G.K. Chesterton
3,775 books5,965 followersGilbert Keith Chesterton was an English writer, philosopher, lay theologian, and literary and art critic.
He was educated at St. Paul’s, and went to art school at University College London. In 1900, he was asked to contribute a few magazine articles on art criticism, and went on to become one of the most prolific writers of all time. He wrote a hundred books, contributions to 200 more, hundreds of poems, including the epic Ballad of the White Horse, five plays, five novels, and some two hundred short stories, including a popular series featuring the priest-detective, Father Brown. In spite of his literary accomplishments, he considered himself primarily a journalist. He wrote over 4000 newspaper essays, including 30 years worth of weekly columns for the Illustrated London News, and 13 years of weekly columns for the Daily News. He also edited his own newspaper, G.K.’s Weekly.
Chesterton was equally at ease with literary and social criticism, history, politics, economics, philosophy, and theology.

Muy buena selección de citas: Chesterton no tiene desperdicio.
El problema es que cada página tiene impresa una sola frase en la parte superior, lo que deja mucho espacio en blanco. Esa presentación le resta una estrella.
Aunque el contenido sea bueno, es muy escaso para justificar la compra. Sugiero buscar las citas en la web.
