K. Chesterton that has become a classic of Christian apologetics. Chesterton considered this book a companion to his other work, Heretics. In the book's preface Chesterton states the purpose is to "attempt an explanation, not of whether the Christian Faith can be believed, but of how he personally has come to believe it." In it, Chesterton presents an original view of Christian religion. He sees it as the answer to natural human needs, the "answer to a riddle" in his own words, and not simply as an arbitrary truth received from somewhere outside the boundaries of human experience.

In Christianity he found answers to many of the dilemmas and paradoxes of life. Throughout Heretics he provides a very personal critique of contemporary religious notions. His consistently engaging but often wayward humour is mixed liberally with daring flights of fancy and some startling turns of thought. A highly original collection of essays, providing an invaluable contribution to one of the major debates of the last century - one that continues to exercise leading thinkers in the present one.

Its representation of the underside of domestic life and the hypocrisy behind religious enthusiasm drew both praise and bitter criticism, while Charlotte Brontë's striking expose of poor living conditions for children in charity schools as well as her poignant portrayal of the limitations faced by women who worked as governesses sparked great controversy and social debate. Jane Eyre, Brontë's best-known novel, remains an extraordinary coming-of-age narrative, and one of the great classics of literature. http://www.feedbooks.com/book/144.png http://www.feedbooks.com/book/144.pdf http://www.feedbooks.com/book/144.epub http://www.feedbooks.com/book/144.mobi Middlemarch George Eliot http://www.feedbooks.com/book/575 urn:isbn:0451529170 en 1871 Novels Vast and crowded, rich in irony and suspense, Middlemarch is richer still in character, with two of the era's most enduring characters, Dorothea Brooke, trapped in a loveless marriage, and Lydgate, an ambitious young doctor. http://www.feedbooks.com/book/575.png http://www.feedbooks.com/book/575.pdf http://www.feedbooks.com/book/575.epub http://www.feedbooks.com/book/575.mobi Where Love is, There God is Also Lev Nikolayevich Tolstoy http://www.feedbooks.com/book/1736 en 1885 Short Fiction Religion This work is available for countries where copyright is Life+70 and in the USA. http://www.feedbooks.com/book/1736.png http://www.feedbooks.com/book/1736.pdf http://www.feedbooks.com/book/1736.epub http://www.feedbooks.com/book/1736.mobi Madame Bovary Gustave Flaubert http://www.feedbooks.com/book/2042 urn:isbn:0192840398 en 1857 Novels Romance Madame Bovary scandalized its readers when it was first published in 1857. And the story itself remains as fresh today as when it was first written, a work that remains unsurpassed in its unveiling of character and society. It tells the tragic story of the romantic but empty-headed Emma Rouault. When Emma marries Charles Bovary, she imagines she will pass into the life of luxury and passion that she reads about in sentimental novels and women's magazines. But Charles is an ordinary country doctor, and provincial life is very different from the romantic excitement for which she yearns. In her quest to realize her dreams she takes a lover, Rodolphe, and begins a devastating spiral into deceit and despair. And Flaubert captures every step of this catastrophe with sharp-eyed detail and a wonderfully subtle understanding of human emotions. http://www.feedbooks.com/book/2042.png http://www.feedbooks.com/book/2042.pdf http://www.feedbooks.com/book/2042.epub http://www.feedbooks.com/book/2042.mobi Work, Death, and Sickness Lev Nikolayevich Tolstoy http://www.feedbooks.com/book/1744 en 1903 Short Fiction Religion This work is available for countries where copyright is Life+70 and in the USA. http://www.feedbooks.com/book/1744.png http://www.feedbooks.com/book/1744.pdf http://www.feedbooks.com/book/1744.epub http://www.feedbooks.com/book/1744.mobi The Wisdom of Father Brown Gilbert Keith Chesterton http://www.feedbooks.com/book/3724 urn:isbn:0755100352 en 1914 Short Fiction Crime/Mystery Collections Religion From London to Cornwall, then to Italy and France, a short, shabby priest runs to earth bandits, traitors, killers.
