(P/B) AUTOBIOGRAPHY

Παρουσίαση

In Autobiography Chesterton describes his happy childhood, the intellectual doubts and morbidities of his youth and his search for a true vocation. He includes many anecdotes about his literary friends, Henry James, George Bernard Shaw, and H G Wells. But it is his quest for religious conviction and his conversion to Catholicism that is central to his story which he tells with great modesty, gentleness and intelligence. (From the publisher)
