El color de España y otros ensayos, inédito hasta ahora entre nosotros, lleva por título en su primera edición inglesa The Glass walking-stick and other essays (1955) y es una buena muestra de esa universal curiosidad presente siempre en Chesterton y de su originalisima, peleona y buenhumorada vision del mundo.

Father Brown is the most popular of Chestertonos fictional charactersa naive-seeming parish priest who has a fundamental knowledge of the evil in the human spirit, gathered through his confessional work. This gives him an advantage over the traditional detective, because he can see that anyone at all is capable of doing any kind of evil. It is this sense of morality, of good and evil, that raises Chestertonos detective fiction above the level of the traditional mystery story.

Father Brown, an unassuming and shabbily dressed priest, possesses an incredible ability to solve crimes and murders. Here he reveals the secret of his success. He discovers the culprit by imagining himself to be inside the mind of the criminal. This fourth collection of Father Brown stories contains the magnificent The Chief Mourner of Marne- a fascinating story with unexpected twists about a duel and a case of mistaken identity.

Chesterton states that the purpose of his book is to attempt an explanation, not of whether the Christian faith can be believed, but of how he personally has come to believe it. In it, Chesterton presents an original view of the Christian religion. He sees it as the answer to natural human needs, the "answer to a riddle" in his own words, and not simply as an arbitrary truth received from somewhere outside the boundaries of human experience.

Father Brown, full-time Catholic priest and part-time amateur detective, returns in this third collection of short stories by G. K. Chesterton. Unlike the first two collections, this time Father Brown is investigating alone; his sidekick, the former criminal Flambeau, is nowhere to be seen. Father Brown has to solve a murder (including his own!) in each story, and since several also appear to involve the supernatural, he has ample opportunity to elaborate on his thoughts concerning it.

Father Brown returns in his fourth collection of stories, and his sidekick Flambeau makes a return as well, although only in the two framing stories at the beginning and end of the collection. In the intervening ten stories, Father Brown is alone, and investigating mysteries involving objects as varied as mirrors, literal goldfish (made out of gold), and a suit of armor. As always, his investigations also provide him an opportunity to expound on the nature of evil, the differences between a charlatans representation of the supernatural and the real thing, and the opportunities for thieves and murderers to repent of their deeds.

G. K. Chesterton, the "Prince of Paradox," is at his witty best in this collection of twenty essays and articles from the turn of the twentieth century. Focusing on "heretics" - those who pride themselves on their superiority to Christian views - Chesterton appraises prominent figures who fall into that category from the literary and art worlds. Luminaries such as Rudyard Kipling, George Bernard Shaw, H. G. Wells, and James McNeill Whistler come under the authors scrutiny, where they meet with equal measures of his characteristic wisdom and good humor.

Twelve mysteries featuring Father Brown, the short, stumpy Catholic priest with "uncanny insight into human evil."

Después de haber sido agnóstico durante su juventud, con el paso del tiempo G. K. Chesterton se convirtió en uno de los principales defensores del cristianismo, en especial del catolicismo, algo poco usual en una Inglaterra anglicana que desde hacia siglos habia dado la espalda a la Iglesia catolica romana. Ortodoxia, publicado en 1908, constituye el testimonio de su viaje espiritual del escepticismo a la fe. A traves de una serie de disertaciones que apelan al sentido comun, erige una apologia del cristianismo, planteandolo como una respuesta a las necesidades de la humanidad, no arbitraria de origen, sino consecuente con un orden divino. El hombre eterno, editado 17 años despues, surgio como oposicion a las tendencias historicistas de la epoca en las que al individuo se le entendia como un animal mas, y a Jesus solo como a un ser notable. Chesterton en esta obra escribe a contracorriente de aquel cientificismo, en una apasionada cruzada en defensa del papel de Dios en la vida del ser humano.

El Club de los Negocios Raros está compuesto por seis narraciones que ejemplifican todos los méritos que hicieron destacar la figura de Chesterton y todas ellas giran alrededor de un oscuro y pintoresco Club, para pertenecer al cual es necesario haber inventado una profesion o industria absolutamente nueva.

Todos los relatos del padre Brown, el inmortal personaje de Chesterton, reunidos por primera vez en castellano, incluyendo tres relatos no publicados en las ediciones originales. El pequeño sacerdote-detective que resuelve sus intrincados casos gracias a un conocimiento sencillo y a la vez profundo de la naturaleza humana, tambien la del asesino y el ladron, se ha ganado un lugar entre los grandes detectives literarios, junto a Holmes, Miss Marple o Poirot. En sus aventuras se combinan la sabiduria y la inocencia, la agudeza y la hondura, el mundo y la religion, en el estilo fresco y paradojico tan caracteristico de su autor.

El hombre que fue Jueves (The man who was Thursday: A nightmare) es una novela de G. K. Chesterton, publicada en 1908.Aunque trata de los anarquistas, la novela no es una exploración o refutación de la filosofia anarquista; de filosofia "anarquizante" que es una rebelion contra Dios, y como tal, se basaria en muchos aspectos del existencialismo o del nihilismo.

El Padre J. Brown es un personaje de ficción creado por el novelista inglés Gilbert K. Chesterton (1874 – 1936). Es el protagonista de unas cincuenta historias cortas recopiladas posteriormente en ci
