Sobre El Autor
Gilbert Keith Chesterton was born in London, England, in 1874. He began his education at St Paul's School, and later went on to study art at the Slade School, and literature at University College in London. Chesterton wrote a great deal of poetry, as well as works of social and literary criticism. mostrar más Among his most notable books are The Man Who Was Thursday, a metaphysical thriller, and The Everlasting Man, a history of humankind's spiritual progress. After Chesterton converted to Catholicism in 1922, he wrote mainly on religious topics. Chesterton is most known for creating the famous priest-detective character Father Brown, who first appeared in "The Innocence of Father Brown." Chesterton died in 1936 at the age of 62.

- G K Chesterton has been described as one of the most unjustly neglected writers of our time. Born in 1874 -when Kensington still formed part of Middlesex-, he became a journalist and later began writing books and pamphlets. His work includes novels, literary and social criticism, political papers and spiritual essays in a style characterised by enormous wit, paradox, humility and wonder. He converted to Catholicism in 1922 and he explores the nature of spirituality in many of his books and essays, including the mighty Orthodoxy.Conocido como G. K. Chesterton, nombre con el que firmó sus obras, nació en el seno de una familia de clase media, estudiando Dibujo y Pintura en la Slade School of Art, y Literatura en el London University College, dejando inconclusas ambas carreras. Comenzó a trabajar en prensa, con columnas sobre temas de espiritismo y ocultismo, y durante seis años trabajó en una editorial. Definido como agnóstico, se convirtió al Anglicanismo colaborando sobre temas religiosos en The New Witness (más tarde se convertiría al Catolicismo). Siguió colaborando en prensa para el Daily News y The London Ilustrated News, con el que continuó treinta años, todo ello, compaginado con la escritura.
Fue autor de ensayos, poemas, biografías, libros de viajes y novelas, destacando en este último género las de tipo detectivesco protagonizadas por el Padre Brown.
