The Crimes of England

Meer over het boek

Known for his paradoxical writing style, Chesterton's works often incorporate popular sayings and allegories, turning them on their head. He created the beloved character Father Brown, a priest-detective, and wrote influential texts on apologetics, including Orthodoxy and The Everlasting Man, which resonate widely even among critics. Identifying as an "orthodox" Christian, he ultimately converted to Roman Catholicism from high church Anglicanism, reflecting his deep engagement with faith and philosophy throughout his literary career.
