Sobre este e-book
G. K. Chesterton's 'The New Jerusalem' is a captivating blend of social commentary, political philosophy, and theological reflection. Published in 1920, this work delves into Chesterton's vision of a society built on Christian principles amidst the societal upheavals following World War I. The author's distinct literary style, characterized by wit, paradoxical reasoning, and a keen eye for social criticism, shines through in this thought-provoking book. Through his exploration of the relationship between heaven and earth, Chesterton offers a compelling argument for the relevance of Christendom in modern times. His use of allegory and powerful imagery adds depth to his arguments, making 'The New Jerusalem' a compelling read for those interested in the intersection of religion and politics. In a world grappling with complex ethical issues and political unrest, Chesterton's insights remain eerily prescient and continue to hold relevance today.
Sobre o autor
Gilbert Keith Chesterton was born in London, England, in 1874. He began his education at St Paul's School, and later went on to study art at the Slade School, and literature at University College in London. Chesterton wrote a great deal of poetry, as well as works of social and literary criticism. Among his most notable books are The Man Who Was Thursday, a metaphysical thriller, and The Everlasting Man, a history of humankind's spiritual progress. After Chesterton converted to Catholicism in 1922, he wrote mainly on religious topics. Chesterton is most known for creating the famous priest-detective character Father Brown, who first appeared in "The Innocence of Father Brown." Chesterton died in 1936 at the age of 62.
