Part spiritual autobiography, part apologetics, Orthodoxy is G.K.
Chesterton's account of his own journey to faith. Chesterton didn't
set out to write a defense of Christian thought, instead he hoped
to recount how he personally came to faith. However, in doing so,
he penned one of the great classics of Christian writing, a book
that has influenced countless people and continues to speak
compellingly to our modern day. Chesterton writes about his journey
of faith with wit, charm, and a razor-sharp intellect, undermining
casual assumptions and lazy speculations in a relentless search for
truth and meaning. Orthodoxy is the latest title in the Essential
Wisdom Library, a series of books that seeks to bring spiritual
wisdom - both modern and ancient - to today's readers. Featuring a
foreword by Jon Sweeney, this new edition of the classic text is a
must read for seekers and believers alike.
Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.

Jane Austen, one of the nation’s most beloved authors, whose face
adorns our currency, surely needs no introduction, but while many
are familiar with her groundbreaking novels, and despite lending
its name to a film adaptation of Lady Susan in 2016, her burlesque
Love and Freindship is an unjustly neglected gem of satirical
comedy. Written when she was still in her teens, Love and
Freindship is a fascinating, light-hearted epistolary work that
shows Austen’s wit developing into the satirical prowess she is
remembered for, and casts the novels with which her name is so
associated in a new light.
G.K.Chesterton (1874-1936), was one of the great Catholic writers
of the twentieth century. He brought a distinctive Catholic
perspective to scores of books and articles - even to the genre of
detective novels in the famous Father Brown mysteries. As this
collection shows, Chestertons writing contains a spiritual
dimension. In his ability to combine matters of great seriousness
with great humour the contours of his distinctive and "paradoxical"
spirituality emerge.
