À propos de cet e-book
In 'Tales of the Long Bow' by G.K. Chesterton, readers are invited into a world of whimsical and satirical short stories that explore themes of morality, justice, and societal norms. Chesterton's signature writing style blends elements of mystery, comedy, and political commentary, making each tale a thought-provoking and entertaining read. This collection of stories is set in the fictional English village of Beaconsfield, where eccentric characters and absurd situations bring to life Chesterton's unique perspective on contemporary issues. The narrative style is witty and engaging, with rich dialogue and clever twists that keep readers guessing until the very end. 'Tales of the Long Bow' is a classic work of early 20th-century literature that continues to captivate readers with its timeless charm and relevance.
À propos de l'auteur
Gilbert Keith Chesterton KC*SG (29 May 1874 - 14 June 1936) was an English writer, philosopher, Christian apologist, and literary and art critic. He has been referred to as the "prince of paradox". Of his writing style, Time observed: "Whenever possible Chesterton made his points with popular sayings, proverbs, allegories--first carefully turning them inside out." Chesterton created the fictional priest-detective Father Brown, and wrote on apologetics. Even some of those who disagree with him have recognised the wide appeal of such works as Orthodoxy and The Everlasting Man. Chesterton routinely referred to himself as an "orthodox" Christian, and came to identify this position more and more with Catholicism, eventually converting to Roman Catholicism from high church Anglicanism. Biographers have identified him as a successor to such Victorian authors as Matthew Arnold, Thomas Carlyle, John Henry Newman and John Ruskin.
