Description
Evan MacIan, who has come to London from a remote mountain village in Scotland, happens to catch sight of a newspaper containing disparaging remarks about the Virgin Mary. So shocked and outraged was he by the article that he immediately challenged the newspaper's editor — a convinced atheist, James Turnbull — to a duel…
This is how the novel-disputation of G.K. Chesterton begins — a work whose genre is not so easy to define. A fantastical satire? A pamphlet? A dystopia?
"It is a parable! A parable about you and those like you. First you deny the cross; then you deny everything in the world. We will agree when they say one cannot drive people into church by force, but you will immediately say that no one goes there of their own free will."
