About the author
G.K. Chesterton
4,643 books5,746 followersGilbert Keith Chesterton was an English writer, philosopher, lay theologian, and literary and art critic.
He was educated at St. Paul’s, and went to art school at University College London. In 1900, he was asked to contribute a few magazine articles on art criticism, and went on to become one of the most prolific writers of all time. He wrote a hundred books, contributions to 200 more, hundreds of poems, including the epic Ballad of the White Horse, five plays, five novels, and some two hundred short stories, including a popular series featuring the priest-detective, Father Brown. In spite of his literary accomplishments, he considered himself primarily a journalist. He wrote over 4000 newspaper essays, including 30 years worth of weekly columns for the Illustrated London News, and 13 years of weekly columns for the Daily News. He also edited his own newspaper, G.K.’s Weekly.
Chesterton was equally at ease with literary and social criticism, history, politics, economics, philosophy, and theology.

Los relatos policiacos de G. K. Chesterton, a quien, a su manera, elogia Borges en uno de sus libros, fue para mí, un a grata sorpresa. Un libro que me gustó, tuve una lectura entretenida y hasta cierto punto, divertida. Algo hay, como lo dijo dijo Borges, de siniestro y misterioso y abierto en lo que no se dice en el relato de El hombre invisible. Un relato interesante como método de estudio para quienes escribimos cuentos.

Estos relatos cortos del padre Brown, esos misterios tan imposibles son tan insólitos e inofensivos y est

Cuatro entretenidos cuentos con el más bonachón de los detectives.

Cuentos muy ingeniosos sobre el padre Brown, al mejor estilo de Sherlock Holmes y Hércules Poirot, retratando situaciones de la época.

Es recomendable leer estos cuentos tras ver la serie de "Padre Brown" (disponible en Filmin) basada en las historias de Chesterton. Uno se imagina al cura detective en los escenarios de la serie.
