เกี่ยวกับผู้แต่ง
Gilbert Keith Chesterton, born on May 29, 1874, in Kensington, London, was a prolific English writer, poet, philosopher, dramatist, journalist, orator, lay theologian, biographer, and literary and art critic. With his writings encompassing a broad range of subjects, Chesterton became a notable figure in Edwardian literature and was often regarded for his distinctive wit and his ability to debate with a sense of humor. His writing style combined elements of fantasy, allegory, and paradox, challenging his readers to look at the world in new ways. Although better known for his fiction, particularly the Father Brown detective series, and his Christian apologetics, such as ‘Orthodoxy’ and ‘The Everlasting Man’, he also contributed to historical literature. His ‘History of England’, while less famous than some of his other works, demonstrates Chesterton’s broader literary capabilities and his penchant for offering unique perspectives on established narratives. Chesterton’s influence extends beyond literature; his thought has left a lasting impact on Christian apologetics and has inspired various future scholars and writers. He passed away on June 14, 1936, but his extensive body of work continues to inspire and entertain readers around the world.
