Everlasting Man, The

di G K Chesterton (Autore)

SPA Publishing, 2025

This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice. G. K. Chesterton’s ***The Everlasting Man***stands as one of the greatest works of Christian philosophy and historical reflection ever written. First published in 1925, it was Chesterton’s bold answer to H. G. Wells’s The Outline of History—a sweeping defense of humanity’s divine origin and destiny. Both dazzling and profound, it traces the story of mankind from cave drawings to cathedrals, arguing that only the Incarnation of Christ gives true meaning to human history. Chesterton begins by exploring humanity’s uniqueness—our art, our worship, our yearning for transcendence—and dismantles the reductionist idea that man is merely an animal. In the second half, he turns to Christ Himself, the turning point of all history, whose life and resurrection stand as the axis on which civilization revolves. With paradox, poetry, and piercing logic, Chesterton reveals that Christianity is not one myth among many but the fulfillment of them all. Brimming with insight, humor, and moral clarity, The Everlasting Man is both a history of humanity and a meditation on divinity. It celebrates faith as the wellspring of reason, creativity, and freedom, offering an antidote to the despair of modern materialism. C. S. Lewis famously credited the book with “baptizing” his intellect—proof of its power to awaken minds and hearts to wonder. A timeless masterpiece of apologetics and imagination, The Everlasting Man remains Chesterton’s crowning achievement—a work that dares to explain not only what man is, but why he matters.
