Synopsis

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 pintoresco club, para pertenecer al cual es necesario haber inventado una profesión o industria absolutamente nueva. Sobre esta base aparentemente trivial, Chesterton combina el misterio con la paradoja y el humor, y consigue mantener al lector en estado de «suspensión» permanente, haciéndole caminar de sorpresa en sorpresa por los senderos de sus ingeniosas tramas e invenciones. Chesterton, que tuvo el buen gusto de prodigarse en el relato, debería figurar como miembro de honor de su incomparable Club de Negocios Raros, por haber inventado la rara industria de complacer y maravillar al lector.

About the Author

Gilbert Keith Chesterton was born in London, England, in 1874. He went on to study art at the Slade School, and literature at University College in London. Chesterton wrote a great deal of poetry, as well as works of social and literary criticism. Among his most notable books are "The Man Who Was Thursday", a metaphysical thriller, and "The Everlasting Man", a history of humankind's spiritual progress. After Chesterton converted to Catholicism in 1922, he wrote mainly on religious topics such as "Orthodoxy" and "Heretics". Chesterton is most known for creating the famous priest-detective character Father Brown, who first appeared in "The Innocence of Father Brown". Chesterton died in 1936 at the age of 62.
