---------

The book All Things Considered is a highly entertaining and insightful compilation of musings and essays on a wide variety of topics for London Daily News and covers a wide variety of topics.

Some of the topics in "All Things Considered" are light-hearted (for example, when he talks about canvassing for votes), while others are a bit more serious (basically when he starts talking about religion or science). But even when he's serious, he's not ponderous. Then again, he does say in the second paragraph of the book:

"Their the essays] chief vice is that so many of them are very serious; because I had no time to make them flippant. It is so easy to be solemn; it is hard to be frivolous."

His brilliance leaves many breathless with awe, but most of the time he leaves them feeling like an intellectual midget

He seems to connect the most unconnectable things together, throw them into the mix, and create something wonderfully insightful. And he maintains a stylish humor while doing so.

G.K. Chesterton was an astute observer of human nature, a genuine eccentric and wit as well as a lovely prose stylist, so there are plenty of thought-provoking snippets to be gleaned throughout the collection, as well deeper offerings on human dignity, wealth and privilege, humour, democracy, identity, nationalism and - of course - religion and the Catholic faith.

Funny, witty, absolutely insightful. There's even a chapter on fairy-tales.

Notă biografică

Gilbert Keith Chesterton (1874 - 1936), better known as G. K. Chesterton, was an English writer, poet, philosopher, dramatist, journalist, orator, lay theologian, biographer and literary and art critic. Chesterton is often referred to as the "prince of paradox". Time magazine has observed of his writing style: "Whenever possible Chesterton made his points with popular sayings, proverbs, allegories-first carefully turning them inside out." Chesterton is well known for his fictional priest-detective Father Brown and for his reasoned apologetics. Even some of those who disagree with him have recognized the wide appeal of such works as Orthodoxy and The Everlasting Man. Chesterton, as a political thinker, cast aspersions on both Progressivism and Conservatism, saying, "The whole modern world has divided itself into Conservatives and Progressives. The business of Progressives is to go on making mistakes. The business of the Conservatives is to prevent the mistakes from being corrected." Chesterton routinely referred to himself as an "orthodox" Christian and came to identify this position more and more with Catholicism, eventually converting to Catholicism from High Church Anglicanism. George Bernard Shaw, Chesterton's "friendly enemy" according to Time, said of him, "He was a man of colossal genius."
