Лучшие расследования отца Брауна
Гилберт Кит Честертон - признанный классик английской литературы, один из самых ярких писателей первой половины XX века. Классикой стали его романы и многочисленные эссе, однако любовь массового читателя принесли ему рассказы об отце Брауне, тихом, застенчивом священнике, мастерски раскрывающем наиболее запутанные загадки и преступления. Издание этих рассказов, начатое в 1911 году сборником "Неведение отца Брауна", растянулось на добрую четверть века, превратившись в детективную эпопею. Ее мудрый и непритязательный герой не читает блестящих лекций в духе Эркюля Пуаро и не создает великих теорий, подобно Шерлоку Холмсу. Он даже не всегда стремится наказать преступника, но со смиренной иронией и неизменным изяществом расставляет все по местам. Настоящее издание, представляющее лучшие рассказы об отце Брауне, станет настоящим подарком для всех любителей английской литературы и качественной детективной прозы.
