«El jardín de humo y otros cuentos de intriga» is the short story collection by G. K. Chesterton, published by Valdemar in paperback (288 pages, in Spanish).
Four stories by Chesterton: in «Los árboles del orgullo», satire surrounds a mysterious disappearance; in «El jardín de humo», the marriage between a doctor and a novelist ends in crime amid opium smoke; «El cinco de espadas» mixes fencing, business and love; «La torre de la deslealtad» solves some crimes with an almost science-fiction device.
It belongs to the El Club Diógenes collection, number 232, and was published in 2005.
For readers of classic mystery and intrigue who appreciate Chesterton's satire and humour.
Gilbert Keith Chesterton was an English Christian apologist writer. Chesterton's wit, paradoxical style, and defence of tradition made him a dominant figure in early 20th-century literature.
