Synopsis "San Francisco de Asís (in Spanish)"

La célebre biografía sobre San Francisco de Asís aparece en 1923. Chesterton quiere demostrar que la vida de un santo puede ser una historia mucho más romántica que la mejor de las novelas. La admiración de Chesterton hacia San Francisco está ligada a su convicción de que la inocencia, la risa y la humildad infantiles, son superiores a cualquier forma de escepticismo. Un libro inspirador.

G. K. Chesterton (London, May 29, 1874 – Beaconsfield, June 14, 1936) was a prolific British writer, author of essays, novels, poetry, biographies, and Christian apologetics. His work is characterized by irony, paradoxical wit, and a critical view of modernity. He was a prominent convert to Catholicism and an influential figure in religious and literary thought of his time. He is also known for his brilliant argumentative style and his defense of common sense.

Among his most recognized works are The Man Who Was Thursday (1908), Orthodoxy (1908), The Innocence of Father Brown (1911), Heretics (1905), The Ball and the Cross (1909), and The Resurrection of Rome (1930). He cultivated the essay, the novel of ideas, detective stories, and social and religious criticism.
