Opis

British writer GILBERT KEITH CHESTERTON (1874-1936) expounded prolifically about his wide-ranging philosophies-he is impossible to categorize as "liberal" or "conservative," for instance-across a wide variety of avenues: he was a literary critic, historian, playwright, novelist, columnist, and poet. His witty, humorous style earned him the title of the "prince of paradox," and his works-80 books and nearly 4,000 essays-remain among the most beloved in the English languageChesterton is best remembered, perhaps, as a spinner of mystery tales, and for his recurring character of the unlikely detective Father Brown, who debuted in this 1911 collection of stories. This volume includes:. "The Blue Cross". "The Secret Garden". "The Queen Feet". "The Flying Stars". "The Invisible Man". "The Honour of Israel Gow". "The Wrong Shape". "The Sins of Prince Saradine". "The Hammer of God". "The Eye of Apollo". "The Sign of the Broken Sword". "The Three Tools of Death"
