Zusatztext

<p>Gilbert Keith Chesterton,(29 May 1874 14 June 1936) better known as G. K. Chesterton, was an eng writer, lay theologian, poet, philosopher, dramatist, journalist, orator, literary and art critic, biographer, and Christian apologist. Chesterton is often referred to as the 'prince of paradox.' Time magazine, in a review of a biography of Chesterton, observed of his writing style: 'Whenever possible Chesterton made his points with popular sayings, proverbs, allegoriesfirst carefully turning them inside out.' G.K. Chesterton's The Crimes of England is his response to the Great War in which he holds his own nation to account - a move which might be considered risky. Except, of course, that most of the crimes he details turn out to be Englands past alliances with and sympathies towards gery in general and Prussia in particular. (Excerpt from Wikipedia)</p>
