About this ebook
All Things Considered G. K. Chesterton - All Things Considered by G. K. Chesterton is a collection of essays dealing with various topics, such as human nature, current affairs, science and religion. It is a highly entertaining and insightful compilation of musings on a wide variety of topics. All Things Considered is a collection of essays about odds-and-ends of the era. His first essay is on the empheral and how insignificant the essays all are -- and how their worst fault is that they are so serious, since he could not expend the effort to make them funny. All Things Considered is a collection of Chesterton's essays for London Daily News and covers a wide variety of topics. Some of the topics are light-hearted, while others are a bit more serious. But even when he's serious, he's not ponderous.
About the author
Gilbert Keith Chesterton was an English writer, philosopher, lay theologian, and literary and art critic. He was educated at St. Paul's, and went to art school at University College London. In 1900, he was asked to contribute a few magazine articles on art criticism, and went on to become one of the most prolific writers of all time. He wrote a hundred books, contributions to 200 more, hundreds of poems, including the epic Ballad of the White Horse, five plays, five novels, and some two hundred short stories, including a popular series featuring the priest-detective, Father Brown. In spite of his literary accomplishments, he considered himself primarily a journalist. He wrote over 4000 newspaper essays, including 30 years worth of weekly columns for the Illustrated London News, and 13 years of weekly columns for the Daily News. He also edited his own newspaper, G.K.'s Weekly. Chesterton was equally at ease with literary and social criticism, history, politics, economics, philosophy, and theology.
