{"product_id":"the-man-who-knew-too-g-k-chesterton-9781602068995","title":"The Man Who Knew Too Much","description":"British writer GILBERT KEITH CHESTERTON (1874-1936) expounded prolifically about his wide-ranging philosophies-he is impossible to categorize as \"liberal\" or \"conservative,\" for instance-across a wide variety of avenues: he was a literary critic, historian, playwright, novelist, columnist, and poet. His witty, humorous style earned him the title of the \"prince of paradox,\" and his works-80 books and nearly 4,000 essays-remain among the most beloved in the English language Chesterton is best remembered, perhaps, as a teller of mystery tales. This 1922 collection of eight short mysteries includes all the stories starring the unlikely detective Horne Fisher, a man cut from the upper crust of Britain whose in-depth knowledge of the nation's powermongers often curtails his investigations into corruption at the highest levels of government. Sometimes chided for demonstrating Chesterton's supposed anti-Semitism, these stories remains an intriguing look at British society in the pre-Great War era. In this volume: . \"The Face in the Target\" . \"The Vanishing Prince\" . \"The Soul of the Schoolboy\" . \"The Bottomless Well\" . \"The Fad of the Fisherman\" . \"The Hole in the Wall\" . \"The Temple of Silence\" . \"The Vengeance of the Statue\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e G.
