Lord of the World

by Robert Hugh Benson Narrated by LibriVox Community

Overview

“Mr. Benson sees the world, four or five generations hence, free at last from all minor quarrels, and ranged against itself in two camps, Humanitarianism for those who believe in no divinity but that of man, Catholicism for those who believe in no divinity but that of God.”

This apocalyptic novel from the early 1900's is sometimes deemed one of the first modern dystopias. (Summary from an original London Times review and Wikipedia)

From the Publisher

“I have often said that this novel and C. S. Lewis’ That Hideous Strength are the most frightening books that I have ever read.”
James V. Schall, S.J., from the Foreword

“I advise you to read [Lord of the World]. Reading it, you'll understand well what I mean by ideological colonization.”
Pope Francis
