The Innocence of Father Brown

Gilbert Keith Chesterton — an outstanding writer, poet, and thinker, a classic of English literature. His stories about Father Brown, a humble Catholic priest who brilliantly uncovers the most unusual crimes, brought him worldwide fame and the love of readers. Chesterton dedicated a significant part of his life to creating the novella cycle about Father Brown, which began with the collection «The Innocence of Father Brown». Will Father Brown be able to protect the precious relic and himself from the villain's encroachments? Who managed to commit a daring theft in front of twenty-six witnesses? How to catch an invisible murderer? And why should a fourth murder weapon be sought among the three? Behind Father Brown's unassuming exterior lies the inquisitive mind of a detective, the gentle irony of a sage, and genuine Christian kindness — qualities that help clarify the essence of the most mysterious events. The book is illustrated by the talented artist Peter Lyubaev.
