First published in 1920, this trenchant, at times angry book reveals a different side of G K Chesterton (1874-1936), renowned for his lively essays, his detective stories, and his Christian apologetics. In it, Chesterton reflects on the long history of Jerusalem, and offers perceptive observations and critiques on the three religions for whom it is holy ground - Judaism, Islam, and Christianity. Chesterton''s perspectives mingle poetic flights with blunt assessments about the situation in the Muslim East, particularly with regard to Zionism. His views are the antithesis of what would be regarded today as ''politically correct'', yet they have proved to be almost prophetic in some respects.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

G.K. Chesterton

Gilbert Keith Chesterton (1874–1936) nasceu em Londres e frequentou a escola de arte do University College London. Em 1900 foi convidado a contribuir com artigos de crítica de arte, e a partir daí tornou-se um dos escritores mais prolíficos de todos os tempos. Escreveu cerca de uma centena de livros, centenas de poemas, cinco peças de teatro, cinco romances e cerca de 200 contos, muitos dos quais incluem o popular padre detetive, Padre Brown. Ainda assim, considerava-se, antes de mais, jornalista: escreveu mais de 4000 ensaios para jornais e também editou o seu próprio jornal, G.K.’s Weekly. Escrevia com à-vontade nas áreas de crítica literária e social, história, política, economia, filosofia e teologia. É frequentemente chamado de «príncipe do paradoxo».
