Paperback. Many begged Hilaire Belloc to write a full biography of G.K. Chesterton; he always declined. When he finally wrote this short book, he professed that it was but "notes of a friend"-not formal biography in any sense but a series of considerations on Chesterton's writing style, insights, and propensities. He writes: "My chief claim to know and interpret Chesterton is, of course, a permanent and active personal friendship, through which we were very close companions for more than 30 years and during nearly the whole of his literary activity." Chesterton and Belloc were closely aligned in their thought on many topics, especially the evils of modern-day capitalism: "The group to which he and I belonged recognized that the main social event of our generation was the destruction of freedom through the universal growth of capitalist monopoly, and the ruin of economic independence in the mass of private citizens." Together they contributed enormously to the economic philosophy called distributism, which seeks the concrete, practical implementation of Catholic social doctrine.Speaking of Chesterton's conversion to Catholicism, he explains that his friend "approached the Catholic Church gradually but by a direct road. He first saw the city from afar off, then approached it with interest and at last entered. Few of the great conversions in our history have been so deliberate or so mature. It will be for posterity to judge the magnitude of the event. We are too near it to see it in scale." Belloc clearly saw the tremendous impact Chesterton's conversion would have on the rest of the twentieth century and beyond. Like C.S. Lewis, Chesterton was able to find fresh language and new insights with which to advance the claims of Christianity.As it has not been readily available for some time, Os Justi Press is pleased to make this short volume easily accessible again.

Información sobre el derecho de desistimiento
Derecho legal de desistimiento
Tiene derecho a rescindir este contrato en un plazo de 14 días sin dar ningún motivo.
El periodo de desistimiento vencerá a los 14 días desde que usted, o un tercero que no sea el transportista e indicado por usted, adquiera la posesión física del último bien o del último lote o pieza.
Para ejercer el derecho de desistimiento, complete de forma electrónica y envíe una declaración clara en nuestro sitio web, desde "Mis compras" en "Mi cuenta". Le enviaremos sin demora un acuse de recibo de dicho desistimiento a través de un soporte duradero (por ejemplo, por correo electrónico).
Para cumplir con el plazo de desistimiento, basta con que envíe su comunicación relativa al ejercicio del derecho de desistimiento antes de que venza el periodo de desistimiento.
Efectos del desistimiento
Si rescinde este contrato, le reembolsaremos todos los pagos que hayamos recibido de usted, incluidos los gastos de envío (excepto los gastos adicionales que surjan si elige un tipo de envío que no sea el tipo de envío estándar más económico que ofrecemos).
Podemos hacer una deducción del reembolso por la pérdida de valor de cualquier bien suministrado, si la pérdida es el resultado de una manipulación innecesaria por su parte.
Efectuaremos el reembolso sin demoras indebidas y, a más tardar, 14 días después de que se nos informe de su decisión de rescindir este contrato.
Efectuaremos el reembolso utilizando el mismo medio de pago que utilizó para la transacción inicial, a menos que haya acordado expresamente lo contrario; en cualquier caso, no incurrirá en ningún cargo como resultado de dicho reembolso.
Podremos retener el reembolso hasta que hayamos recibido los bienes o hasta que nos haya presentado una prueba de que los ha devuelto, lo que ocurra primero.
