Om denne boken

Aunque existe una primera version, de fecha tan temprana como 1902, bajo el titulo de Twelve types, la edicion definitiva de estos veinte pequeños ensayos biograficos, plenamente chestertonianos, es de 1908. Publicados ahora por vez primera entre nosotros, en la excelente traduccion de Victoria Leon, la lectura de Tipos diversos supondria una sorpresa para los numerosos seguidores del gran escritor ingles, si no fuera porque en realidad Chesterton resulta siempre sorprendente. Pero si no es cosa nada sorprendente que Chesterton nos sorprenda, si tiene, al menos, tintes de novedad esta incursion de nuestro escritor en la microbiografia. Charlotte Bronte, Willian Morris, Byron, Stevenson, Carlyle, Tolstoi y Elizabeth Barret Browning, autores literarios habituales entre las predilecciones de Chesterton aparecen aqui, a menudo por vez primera, junto con algunos personajes historicos como Carlos II, Savonarola, Alfredo el Grande o la Reina Victoria, muy representativos de su epoca.
