuminating observations in the Miscellany. It is a snapshot of thought on twentieth-century Europe (and the world) by one of Europe's sharpest wits and ablest pens, encompassing subjects ranging from literature to philosophy, history to social criticism. This book includes 39 brief sketches of individuals, each of whom illustrates an aspect of contemporary society, with chapter titles ranging from "The Miser and His Friends" to "The Red Reactionary," "The Separatist and Sacred Things" to "The New Theologian" and "The Romantic in the Rain." Social, historical, and religious thought all play important roles in this book, which addresses a wide range of issues from the sane and healthy perspective of Chesterton's integral, unapologetic Catholic Faith. The book is notable for its intent to chastise some of capitalism's unpleasant truths while also condemning inhumane, bureaucratic socialism.
Download or read book A Miscellany of Men written by G. K. Chesterton and published by Aeterna Press. This book was released on 1912 with total page 175 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Miscellany of Men may be his hardest work to define, as it deals with a huge array of issues, using "personal types" as illustration. It would only be bewildering, if there was not these common threads: First that these types still exist, and the same faulty reasoning applies to issues of our day, and second, that underlying all of this is a firm and reasoned defense of democracy in a sense very close to that of the American Founding Fathers.

Download or read book English and British History in 100 Bite size Chunks written by Paul Hodson and published by Troubador Publishing Ltd. This book was released on 2020-08-25 with total page 392 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Very often, history is thought of as that lesson we suffered through at school, made into boring facts and figures rather than the rich and interesting tales that actually comprise it. In English and British History in 100 Bite-size Chunks, history is enlivened and broken down into readable ‘chunks’ that anyone can read, and learn, at their leisure. Beginning at the beginning, with the physical formation of these lands, it ends where we are now, with our current lifestyle, government, society, beliefs, complexities, fears and hopes. It charts the development of England’s characteristics through the great and the good, and ordinary men and women; those who often get the glory and those who lived lives more hidden from history’s storytellers. It brings to life people, places, events and ideas; and successes and failures. This is not a story of England in splendid isolation but a more rounded picture touching on the influences from and on other places and nations, for good or bad, near and far in geography and time. 100 Bitesize Chunks are followed by a recognition of historic themes and some conclusions, and just a glimpse of the possible future history of a nation. A commentary on history itself, how we know, how ‘history works’, what we think of it, and how we care for it – or don’t care for it, this book is an encouragement to study history actively through the evidence we can see and touch and interpret, in museums and in its real locations. Ideal for anyone returning to history or for an enthusiast!
