A history of humanity, Christ, and Christianity, this 1925 polemic famously converted C. S. Lewis from atheism. Chesterton's view of Christianity — as a rare blend of philosophy and mythology, satisfying to both intellect and spirit — applies to his brilliant book, which appeals to readers' heads as well as their hearts.
Beautiful condition!
| Customer Rating: | | I have no additional comments. The book is in pristine condition. I look forward to reading it. |
Great Book - Terrible Version
| Customer Rating: | All of the reviews of this book are right on - it is a watershed in Christian and Catholic apologetics.
EVERY CUSTOMER SHOULD KNOW, HOWEVER, THAT THIS BOOK HAS 5 TYPOS IN EVERY PARAGRAPH. IT IS REDICULOUS, AND YOU ARE BEST SERVED BUYING A DIFFERENT VERSION.
I've looked for an explanation as to how this could happen, and I've found none. BUYER BEWARE! |
The Everlasting Man
| Customer Rating: | | Book is a spiritual classic and I was glad to find it in paperback for my library. |
Good book ruined by an incompetent publisher
| Customer Rating: | This may have been a fine work in its original form, but this edition (Wilder Publications, 2008) is so shoddy, it isn't worth the effort to try to read it. Based on my own experience with OCR software, I would guess that this publisher scanned an old copy, translated it to text, then reformatted it, and printed it. There is no evidence that anyone proofread it prior to printing. It it doubtful that it was even run through a spell-check program. Periods are missing at the ends of sentences; words are left out; "d", "h", and "b" are confused; apostrophies are inserted randomly (probably fly-spots on the original), "and" repeatedly appears as "an", "modern" almost always appears as "modem", etc. ad infinitum.
I read through about a fourth of the book before giving up in exasperation. |
A classic - in a poor edition
| Customer Rating: | I received mine copy today and will return it. It does not have Chesterton's Prefatory Note and the Introduction has been truncated from 10 pages (soft cover Doubleday) to three paragraphs! I started to read it and two pages in I found a typo. Also, I am not pleased with the quality of the print.
The Everlasting Man is a classic and should be read by everyone. It is a shame that the quality of this edition is so mediocre.
