About Twelve Types by G. K. Chesterton
Twelve Types is twelve mini-biographies by Chesterton on such figures as St. Francis, Alexander Pope, Savonarola, Sir Walter Scott, Leo Tolstoy, and more. Gilbert Keith Chesterton, KC*SG (1874 – 1936), better known as G. K. Chesterton, was an English writer, poet, philosopher, dramatist, journalist, orator, lay theologian, biographer, and literary and art critic. Chesterton is often referred to as the "prince of paradox". Time magazine has observed of his writing style: "Whenever possible Chesterton made his points with popular sayings, proverbs, allegories—first carefully turning them inside out."
