Contrary to first impressions, G. K. Chestertons Father Brown is not senile, nor easily rattled. In fact, this village priest wanders into challenges that pale in comparison to the things he has heard through the screen of the confessional. For to hear Father Brown tell it, crime is a manifestation of sin: the criminal must be caught, but he or she must also be saved; the culprit has to be locked up, but the spirit must be freed.
关于作者
G. K. Chesterton (1874-1936) was a larger-than-life writer who fascinates and perplexes us to this day. An art student who became a poet, and then by turns a journalist, playwright, biographer, novelist, storyteller, philosopher, and ‘Christian apologist, ‘ his fame rested on an uncanny ability to produce vast quantities of crystalline prose quickly and without apparent effort. His fiction–particularly the Father Brown stories and the delirious suspense novel
The Man Who Was Thursday–remains his most widely read and entertaining works.
