Heretics (Unabridged)

This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice.

G. K. Chesterton's 'Heretics' isn't a novel, but a collection of essays published in 1905. It critiques prominent figures of the time, primarily writers and thinkers, whom Chesterton saw as 'heretics' – those challenging traditional values. He engages with figures like H.G. Wells and George Bernard Shaw, criticizing their views on topics ranging from religion and science to social issues and art. Through witty prose and paradoxical arguments, Chesterton defends his own beliefs in Christianity, tradition, and human nature. While disagreeing with these 'heretics,' he often acknowledges their intelligence and avoids mere dismissal. 'Heretics' offers a window into the intellectual landscape of the early 20th century and a glimpse into Chesterton's unique and thought-provoking perspective.
