G. K. Chesterton. A Biography.
by Ffinch, Michael
- Used
- Hardcover
Harper & Row [1986]. Hard Cover. 369 p., index, plates. ‘Drawing upon recently discovered original sources-- letters, a Sherlock Holmes detective story, and several poems-- Michael Ffinch has taken the traditional view of Chesterton as the ‘jolly journalist,’ the master of pun and paradox, and turned it on its head. He shows that a man who has been generally acknowledged as a major literary figure only came to his perception of truth through a life of spiritual turmoil and intense personal suffering which culminated in his conversion to Roman Catholicism.’ Dj edges a bit worn; near fine. stock#101647.
