Description
Karel Čapek wrote about G. K. Chesterton: "He joyfully and wholeheartedly praised things that belong among the five plums of ordinary life, such as home, faith, democracy, order, and trust. He was like a magician pulling rabbits out of a hat; the most serious truths, the noblest challenges, he spilled from his playful and kind humor; he was a frolicking philosopher who leaped with joy at the mere fact of dealing with the truth and the seriousness of immortal humanity... He defended the simplicity and conservatism of human life with the most splendid genius of a poet. We do not know how humor is rewarded in heaven; but if there is even the slightest honorable place for it, then Gilbert Keith Chesterton deserves some degree of beatitude, the feast of which could be celebrated forever by all of humanity without distinction of faith." And that is why he is loved by people of various backgrounds today: Ivan Vyskočil, Jiří Suchý, Vladimír Just, Tomáš Halík, Karel Schwarzenberg, and many others.
