Chesterton, belongs to a peculiar literary variety. Although its external coating is that of an ingenious detective plot, where suspense and surprise play a prominent role, critics have seen in this work a thesis novel; also a police fantasy, a dreamlike tale, or a political pamphlet. Chesterton's keen sense of humor launches his poisoned darts against Schopenhauer's philosophy, embodied in the professor of Worms, against Nietzsche's thought or the emerging anarchist ideology of his time. According to Chesterton, it was a new type of novel, a story in which modern thoughts are typified, but not with arguments, but with symbolic incidents: an allegorical comedy. His proverbial ingenuity allowed him to tell two stories at once: an entertaining and superficial one, and another transcendent and enigmatic one, linking the events of the story with biblical verses, although he was intelligent enough so that this message would not drown the story: he preferred that lightness and a sense of humor prevail over any other consideration when narrating the adventures of detective and poet Gabriel Syme in his fantastic crusade against an anarchist conspiracy, in an emblematic London, the city of the end of days, a huge Leviathan in which the definitive battle between Good and Evil is fought.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-12713480\"\u003eG.
