Welcome to The G. K. Chesterton Library, where the old books are opened again, and found to be astonishingly alive. Here are tales of priests and paradoxes, of taverns and trumpets, of common things made strange and splendid. In these readings, Chesterton’s wit, wonder, faith, and thunderous good humour return to the road, inviting every listener to discover that the world is not merely sensible, but miraculous.Public domain

As snow thickens and the city darkens, the pursuer and pursued engage in a curious and relentless chase beneath the solemn dome of St. Paul’s, where faith and enigma seem to hold their breath.

    In which a pale, enigmatic stranger leads Syme to a remarkable breakfast gathering in a sunlit square, where gentlemen dressed as anarchists dine openly beneath a grand balcony.

    In which Mr. Syme is introduced to the curious and paradoxical world of serious anarchists beneath a modest tavern, where an elaborate secret society convenes with a strange blend of menace and ceremony. Over lobster and champagne, and through subterranean chambers lined with weapons, Syme observes the peculiar customs and uncanny resolve of these conspirators as a new appointment is about to be solemnly decided.
