About the author

Gilbert 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.

Reviews

[H.L. Amaral · Rating 2 out of 5]

Esses contos definitivamente não eram o que eu esperava. Adoro os ensaios e comentários de Chesterton, mas passarei longe de seu personagem mais famoso daqui pra frente. Algumas premissas são interessantes, mas a execução é sempre tediosa e até confusa às vezes. Infelizmente pra mim não rolou.

Achei o livro um pouco sem inspiração. As histórias sempre levavam para resoluções um pouco preguiçosas.
