Welcome to the Essays collection. A special selection of the nonfiction prose from influential and noteworthy authors. This book brings some of best essays of G. K. Chesterton, across a wide range of subjects, including literature, art, political and many more topics. G. K. Chesterton was an English writer, philosopher, lay theologian, and literary and art critic.

He has been referred to as the "prince of paradox". Time magazine observed of his writing style: "Whenever possible Chesterton made his points with popular sayings, proverbs, allegories first carefully turning them inside out." Many of his most relevant works were published by Tacet Books.

The book contains the following texts:- Introduction by Edmund Gosse- Books to Read- Charlotte Bronte as a Romantic- As Large as Life in Dickens- On Manners- A Workman's History of England- The True Vanity of Vanities- The Apostle and the Wild Ducks- A Theory of Tyrants- What is Right With the World- What I Found in My Pocket- Utopia Of Usurers- Woman- On Running After Ones Hat
