Synopsis "Pisadas Extrañas (in Spanish)"

El padre Brown es un sacerdote enjuto, miope, de facciones redondas y apariencia normal, pero es capaz de resolver lo más intrincados casos policíacos. Para ello utiliza la sutil experiencia psicológica, la deducción, la introspección, su aparente ingenuidad y la fe.
Con las aventuras del padre Brown, Chesterton renovó la novela policíaca. Y a este respecto, José Luis Borges escribió: "Cada una de ellas presenta un misterio, propone explicaciones de tipo demoníaco o mágico y las reemplaza, al fin, con otras de este mundo. La maestría no agota la virtud de estas breves piezas".

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.
