Heretics - (Dover Books on Western Philosophy) by G K Chesterton (Paperback)

This collection of essays by G.K.

Chesterton is a must-read for anyone interested in the works of prominent literary and art figures from the turn of the 20th century.

With his characteristic wit and wisdom, Chesterton provides incisive assessments of luminaries such as Rudyard Kipling, George Bernard Shaw, H.G.

Wells, and James McNeill Whistler.

The essays also contain observations on wider themes, including the relationship between science and savagery, simplicity and complexity, and the institution of the family.

Chesterton's writing is both sardonic and jolly, making this book a vintage read for anyone looking to gain a deeper understanding of the cultural and intellectual landscape of the early 20th century.
