Description
""The Appetite of Tyranny"" is a collection of essays written by the renowned English writer and philosopher, G.K. Chesterton. The book delves into the concept of tyranny and its effects on society, politics, and culture. Chesterton explores the various forms of tyranny, including political, religious, and social, and argues that they all stem from a common human desire for power and control. He examines the dangers of unchecked authority and the importance of individual liberty and freedom. Chesterton's writing is insightful and thought-provoking, and his wit and humor are on full display throughout the book. ""The Appetite of Tyranny"" is a timeless work that remains relevant today, offering a powerful critique of tyranny and a defense of democracy and human rights.The German Emperor has reproached this country with allying itself with ""barbaric and semi-oriental power."" We have already considered in what sense we use the word barbaric: it is in the sense of one who is hostile to civilisation, not one who is insufficient in it. But when we pass from the idea of the barbaric to the idea of the oriental, the case is even more curious. There is nothing particularly Tartar in Russian affairs, except the fact that Russia expelled the Tartars. The Eastern invader occupied and crushed the country for many years; but that is equally true of Greece, of Spain and even of Austria.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
