Synopsis "The blue cross; The secret of father Brown / La cruz azul; El secreto del padre Brown (in Spanish)"

A diferencia de los métodos basados en detalles científicos de Sherlock Holmes, el modesto padre Brown aparece como un razonador más intuitivo que puede «meterse» en la mente de un criminal. Su empatía convierte las historias de este sacerdote católico en un ameno ensayo sobre la naturaleza humana. La cruz azul fue el debut literario del personaje de G.K. Chesterton, y en El secreto del padre Brown se revela una pista esencial sobre la filosofía del singular detective: «Nadie es realmente bueno hasta que no descubre lo malo que es, o que puede llegar a ser ».

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.
