Basil Grant always figures things out way ahead of any of the other characters, and generally before the reader (except in the case of the elms, it has to be admitted). The idea is simple - there are many, many clubs in London, but the most interesting of all is the club of queer trades, of forms of gainful employment that are in some way unique. Each chapter explores another of these companies, though the secret to that company must be figured out like a Sherlock Holmes riddle. Very inventive. El Club de los Negocios Raros está compuesto por seis narraciones que ejemplifican todos los méritos que hicieron destacar la figura de Chesterton y todas ellas giran alrededor de un oscuro y pintoresco Club, para pertenecer al cual es necesario haber inventado una profesión o industria absolutamente nueva. Sobre esta base aparentemente trivial, Chesterton combina el misterio con la paradoja y el humor y consigue mantener al lector en estado «de suspensión» permanente, haciéndole caminar de sorpresa en sorpresa por los senderos de sus ingeniosas tramas e invenciones. Chesterton, que tuvo el buen gusto de prodigarse en el relato, debería figurar como miembro de honor de su incomparable Club, por haber inventado la rara industria de complacer al lector. Would recommend to someone who has already read and liked Chesterton's "Father Brown" stories and/or "The Man who was Thursday" and still not sure if they would like this. I pretty much did but it strikes me as more "dated" and strangely worded than other Victorian literature. The oddness makes it a little off-putting but also makes it interesting & unique. inga recensioner | lägg till en recension

HTML: Equally well-known for his sophisticated philosophy tracts and his top-notch detective fiction, G.K. Chesterton was himself something of a literary jack-of-all-trades. This beloved collection of detective stories and mysteries is based on a club that is only open to those who rely on unusual or extraordinary lines of work as their main source of income. A fast-paced, purely enjoyable collection that is sure to tickle the fancy of classic detective fiction fans. .Inga biblioteksbeskrivningar kunde hittas. |

However, it must be said that perhaps I wasn't fully concentrated because I was travelling, and that's why perhaps I should read this slim work another time, just to be fair. ( )
