Synopsis "The Complete Father Brown Stories"

With an Introduction by David Stuart Davies. Father Brown, one of the most quirkily genial and lovable characters to emerge from English detective fiction, first made his appearance in The Innocence of Father Brown in 1911. That first collection of stories established G.K. Chesterton's kindly cleric in the front rank of eccentric sleuths. This complete collection contains all the favourite Father Brown stories, showing a quiet wit and compassion that has endeared him to many, whilst solving his mysteries by a mixture of imagination and a sympathetic worldliness in a totally believable manner.

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.

En México tener algo de Cheesterton es costoso, muy costoso. Este volumen, que sólo tiene los 5 libros del Father Brown (no tiene los cuentos póstumos, que son escasos, pero hay algunos) es una ganga si puedes leer en inglés. Lo conseguí a —50% lo cual lo dejó en menos de 10 dólares. El tamaño de letra y tipografía es aceptable, además que no es un papel pesado. Si se llega a rayar o subrayar recomiendo lápiz y no marca texto para este tipo de papel. Para los hispanohablantes tener libros de Cheesterton es buscar en ACANTILADO y sus precios tan altos, el volumen de Father Brown cuesta alrededor de 45 a 57 dólares.
