Biografía del autor

G. K. Chesterton (Londres 1874 x{0026} x02013; Beaconsfield 1936), fue un literato y polemista inglés convertido en 1922 al catolicismo. Abandonó sus estudios de arte para dedicarse al periodismo. Comenzó escribiendo poesía y ensayos críticos sobre diversos escritores británicos, pero la fama y el reconocimiento internacional le llegaron con sus novelas y relatos, obras llenas de imaginación, sentido del humor y hábil manejo lingüístico, como El hombre que fue Jueves, El Napoleón de Notting Hill, La esfera y la cruz o los celebérrimos relatos del padre Brown. Escribió, además, dos extraordinarias biografías de santo Tomás de Aquino y san Francisco de Asís, esta última publicada en castellano por Ediciones Encuentro.
