The Ball and the Cross G. K. Chesterton - The Ball and the Cross starts with a prologue in a flying ship made by a Professor called Lucifer. He is discussing the real truth with a man of religion a pastor called Father Michael. Father Michael believes in religion while the Professor believes in science. The ship runs into a ball and a cross over a Cathedral, where Lucifer pushes Father Michael out on a rooftop in anger caused by their argument. He is then escorted to an asylum, as the people he meets are sure he is crazy. We are then sent to the life of Evan McIan, another strong believer. When he is walking around the streets and sees a shop with posters that go against his beliefs, which is why he shatters a window. He is caught and brought to court against the owner of the shop. They are both set free, as the owner says he would never duel a religious man such as Evan; he would rather be deemed a coward.
Meer oor die skrywer
Gilbert Keith Chesterton was an English writer, philosopher, lay theologian, and literary and art critic. He was educated at St. Paul's, and went to art school at University College London. In 1900, he was asked to contribute a few magazine articles on art criticism, and went on to become one of the most prolific writers of all time. He wrote a hundred books, contributions to 200 more, hundreds of poems, including the epic Ballad of the White Horse, five plays, five novels, and some two hundred short stories, including a popular series featuring the priest-detective, Father Brown. In spite of his literary accomplishments, he considered himself primarily a journalist. He wrote over 4000 newspaper essays, including 30 years worth of weekly columns for the Illustrated London News, and 13 years of weekly columns for the Daily News. He also edited his own newspaper, G.K.'s Weekly. Chesterton was equally at ease with literary and social criticism, history, politics, economics, philosophy, and theology.
