Download or read book The Quotable Father Brown written by Pasquale J. Accardo and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 159 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Sherlock Holmes is the most recognizable character in world literature - more so than Hamlet and Leopold Bloom - and even more than Frodo. In his original incarnation, he is the greatest detective ever, and this has continued through his multifarious resurrections in diverse media. In any study of the classic British mystery, G.K. Chesterton's Father Brown easily ranks second, while actually being consistently more logical than the immortal Holmes. Chesterton helped to both define the rules for writing detective fiction and also assiduously kept to those ideas of fairness whereas Holmes frequently violated them. In addition, Father Brown - despite his vow of celibacy - sired a legion of clerical detectives of various creeds who with more or less success juggled their pastoral duties with their forensic avocations. The present volume attempts to collect a flavoring of the wit and wisdom of the famed priest detective - with sayings both by and about him. Not unexpectedly, the collection also provides a window onto the wit and wisdom of his creator. While quotations always lose something when removed from their context, their isolation might also highlight a layer of meaning otherwise concealed. G.K. Chesterton was a genius cut from a whole cloth; every selection of his work in various genres somehow turns out to be an accurate reflection of the magnificent and gargantuan whole. Chestertonians and Brownians should find this work a useful or at least enjoyable walk through the dark but illumined groves of the British mystery."-- Publisher's description.
Download or read book The Quotable Chesterton written by Kevin Belmonte and published by HarperChristian + ORM. This book was released on 2010-12-29 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: G. K. Chesterton was a literary giant of his age. With an exceptional intellect, he wrote about history, politics, economics, philosophy, social and literary criticism, and theology. He published essays, novels, biographies, short stories, and poetry, and the Christian classics Heretics, Orthodoxy, and The Everlasting Man, which C. S. Lewis credits as instrumental in his conversion to Christianity. With much of his finest material out of print or hard to find, modern readers have long needed a standard collection of his best thoughts. Kevin Belmonte’s The Quotable Chesterton brings them to you arranged alphabetically by topic, with complete original source documentation. There are entries from Adventure to Cheese, Politics to Émile Zola, interspersed with essays about Chesterton’s life and times. Hundreds of passages drawn from Chesterton’s fiction, poetry, essays, and other books showcase a man the New York Times hailed as a “brilliant English essayist” and George Bernard Shaw called a “colossal genius.” Endorsements: “There isn’t a writer who gets me pacing and smiling and thinking like G.K. Chesterton. His every paradigm shift is an adjustment to my mental compass, and so a gift.” —DONALD MILLER, author of the New York Times bestsellers A Million Miles in a Thousand Years and Blue Like Jazz “Over the years, I have delivered thousands of lectures, speeches, talks, and sermons; I have written hundreds of articles, essays, books, and reviews; it is an exceedingly rare occasion when any of them should fail to contain the words ‘Chesterton once said.’ Kevin Belmonte here reveals that fountain of wit, wisdom, and wonder, G.K. Chesterton, in all his irresistibly, irrepressibly, quotable splendor.”—GEORGE GRANT, Pastor, Parish Presbyterian Church, and Chancellor, New College Franklin

The umbrella was a black and prosaic bundle long past repair, the hat was a broad-curved black hat, clerical but not common in England, the man was the very embodiment Of all that is homely and helpless.
