Immortalized in these famous stories, G.K. Chesterton's endearing amateur sleuth has entertained countless generations of readers. For, as his admirers know, Father Brown's cherubic face and unworldly simplicity, his glasses and his huge umbrella, disguise a quite uncanny understanding of the criminal mind at work.

Evan MacIan is a tall, dark-haired, blue-eyed Scottish Highlander and a devout Roman Catholic.... James Turnbull is a short, red-haired, gray-eyed Scottish Lowlander and a devout but naive atheist.... The two meet when MacIan smashes the window of the street office where Turnbull publishes an atheist journal. This act of rage occurs when MacIan sees posted on the shop's window a sheet that blasphemes the Virgin Mary, presumably implying she was an adulteress who gave birth to an illegitimate Jesus. When MacIan challenges Turnbull to a duel to the death, Turnbull is overjoyed. For twenty years no one had paid the slightest attention to his Bible bashing. Now at last someone is taking him seriously!

It is not widely known that the author of the Father Brown detective stories, Orthodoxy and The Everlasting Man was also an accomplished man of letters and a literary critic of the first order. This volume brings back into print GKC's masterful Critical Study of Charles Dickens, his Appreciations and Criticisms of the Works of Charles Dickens which is made up of the individual introductions he wrote for Dickens' complete works, and The Victorian Age in Literature. Among three additional, smaller pieces will be found Chesterton's article in The Encyclopaedia Brittanica on Charles Dickens, and a speech Chesterton gave at a Dickens Commemoration Dinner entitled "The Immortal Memory of Charles Dickens".The reader of this volume will not only learn much more about Charles Dickens and other Victorian writers, but also about the fascinating mental universe in which Dickens wrote his literary masterpieces. And, finally, as always with G.K. Chesterton, one will learn to see with fresh eyes that magical universe we all inhabit but which both Dickens and Chesterton have helped us to see in all its variety and splendor.

The Collected Works of G. K. Chesterton, Vol. 15: Chesterton on Dickens

Alzina S. Dale

Ignatius Pr

A collection of G. K. Chesterton s provocative writings on a subject close to his heart--the family, and the corresponding themes of men and women, children, sex, marriage and divorce. The family was a central element in Chesterton s vision, a unifying theme of his literary work. His eloquent defense of the sacredness of the home is even more applicable in our times because of the tremendous moral problems in our society that threaten the modern family. Chesterton s insights will be a deep inspiration to married couples, those preparing for marriage, priests, teachers, and anyone else interested in marriage and the family. An ideal gift book. Author: G.K. Chesterton Format: Paperback, 279 pages Publisher: Ignatius Press ISBN: 9780898703146

This next volume in Chesterton's series of collected works contains four of his books and four shorter "English" essays. Three of the books are accounts of his travels, two to Ireland and one to Palestine via Egypt. The fourth book is Chesteron's own effort to explain English history to Englishmen as well as to other interested parties, particularly the Irish. All of these books date from about 1920, except Christendom in Ireland, which concerns the 1932 Dublin Eucharistic Congress, which Chesterton attended.
