Book excerpt: G. K. Chesterton’s Father Brown may seem a pleasantly doddering Roman Catholic priest, but appearances deceive. With keen observation and an unerring sense of man’s frailties–gained during his years listening to confessions–Father Brown succeeds in bringing even the most elusive criminals to justice. This definitive collection of fifteen stories, selected by the American Chesterton Society, includes such classics as “The Blue Cross,” “The Secret Garden,” and “The Paradise of Thieves.” As P. D. James writes in her Introduction, “We read the Father Brown stories for a variety pleasures, including their ingenuity, their wit and intelligence, and for the brilliance of the writing. But they provide more. Chesterton was concerned with the greatest of all problems, the vagaries of the human heart.”

Download or read book The Innocence and Wisdom of Father Brown written by G K Chesterton and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2020-09-19 with total page 416 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first two Father Brown compilations in one volume.24 murder mysteries.Father Brown is a short, stumpy Roman Catholic priest, with shapeless clothes, a large umbrella, and an uncanny insight into human evil. Unlike the better-known fictional detective Sherlock Holmes, Father Brown's methods tend to be intuitive rather than deductive. His abilities are also considerably shaped by his experience as a priest and confessor. Father Brown was a vehicle for conveying English author G. K. Chesterton's view of the world and, of all of his characters, is perhaps closest to Chesterton's own point of view, or at least the effect of his point of view. Father Brown solves his crimes through a strict reasoning process more concerned with spiritual and philosophic truths than with scientific details, making him an almost equal counterbalance with Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes, whose stories Chesterton read.Father Brown appeared in 53 short stories published between 1910 and 1936. This book contains "The Innocence of Father Brown" (1911) and "The Wisdom of Father Brown" (1914).
