Trade Paperback. Condition: Fine. Pelicano, Christopher J. - Cover Art and Design (illustrator). First Edition. 289 Pages Indexed. A tight as new book with near-flawless interior text pages and the feel of a never opened book. Hilaire Belloc was a poet, polemicist, and prose stylist without peer, but above all, an entire generation's mighty champion for the Catholic faith. He was a prolific historian who authored many important works such as How the Reformation Happened, Europe and the Faith, and The Crusades. The Essential Belloc, a timely new compilation of his insights on religion, politics, Western history and culture, is perfect for Catholics struggling against secularism. Included are his lighter musings on the particular charms of towns and peoples throughout the world, the love of good food and drink, and the songs of camaraderie that go with them. This is the perfect book for those who know and love Belloc and for those not yet familiar with the brilliance and humor found in his prose. Contents in Ten Chapters: Christendom in Crisis, Islam - Scourge of the west, Travels on Land and Sea, Friendship and the Inn, Belloc the Essayist, Economics an the Social Order, History and Historical Personages, Science and Truth, Songs and Verse, and Wit Witticisms, and Wisdom.

In Belloc's tale of violent sexuality, set forth in stark, hypnotic prose, the author presents a narrative of the gay underworld in 1960s Paris.
