Synopsis "lo que esta mal en el mundo: Volume 14 (In memoriam historia) (in Spanish)"

Con su habitual estilo sarcástico, Gilbert Keith Chesterton le da un repaso a la sociedad post victoriana en la que vive y, desde su perspectiva católica, analiza los puntos sustanciales que considera dignos de crítica. Con un lenguaje periodístico y manifiestamente irónico, el autor recorre todos los aspectos humanos de la idiosincrasia británica, desde el fenómeno sufragista al socialismo, pasando por la educación, el clasismo, el capitalismo, el evolucionismo y un sinnúmero de '-ismos' hasta llegar a las paradojas de un mundo que para él es más contradictorio que el anterior. Estamos ante una obra fundamental para entender el país, la época pero, sobre todo, para disfrutar de la prosa de un autor que no ha perdido la vigencia merced a su estilo y temáticas.

G. K. Chesterton (London, May 29, 1874 – Beaconsfield, June 14, 1936) was a prolific British writer, author of essays, novels, poetry, biographies, and Christian apologetics. His work is characterized by irony, paradoxical wit, and a critical view of modernity. He was a prominent convert to Catholicism and an influential figure in religious and literary thought of his time. He is also known for his brilliant argumentative style and his defense of common sense.

Among his most recognized works are The Man Who Was Thursday (1908), Orthodoxy (1908), The Innocence of Father Brown (1911), Heretics (1905), The Ball and the Cross (1909), and The Resurrection of Rome (1930). He cultivated the essay, the novel of ideas, detective stories, and social and religious criticism.
