«Santo Tomás de Aquino» is the biographical essay by G. K. Chesterton, published by Homo Legens in 2009 in paperback (176 pages, in Spanish).
Chesterton conceived this work in connection with his biography of Saint Francis of Assisi: two contemporaries who pursue the same course in very different ships. Far from an academic treatise, it traces a portrait of Thomas Aquinas's thought, accessible to the cultured reader, and revives the nickname «buey mudo».
Translation by María Luisa Balseiro Fernández-Campoamor. The volume belongs to the Biografías Breves collection from Homo Legens.
Suitable for readers interested in medieval philosophy, theology, or biographies who want a first agile approach to the thought of the Aquinate.

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.
