Gilbert Keith Chesterton is a recognized classic of English literature, one of the most brilliant writers of the first half of the 20th century. His novels and numerous essays became classics, but it was the stories about Father Brown, a quiet, shy priest who masterfully solved the most intricate mysteries and crimes, who brought him the love of the mass reader. The publication of these stories, which began in 1911 with the collection “The Ignorance of Father Brown,” lasted for a good quarter of a century, turning into a detective epic. Its wise and unassuming hero does not give brilliant lectures in the spirit of Hercule Poirot and does not create great theories like Sherlock Holmes. He does not even always strive to punish the criminal, but with humble irony and constant grace he puts everything in its place. This publication, representing a complete collection of stories about Father Brown, will be a real gift for all lovers of English literature and high-quality detective prose.
