  G K Chesterton (29 May 1874 – 14 June 1936) was a poet, novelist, playwright, literary commentator, editor, biographer, journalist, orator and theologian.  He was often dubbed as the “prince of paradox” for his light whimsical style that often addressed serious issues such as politics and religion.  The latter was as a member and defender of the Christian faith and the former was shaped by a distrust of concentrated wealth and power.  He advocated Distributionism and said that every man should be allowed to own "three acres and a cow."  These political views have spread round the world, crediting Chesterton as the father of the “small is beautiful” movement.  It is also said to have influenced Gandhi in seeking a genuine nationalism for India rather than imitating the British state.   
  Chesterton was remarkably prolific but perhaps his most famous creation is Father Brown.  Within this character Chesterton’s clever writing and profound ideas reveal truths, often with humour as the detective priest pursues the answers to his cases.

  One of the 1001 Books to Read Before You Die A Le Monde 100 Books of the Century book Recognized as a Great American Novel by The Atlantic  
  … occasionally beautiful, frequently wrenching, and thoroughly destabilizing—a tale told by a genius, signifying, somehow … everything. — Megan Garber for The Atlantic  
  Set in Jefferson, Mississippi, The Sound and the Fury follows the Compson family. Over the course of four different narratives—three from the perspective of a different Compson brother, one from a third-person omniscient point of view—the story maps the family's decline from Southern aristocracy to tragedy. 
  Originally published in 1929, William Faulkner's The Sound and the Fury was the author's fourth novel. Though not initially successful, the novel has since been recognized as one of Faulkner's best works, and one of the best works of Southern literature in literary history, as well as instrumental in the development of the stream-of-consciousness literary technique. Faulkner would go on to receive the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1949.   
  This new audio edition of the modernist Southern Gothic classic is narrated by Audie Award winner Pete Cross.
