Auteur van Cautionary Tales for Children
Over de Auteur
Hilaire Belloc, 1870 - 1953 Hilaire Belloc was born in France in 1870, educated at Oxford, and naturalized as a British subject in 1902. Although he began as a writer of humorous verse for children, his works include satire, poetry, history, biography, fiction, and many volumes of essays. With his toon meer close friend and fellow Catholic, G. K. Chesterton, Belloc founded the New Witness, a weekly newspaper opposing capitalism and free thought and supporting a philosophy known as distributism. The pair was so close in thought and association that George Bernard Shaw nicknamed them Chesterbelloc. During his life, Belloc published over 150 books. Today, however, he is best remembered for only a few works, most notably his light verse, such as Cautionary Tales (1907) and A Bad Child's Book of Beasts (1896). Belloc died in 1953 from burns caused when his dressing gown caught fire from the hearth. (Bowker Author Biography) toon minder

Niet dat zijn opinies onzin zijn of niet het overdenken waard. Met name het stuk over de Reformatie en het Calvinisme is, hoewel natuurlijk vanuit een katholiek gezichtspunt geschreven, interessant en zijn voorspelling van een nieuw conflict tussen de islamitische wereld en het westen heeft iets visionairs als je bedenkt dat het boek werd uitgegeven in 1938, een tijd waarin bijna alle moslimlanden onmachtig zuchtten onder het koloniale juk. Maar toch: een pamflet is een pamflet is een pamflet (en geen boek).
En tenslotte deze lelijke uitschuiver: ‘…and the forces which are making for the destruction of our culture, notably the Jewish Communist propaganda from Moscow….’. Natuurlijk, 1938, nog geen Holocaust, alles moet in zijn tijd geplaatst worden, enzovoorts enzovoorts. En toch had ik van Belloc beter verwacht dan dit soort paranoïde onzin. Jammer.… (meer)
