G. K. Chesterton

What's Wrong with the World? G. K. Chesterton

Originally published in 1910, this is a witty and entertaining look at society through the author's eyes, who has very firm ideas about what is wrong with it. It is not a dry book of social enquiry. There are no reams of statistics and tables of population, but actually quite an entertaining read. Contents include: The Homelessness of Man; Imperialism: or The Mistake About Man; Feminism: or The Mistake About Woman; Education: or The Mistake About The Child; The Home Of Man; Three Notes: 1. On Female Suffrage, 2. On Cleanliness in Education, 3. On Peasant Proprietorship. Many of these earliest books, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. Obscure Press are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.
