British writer GILBERT KEITH CHESTERTON (18741936) expounded prolifically about his wideranging philosophieshe is impossible to categorize as "liberal" or "conservative," for instanceacross a wide variety of avenues he was a literary critic, historian, playwright, novelist, columnist, and poet. His witty, humorous style earned him the title of the "prince of paradox," and his works80 books and nearly 4,000 essaysremain among the most beloved in the English language Considered by many readers to be his best work, this 1908 novel is an outrageous satire about a club of gentlemen in London at the turn of the 20th century who have vowed to destroy the world. Subtitled "A Nightmare," and bursting with Chestertons trademark wit and abundant in surprising metaphors about religion, nature, and human civilization itself, it is a philosophical and ironic wonder, a delight to read and an even greater delight to ponder.
