G. K. Chesterton
**G.K. Chesterton** (1874–1936) est l'un des écrivains anglais les plus prolifiques et influents du XXe siècle. Journaliste, essayiste, romancier et poète, il est notamment célèbre pour sa série *Father Brown* et ses débats publics avec des figures comme George Bernard Shaw. Son œuvre, marquée par un style paradoxal et une pensée critique, aborde des thèmes aussi variés que la religion, la politique, la culture populaire et la liberté individuelle. *Eugenics and Other Evils* reste l'un de ses textes les plus percutants, où il dénonce avec clairvoyance les dangers de l'eugénisme et les dérives d'un État tout-puissant.
