Autorenporträt
G. K. Chesterton, foi um escritor, poeta, dramaturgo, jornalista, palestrante, biógrafo, e crítico de arte inglês. Chesterton é muitas vezes referido como o "príncipe do paradoxo".Sobre seu estilo, a revista Time comentou: "Sempre que possível Chesterton produz seus pontos com ditos populares, provérbios, alegorias - primeiro, cuidadosamente, virando-os de dentro para fora." Chesterton é bem conhecido por seu personagem de ficção, o sacerdote-detetive Padre Brown, e por sua apologética. Mesmo seus oponentes reconheceram a importância de textos como Ortodoxia ou O Homem Eterno. Um dos principais admiradores de Chesterton foi o escritor argentino Jorge Luís Borges, que viu no inglês um escritor na linha de Franz Kafka e Edgar Allan Poe, reconhecendo, contudo, um estilo que deu a Chesterton sua própria originalidade.
