x + 181hlm; 14,5x22cm J.B. Morton's Hilaire Belloc (published in 1955) is a memoir that offers a personal and intimate portrait of the complex English writer, historian, and politician. Morton, a close friend of Belloc, wrote the book several years after Belloc's death. Morton portrays Belloc as a romantic, complex, and reclusive figure, also known for his sharp wit and sometimes controversial views. The book highlights the central role of Belloc's Catholic faith, which influenced much of his work and worldview, not merely as a comforting belief, but as a conviction of absolute truth. The memoir likely touches on Belloc's interactions with contemporaries such as G.K. Chesterton (they were often nicknamed 'Chesterbelloc' in debates). Overall, the book is considered one of the best and most vivid resources for understanding Hilaire Belloc's personal nature and character, written by someone who knew him personally.
