The Ball and The Cross – ebook
G.K. Chesterton
A very good Christian book, which, nevertheless, speaks not so much about Christianity in itself, as about humanity, as the principle of life in general. If there were such a category as „social Christian romance”, then this book would be one of the most remarkable examples. The book is attractive and not only because of the description of a non-ideal world, but also because of the author’s attitude...Data dostępności:

Five people were seated around a table in the private office of a well-known solicitor in Lincoln’s Inn. Their expressions and general attitude were sufficiently disturbed to suggest that their gathering was of no ordinary moment.
