LibriVox recording of "Heretics" by G. K. Chesterton, read
by Ray Clare.
The Author Gilbert Keith Chesterton was born in London,
England on the 29th of May, 1874. Though he considered
himself a mere "rollicking journalist," he was actually a
prolific and gifted writer in virtually every area of
literature. A man of strong opinions and enormously talented
at defending them, his exuberant personality nevertheless
allowed him to maintain warm friendships with people--such
as George Bernard Shaw and H. G. Wells--with whom he
vehemently disagreed. Chesterton had no difficulty standing
up for what he believed. He was one of the few journalists
to oppose the Boer War. His 1922 "Eugenics and Other Evils"
attacked what was at that time the most progressive of all
ideas, the idea that the human race could and should breed a
superior version of itself. In the Nazi experience, history
demonstrated the wisdom of his once "reactionary" views.
Chesterton wrote several works of Christian apologetics, the
best known of which are "Othodoxy", "Heretics", and "The
Everlasting Man". (Summary from Project Gutenberg)
