C.S. Lewis and Friends: We come pretty close to stocking every book in print by C.S. Lewis, and many of those about him. If you love Lewis (we count ourselves among those who think he’s one of the greatest Christian apologists of all time), you’ll probably be interested in a sampling of books by “friends”—J.R.R. Tolkien, George MacDonald, Owen Barfield, and Dorothy Sayers.

Seller ID: 180554

ISBN: 0898709458

Binding: Paper Back

Here for the first time are two of Chesterton's classics in one volume. We've featured both books separately, but here's a refresher: Prince of twentieth-century Thomists, Etienne Gilson said G.K.C.'s book was 'the best ever written on Thomas.' And his St. Francis not only brings the saint, but also the saint's world into vivid relief. 320 pp

Twelve Types : A Collection of Mini-Biographies

By: CHESTERTON, G. K.

Price: $16.95

Publisher: Ihs Press: December 2002

Seller ID: 144535

ISBN: 0971489483

Condition: New

Perhaps in accord with his own induplicatable type, Chesterton delivers far more in this slim volume than a mere biographical telling of various literary, religious and historical figures. First published in 1902 and reprinted here with most of the original formatting intact, these essays help us see how very particular (and often peculiar) types have contributed to the deepening of orthodox faith -- simply by doing their work as writers, artists, royalty, reformers and, well, saints (we speak of Francis here). Chesterton's cast is not conclusive, but it does shed a rather invigorating light o...

Publisher: Dover Publications: June 2006

Seller ID: 146158

ISBN: 0486449149

Binding: Paper Back

Condition: New

G. K. Chesterton, the "Prince of Paradox," is at his witty best in this collection of twenty essays and articles from the turn of the twentieth century. Focusing on "heretics" -- those who pride themselves on their superiority to conservative views -- Chesterton appraises prominent figures who fall into that category from the literary and art worlds. Luminaries such as Rudyard Kipling, George Bernard Shaw, H. G. Wells, and James McNeill Whistler come under the author's scrutiny, where they meet with equal measures of his characteristic wisdom and good humor.
In addition to incisive assessme...

" . . . dazzlingly executed and richly atmospheric." -- The Armchair Detective
A prolific and popular writer, G. K. Chesterton (1874-1936) is best known as the creator of detective-priest Father Brown (even though Chesterton's mystery stories constitute only a small fraction of his writings). The eight adventures in this classic British mystery trace the activities of Horne Fisher, the man who knew too much, and his trusted friend Harold March. Although Horne's keen mind and powerful deductive gifts make him a natural sleuth, his inquiries have a way of developing moral complications...

The Everlasting Man

Publisher: Ignatius Press: April 1993

Seller ID: 184583

ISBN: 0898704448

Binding: Paper Back

Condition: New

Chesterton's totally idiosyncratic, typically brilliant history of mankind and of the Christian religion, which concludes with the conviction that Christianity ''met the mythological search for romance by being a story, and the philosophical search for truth by being a true story.'' For C.S. Lewis, the book was one of the milestones on his path to conversion. It is probably the masterpiece, if you had to choose only one, of the man Etienne Gilson called ''one of the deepest thinkers who ever lived.'' 276 pp.

Orthodoxy

Price: $12.95

Publisher: Ignatius Press: July 1995

Seller ID: 184605

ISBN: 0898705525

Binding: Paper Back

Condition: New

Surely one of the most famous apologies for Christian orthodoxy of the modern age. Chesterton's dazzling use of metaphor and paradox fits comfortably with his conviction that the world is neither unreasonable nor reasonable, but nearly reasonable, ''a trap for logicians.'' This silent ''swerving from accuracy by an inch'' is the uncanny element in everything. Chesterton's prose dances, enchants and usually convinces, even as our ''nearly satisfied'' reason turns to intuition and imagination in order to follow his arguments to their conclusions. 168 pp.

Edited by Dale Ahlquist

Hilaire Belloc called "Lepanto" Chesterton's greatest poem and the greatest poem of his generation. But not only have English classes neglected this masterpiece of rhyme and meter, History classes have neglected the story of the pivotal battle upon which the poem is based.

This book brings together the poem, the historical background of the famous battle, a riveting account of the battle itself, and a discussion of its historical consequences. The poem is fully annotated, and is supplemented with two interesting essays by Chesterto...

The Ballad of the White Horse

Price: $21.95

Publisher: Ignatius Press: September 2001

Seller ID: 179465

ISBN: 0898708907

Binding: Hardcover

Condition: New

The Ballad of the White Horse is one of the last great epic poems in the English language. On the one hand it describes King Alfred's battle against the Danes in 878. On the other hand it is a timeless allegory about the ongoing battle between Christianity and the forces of nihilistic heathenism. Filled with colorful characters, thrilling battles and mystical visions, it is as lively as it is profound.

Chesterton incorporates brilliant imagination, atmosphere, moral concern, chronological continuity, wisdom and fancy. He makes his stanzas reverberate with sound, and hurries ...

When two men decide to fight for their respective beliefs, they discover to their astonishment that an unbelieving world won't let them, and they find themselves partners and fugitives from the law in this steampunk satire. Penned by G.K. Chesterton in 1909, this whimsical and biting novel eerily foreshadows a world in which "tolerance" is the only god and all those who believe ideas are worth dying for are forced to stand together to defend freedom of speech and belief.

The three great apologies of G.K. Chesterton in one volume: Heretics, Orthodoxy & The Everlasting Man.

Gilbert Keith Chesterton has become synonymous with modern Christian apologetics. But his impact goes beyond just those interested in a defense of Christian thought. His writings have influenced such diverse authors as C.S. Lewis, Marshall McLuhan, and Jorge Luis Borges, and remains a subtle and unseen presence in contemporary Catholic thought. At his funeral, Ronald Knox said "All of this generation has grown up under Chesterton's influence so completely that we do not even know wh...

Because of this, alcohol sales to the poor are effectively prohibited, while the rich can get alcoholic drinks "under a medical certificate." The plot centres on the adventures of Humphrey Pump and Captain Patrick Dalroy, who roam the country in their cart with a barrel of rum in an attempt to evade Prohibition, exploiting loopholes in the law to temporarily ...
