Stories about Father Brown

The book features detective novellas by Gilbert K. Chesterton (1874-1936) about the modest pastor Brown, whose insightful mind is capable of solving the most intricate crime.
The stories are adapted using Ilya Frank's method of educational reading: they are provided with a literal translation into Russian and necessary lexical-grammatical commentary (without simplifying the original text). The uniqueness of the method lies in the fact that memorization of words and expressions occurs through their repetition, without rote learning and the need to use a dictionary. Furthermore, the reader becomes accustomed to the logic of the English language and begins to "feel" it.
The guide facilitates effective language acquisition and can serve as a supplement to the educational program. It is intended for a wide audience of people studying English and interested in English culture.
