Selected Works of Gk Chesterton (Special Editions) pdf epub mobi txt 電子書 下載 2024
G. K. Chesterton was born in London in 1874. He went to St Paul's School and then on to the Slade School of Art. In 1900, he was asked to write a few magazine articles on art criticism, and from that beginning went on to become not only one of the most prolific writers of all time but, in the opinion of some, the best writer of the twentieth century. Chesterton, an absent-minded, overgrown elf of a man, standing 6 feet 4 inches tall and weighing around 21 stone, was a well-known figure invariably to be seen in voluminous cape and crumpled hat, with tiny glasses pinched to the end of his nose and swordstick in hand. Despite a chaotic life-style this was the genius who wrote The Everlasting Man, a book which led a young atheist named C. S. Lewis to become a Christian; The Napoleon of Notting Hill, a novel which inspired Michael Collins to lead a movement for Irish Independence; an essay in the Illustrated London News that inspired Mahatma Gandhi to lead a movement to end British colonial rule in India. He wrote countless books, poems, plays, novels and short stories - most famously those about his creation, the priest-detective Father Brown. In 1909 Chesterton moved with his wife to Beaconsfield, at that time a village near to London, and in 1922 he converted to Catholicism. He died on 14 June 1936, at his home and is buried in the Beaconsfield Catholic Cemetery.
這本書我在上海書城買的, 將近1500頁, 價格75元, 但完全物有所值, 因為G. K. Chesterton(1874 - 1936)是一位傑齣的英國作傢, 他的幽默和佯謬(paradox)令人難忘。他筆下的業餘偵探Father Brown貌不驚人, 甚至有些遲鈍, 可他的推理能力異乎尋常, 破案水平遠超職業警探, 連Flambeau, 一個有名的master criminal, 也甘拜下風(參看小說"The Blue Cross")。一個人被殺, 是不是隱形人乾的? 因為似乎沒人進入過死者的房間。Father Brown齣人意料, 解決瞭這件神秘案子(參見小說"The Invisible Man")。另外, "The Man Who Was Thursday"很可能是作者最有名的小說。
評分you just can't resist the wordsworth edition of anything, it's cheap and densely packed, a fairly suitable read for long trips or vacation
