ISBN: 9781500632137
Category : Brown, Father (Fictitious character)
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
Father Brown is frequently less concerned with the apprehension of the wrongdoer than with getting him to understand, and admit, the error of his ways. With his keen powers of observation, attention to detail, and a knowledge of crime and criminals derived in no small part from his years as a priest hearing confessions, Father Brown often finds the solution through a strictly rational reasoning process more concerned with psychological, spiritual and philosophic truths than with scientific investigaion. This particular volume contains twelve of Chesterton's original Father Brown adventures, first published as individual short stories and collected and published in book form under the title "The Wisdom of Father Brown" in 1914.

The Scandal of Father Brown
Author: G K Chesterton
Publisher: Penguin UK
ISBN: 0141393351
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 175
Book Description
'It would not be fair to record the adventures of Father Brown, without admitting that he was once involved in a grave scandal...It happened in a picturesque Mexican road-house of rather loose repute...' After many years in the priesthood, Father Brown knows human nature and is not afraid of its dark side. In this fifth and final series of mysteries, the clerical mastermind confronts slander, passion, radical politics, superstition, high crimes and misdemeanours, outwitting some quite extraordinary and villainous adversaries on the way. G. K. Chesterton was born in 1874. He attended the Slade School of Art, where he appears to have suffered a nervous breakdown, before turning his hand to journalism. A prolific writer throughout his life, his best- known books include The Napoleon of Notting Hill (1904), The Man Who Knew Too Much (1922), The Man Who Was Thursday (1908) and the Father Brown stories. Chesterton converted to Roman Catholicism in 1922 and died in 1938. 'Chesterton knew how to make the most of a detective story' Jorge Luis Borges

Book Description
The first book of G.K. Chesterton's ingenious, thoughtful, and lyrically written mystery stories featuring the unassuming little priest who solves crimes by imagining himself inside the mind and soul of criminals, thus understanding their motives. The stories are full of paradox, spiritual insight, and "Chestertonian fantasy", or seeing the extraordinary in the ordinary. Father Brown is a direct challenge to the conventional detective and in many ways he is more amusing and ingenious.
