Autorenporträt
G.K. Chesterton (1874-1909) was an English poet, journalist, orator, theologian, and art critic, referred to as "the prince of paradox." He is also known for his popular detective short stories written between 1910-1936 featuring the Roman Catholic priest and crime sleuth, Father Brown. Chesterton attended the Slade School of Art, but chose to represent his abstract imagery of ideas with words on paper, rather than paint on canvas. He was also a skilled debater, engaging in many public disputes with the likes of George Bernard Shaw, H.G. Wells, and Clarence Darrow. No doubt he would put our contemporary political pundits to shame. Chesterton's essay on H.G. Wells is featured in our collection of Dystopian Stories. We also feature his Father Brown short stories, The Blue Cross and The Invisible Man in our collection of Mystery Stories.
