{"product_id":"the-well-and-the-shallows-9781586171261","title":"The Well and the Shallows","description":"\u003cp\u003eOne of Chestertons last books  this book is considered by Chesterton critics and fans as one of his finest collections of essays on a variety of cultural  social and moral issues that seem even more urgent today. His trademark wit and perceptive analysis of the absurdities and excesses of modern life are here  but with a more serious tone than usual. He diagnoses the rising threats of anti-Semitism and Nazism  of unchecked militarism and the dangerous idealism of pacifism  the problems of materialism and capitalism  the sickness of immoral sexual behavior and eugenics  the twin threats of fascism and communism  and much more. Throughout his writings  always so prophetic and seemingly more timely now than when he lived  Chesterton fiercely defends the Church (the \"Well\") and Christian teachings as the source of wisdom  reason  compassion and strength to face all the dangers and evils in modern times (the \"Shallows\"). The popularity of G. K. Chesterton and his writings continues to flourish as the new Chesterton movement grows in the USA and abroad.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45789612179509,"sku":"ByrdShop_1586171267","price":64.61,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781586171261.jpg?v=1784693854","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/the-well-and-the-shallows-9781586171261","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
