The Superstition of Divorce
Gilbert Keith Chesterton
88 pages~1 hr 46 min read18 chapters$4.99
Divorce, not marriage, is the superstition, argues Chesterton, standing the modern debate on its head. These essays defend the family as the one institution older and freer than the state, with the paradox and swordplay only he could manage. Collected from his newspaper battles of 1920. Disagree if you dare; he hopes you will.
Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
