The Club of Queer Trades de G. K. Chesterton

The Club of Queer Trades

Autor G. K. Chesterton
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 31 mai 2020
The brilliant English author G. K. Chesterton, widely known for his style of blending philosophy and theology into his writing, has taken the classic whodunnit genre and turned it upside down with his collection of mysteries, The Club of Queer Trades. Filled with Chesterton's masterful storytelling and his strong held belief of questioning the truth, The Club of Queer Trades is more than just a mystery novel. Instead, Chesterton takes his readers on a lighthearted, but deeply moving journey that cannot easily be forgotten after being put down. This short, yet wild 20th century novel contains six amusing stories which follows a club of eccentric characters, all who have peculiar trades in which they make a living from. The narrator, "Cherub" Swinburne, is a detective who is tasked with investigating the problems that crop up from the club members' unique situations. With his friend Basil Grant, a retired judge, the two end up in whacky adventures while trying to solve these queer mysteries, sometimes finding that unquestioned facts can be unreliable. With Chesterton's genius writing, his delightfully weird characters, and the quirky mysteries that need solving, The Club of Queer Trades is a short, but immeasurably satisfying read.

Notă biografică

G. K. Chesterton (1874-1936) was a prolific English writer, philosopher, lay theologian, and literary and art critic. He is best known in mystery circles as the creator of the fictional priest-detective Father Brown and for the metaphysical thriller The Man Who Was Thursday. Often referred to as "the prince of paradox," Chesterton frequently made his points by turning familiar sayings and proverbs inside out. Chesterton attended the Slade School of Art, a department of University College London, where he took classes in illustration and literature, though he did not complete a degree in either subject. In 1895, at the age of twenty-one, he began working for the London publisher George Redway. A year later he moved to another publisher, T. Fisher Unwin, where he undertook his first work in journalism, illustration, and literary criticism. In addition to writing fifty-three Father Brown stories, Chesterton authored articles and books of social criticism, philosophy, theology, economics, literary criticism, biography, and poetry.
