A propos de l'auteur
Gilbert Keith Chesterton was born in London, England, in 1874. He began his education at St Paul's School, and later 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. afficher plus 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. 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.

- G K Chesterton has been described as one of the most unjustly neglected writers of our time. Born in 1874 -when Kensington still formed part of Middlesex-, he became a journalist and later began writing books and pamphlets. His work includes novels, literary and social criticism, political papers and spiritual essays in a style characterised by enormous wit, paradox, humility and wonder. He converted to Catholicism in 1922 and he explores the nature of spirituality in many of his books and essays, including the mighty Orthodoxy.Chesterton created the fictional priest-detective Father Brown, and wrote on apologetics. Even some of those who disagree with him have recognised the wide appeal of such works as Orthodoxy and The Everlasting Man. Chesterton routinely referred to himself as an "orthodox" Christian, and came to identify this position more and more with Catholicism, eventually converting to Catholicism from High Church Anglicanism. Biographers have identified him as a successor to such Victorian authors as Matthew Arnold, Thomas Carlyle, Cardinal John Henry Newman, and John Ruskin. On his contributions, T. S. Eliot wrote,
He was importantly and consistently on the side of the angels. Behind the Johnsonian fancy-dress, so reassuring to the British public, he concealed the most serious and revolutionary designs—concealing them by exposure ... Chesterton's social and economic ideas...were fundamentally Christian and Catholic. He did more, I think, than any man of his time—and was able to do more than anyone else, because of his particular background, development and abilities as a public performer—to maintain the existence of the important minority in the modern world. He leaves behind a permanent claim upon our loyalty, to see that the work that he did in his time is continued in ours.

Chesterton compare l’influence de François à la naissance d’un enfant dans une maison sombre, un enfant qu’on sort des ténèbres et qu’on introduit à un nouvel esprit. Pendant mille ans, l’Église est restée sur la défensive, accumulant ses forces. François a décidé que le temps était venu de sortir de cet état de retranchement, de se défaire de ses possessions et de répandre beaucoup d’amour.
Bien des iconoclastes ont changé le monde, mais on leur en a d’abord voulu de le faire ; leur extrémisme est en quelque sorte contre-productif. L’amour authentique que François avait pour les gens lui a épargné ce destin. Pourtant, aujourd'hui encore, ce qu’il a fait pour la foi catholique n’intéresse que peu de gens. La légende le dépeint plutôt comme un individu généreux et amoureux de la vie et son histoire suscite presque toujours des réactions chaleureuses, même chez les non-chrétiens. Il y avait quelque chose de très simple dans sa personnalité. Son message, encore très touchant, pourrait se résumer ainsi : l’amour est plus important que le pouvoir.
N’eut été de sa vocation, François d’Assise aurait certainement été un simple produit de son époque et de sa culture, ne cherchant que la gloire militaire et l’amour d’une belle dame. Pourtant, comme le fait remarquer Chesterton, les motivations du romantique et celles du saint sont essentiellement les mêmes : ce qu’ils font - que ce soit rester une nuit entière sous le balcon d’une amoureuse ou construire une église à mains nues dans la neige -, ils le font animés par un amour fou. Et François était fondamentalement amoureux, amoureux des gens, des animaux, des plantes et de Dieu.
Malgré sa concision, le livre de Chesterton est riche en idées inspirantes. Sa façon d’argumenter et son langage parfois fleuri peuvent paraître quelque peu prétentieux, mais son étude a le mérite de présenter François comme une vraie personne. Le livre est plus une esquisse qu’un portrait grandeur nature, mais comme un dessin au trait de Picasso, il arrive à capter l’essence du personnage. Écrit peu de temps après la conversion de Chesterton au catholicisme, il témoigne de l’enthousiasme d’un nouvel initié, enthousiasme tout de même nuancé par le talent de l’auteur reconnu pour la justesse de ses études de caractère.… (plus d'informations)
