About the Author
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. mostrar mais 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.

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 sustenta nesta obra o quão único é o ser humano, contra as teses então vigentes. Escrito num momento em que o Darwinismo social era a corrente dominante, Chesterton contestou violentamente a tese de que a sociedade caminha de um estado primitivo e bárbaro para a civilização. «Barbárie e civilização não foram estádios que se sucederam no progresso do mundo», afirmou, recorrendo a histórias do Egipto e da Babilónia para a sua contra-argumentação.
Gilbert Keith Chesterton, conhecido como G. K. Chesterton (1874-1936) foi um escritor, poeta, narrador, ensaísta, jornalista, historiador, biógrafo, filósofo, desenhista e conferencista britânico. Depois de «Ortodoxia» (1909), reeditado pela Alêtheia em 2008, reedita-se agora esta obra de referência para a literatura e pensamento mundial.
E se o que torna o humano único é o facto de ser humano? É esta a questão lançada por G. K. Chesterton na obra «O Homem Eterno» pela primeira vez editada em 1925 mas que permanece mais actual que nunca, num momento em que se assinala o bicentenário do nascimento de Charles Darwin.
Em resposta ao evolucionismo, Chesterton sustenta nesta obra o quão único é o ser humano, contra as teses então vigentes.
