DESCRIPTION:
George Bernard Shaw, Chesterton's "friendly enemy" according to Time, said of him, "He was a man of colossal genius." Biographers have identified him as a successor to such Victorian authors as Matthew Arnold, Thomas Carlyle, Cardinal John Henry Newman, and John Ruskin. K. Chesterton, as a political thinker, cast aspersions on both Progressivism and Conservatism, saying, "The whole modern world has divided itself into Conservatives and Progressives. Chesterton is often referred to as the "prince of paradox." Time magazine, in a review of a biography of Chesterton, observed of his writing style: "Whenever possible Chesterton made his points with popular sayings, proverbs, allegories&mdas
While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself.

"More than expected" according to Daniel Kulp. I am a GKC fan but I avoided this book because basically is sounded boring and dated. I was wrong. As usual Chesterton gets to the root of the question by thinking about it the right way. Before asking "why people get divorced?" he asks "what is marriage and why would anyone seek it?"He builds a solid reasoned foundation for vows and for the family itself.I greatly enjoyed this book and it made me think larger and deeper of my family and my marriage..

Pro or Con? kgunn66 I'm normally a big fan of the venerable GK Chesterton, and I did enjoy the read, but I don't think this series of essays was his most coherent work. Chesterton is known for his clever turns of phrases, but in these essays, it felt like he was concentrating more on the clever turn of phrase than actually making his point.
