The Everlasting Man

Autor G. K. Chesterton
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 23 iun 2013
The Everlasting Man is a history ofmankind, Christ and Christianity written byG. K. Chesterton. It is to some extent adeliberate rebuttal of H. G. Wells' "Outlineof History," disputing Wells' portrayals ofhuman life and civilization as a seamlessdevelopment from animal life and of JesusChrist as merely another charismaticfigure. Whereas "Orthodoxy" detailedChesterton's own spiritual journey, in thisbook he tries to illustrate the spiritualjourney of humanity, or at least of Westerncivilization.

Notă biografică

G. K. Chesterton (1874-1936) was a prolific English writer, philosopher, lay theologian, and literary and art critic. He is best known in mystery circles as the creator of the fictional priest-detective Father Brown and for the metaphysical thriller The Man Who Was Thursday. Often referred to as "the prince of paradox," Chesterton frequently made his points by turning familiar sayings and proverbs inside out. Chesterton attended the Slade School of Art, a department of University College London, where he took classes in illustration and literature, though he did not complete a degree in either subject. In 1895, at the age of twenty-one, he began working for the London publisher George Redway. A year later he moved to another publisher, T. Fisher Unwin, where he undertook his first work in journalism, illustration, and literary criticism. In addition to writing fifty-three Father Brown stories, Chesterton authored articles and books of social criticism, philosophy, theology, economics, literary criticism, biography, and poetry.
