G. K. Chesterton; Malcolm Brennan Twelve Types A Collection of Mini-Biographies G. K. Chesterton
IHS Press 2002-12-01 0971489483 / 9780971489486 Paperback New Paperback
New; Twelve Types is a collection of short biographical essays, by one of 20th century England's greatest essayists. In keeping with the spirit of IHS Press, that there is a Catholic way to look at everything, this book figures as Tolstoy, St. Francis, Savonarola, William Morris, and others, in the history of the West and from an unabashedly Catholic perspective. With typical wit and flair, Chesterton accomplished what modern biography most often fails to do: discuss the important and central elements of the characters it presumes to examine, while omitting tedious discussion on matters of little import. Chesterton looks at the souls, the characters, and the lives of some of the West's most important gigures, providing modern readers with a sane and Catholic orientation to their approach to these great individuals.; New
