Chesterton. Un escritor para todos los tiempos
An extraordinary biography of an all-terrain writer, a classic of literature committed to the essential values of human life.
G. K. Chesterton is already a classic of British literature and probably the most quoted English writer of our century. A novelist, poet, playwright, creator of detective stories, essayist, columnist, radio lecturer, literary critic, political thinker, philosopher, host of debates ... There was no literary genre that he did not deal with originality and mastery. In his youthful spirit lies the true secret of his permanence. He discovered the miracle of existence and wondered at God paying attention to “supporting characters" of the great novel of humanity. There are psychiatrists who recommend his work to patients, because they are convinced that trying to see the world with the extraordinary freshness of Chesterton's eyes will always be a therapy of proven efficacy. Hence, perhaps, Sir Arthur Bryant’s claim that Chesterton’s influence will be greater among the generations yet unborn that among his contemporaries, is on track to become a prophecy.
