Poeta i wariaci

Gilbert Keith Chesterton

Poeta i wariaci to zbiór sensacyjnych opowiadań, których bohaterem jest Gabriel Gale - roztargniony poeta i natchniony malarz. Chociaż na pierwszy rzut oka wygląda on na człowieka zupełnie oderwanego od rzeczywistości i żyjącego w swoim własnym wyimaginowanym świecie, to jednak dzięki swej niezwykłej intuicji i umiejętności twórczego myślenia okazuje się zdolny do rozwiązywania najbardziej skomplikowanych zagadek detektywistycznych. Jego przewaga nad innymi wynika z tego, że nie pozostaje on więźniem pięciu zmysłów, lecz dostrzega głębszy, duchowy wymiar rzeczywistości. Niektórzy widzą w jego zachowaniu szaleństwo, ale tak naprawdę jest to wolność od schematów i konwenansów, co pozwala mu na świeżość spojrzenia - tak jak owemu dziecku z baśni Andersena, które jako jedyne zobaczyło, że król jest nagi. Poznało prawdę, gdyż było wolne od głosu opinii publicznej i presji większości.
