Books with author Chesterton,

Undimmed by the 100 years since its publication, the short story collection The Innocence of Father Brown still speaks to readers of the unmatched genius in G.K. Chesterton’s masterful prose. Indeed, the collection was published in 1911 – before the sinking of the Titanic, before either of the World Wars – yet the stories here, which introduce Chesterton’s most famous character Father Brown, as well as the reformed criminal Flambeau, still contain all the urgency and readability of modern-day novels in this genre. Written with cleverness and an obvious love of language and storytelling, Innocence is a must for mystery fans.

Gilbert Keith Chesterton (1874-1936) was an English literary and social critic, historian, playwright, poet, Catholic theologian, debater, mystery writer and foremost, a novelist. Among the primary achievements of Chesterton's extensive writing career are the wide range of subjects written about, the large number of genres employed, and the sheer volume of publications produced. He wrote several plays, around 80 books, several hundred poems, some 200 short stories and 4000 essays. Chesterton's writings without fail displayed wit and a sense of humor by incorporating paradox, yet still making serious comments on the world, government, politics, economics, theology, philosophy and many other topics. Chesterton saw England as being a culture in transition and in conflict with itself, and the struggles he saw play out dramatically in his story, "The Flying Inn". It is a tale of a man who is confronted by modern cultural trends. Mr. Humphrey Pump wants to visit the local pub in pursuit of a pleasant hour, but finds it is being shut down due to an unhealthy anachronism.
