The innocence of father Brown / Смиренність отця Брауна (English Library) (мг)

"The Innocence of Father Brown" is a collection of stories by one of the most brilliant English writers of the beginning of the 20th century Gilbert Keith Chesterton (1874—1936). The stories about Father Brown take the place of honour in the crime fiction and have won longstanding love of the readers of the world. Among other detective stories, they are remarkable for their depth of thought because the main hero of the stories is the priest who strives not only to take a criminal red-handed and clean a crime, but also to set him in the right way, to save a person's soul. In spite of a religious component, the book is not congested with moralizing, but imbued with unique English humour. It is incredibly engrossing and contains everything for the readers of crime fiction to enjoy it.
