All Father Brown Investigations

Gilbert Keith Chesterton is a recognized classic of English literature, one of the most vivid writers of the first half of the 20th century. His novels and numerous essays have become classics, but it was the stories about Father Brown,... a quiet, shy priest who masterfully unravels the most intricate mysteries and crimes, that earned him the love of readers. The publication of these stories, which began in 1911 with the collection "The Innocence of Father Brown," extended over a good quarter of a century, turning into a detective epic. Its wise and unpretentious hero does not deliver brilliant lectures in the spirit of Hercule Poirot and does not create great theories like Sherlock Holmes. He does not always strive to punish the criminal, but with humble irony and unwavering elegance puts everything in its place.
This edition, presenting the complete collection of stories about Father Brown, will make a wonderful gift for all lovers of English literature and quality detective prose.
