\n\n \nG. K. Chesterton was a literary giant of his age. With anexceptional intellect, he wrote about history, politics, economics, philosophy, social and literary criticism, and theology. He published essays, novels, biographies, short stories, and poetry, and the Christian classics Heretics, Orthodoxy, and The Everlasting Man, which C. S. Lewiscredits as instrumental in his conversion to Christianity.\n \nWith much of his finest material out of print or hard to find, modern readers have long needed a standard collection of his best thoughts.
