The Eternal Man

Gilbert Keith Chesterton is one of the most prominent English writers of the first half of the 20th century. His novels, stories, and essays have become classics, and his detective stories about Father Brown are particularly beloved. However, among Chesterton's... numerous treatises, «The Eternal Man» undoubtedly occupies the first place in terms of fame — an engaging journey into the past, an attempt to view our civilization, and specifically Christianity, with an unbiased perspective. Like other books by Chesterton, «The Eternal Man» is written in an elegant style and is rich in paradoxes and subtle humor; however, the themes and questions the author raises are quite serious — fundamental questions of love and faith. This edition includes not only the treatise «The Eternal Man» but also two essays: one about Saint Francis of Assisi and another about Saint Thomas Aquinas. All texts are presented in the translations of Natalia Leonidovna Trauberg and are accompanied by detailed commentary.
