Characters of the Reformation . E-book. Formato EPUB Hilaire Belloc - Logos, 2017 -
Hilaire Belloc’s landmark study Characters of the Reformation argues that Western Europe’s break from the Catholic Church was driven by a land-grab and looting of Church property by European noblemen. Belloc has little admiration for the so-called leaders of the time and credits the Reformation to behind-the-scenes players. Each chapter is a mini-biography and individuals covered include Anne Boleyn, Pope Clement the Seventh, Cecil, Richelieu, Laud, Oliver Cromwell, Descartes, Pascal and more.
Cautionary Tales for Children. E-book. Formato EPUB Hilaire Belloc - Logos, 2023 -
Most notable among prolific English satirist Hilaire Belloc's writings are the sharp and clever admonishments he composed for children. Collected here, these short, funny pieces offer moral instruction for all types of mischief makers—from a certain young Jim, "who ran away from his nurse and was eaten by a lion," to the tale of Matilda, "who told lies and was burned to death"—and add up to a delightful read for any fan of Roald Dahl or Shel Silverstein.
