Father Brown, G. K. Chesterton's lovable little Norfolk priest, has an uncanny knack of unraveling mysteries that leave lesser mortals floundering. His sympathetic understanding of human nature never deserts him, even when he himself is touched by a breath of scandal, thanks to the hasty conclusions of a crusading newspaperman. In this collection, Father Brown uses his distinctive style of deduction to solve the seemingly insoluble.

Mrs. Marsh spends her days caring for her home and avoiding her neighbors whenever possible. A home invasion by a pompous goop and a monstrous, flaming rat creature will threaten her peaceful retirement plans.

Sixteen classic stories.

Chesterton's allegorical masterpiece is a surreal, psychologically thrilling novel that centres on seven anarchists in turn of the century London who call themselves by the names of days of the week. The story begins when poet Gabriel Syme is recruited as a detective to a secret anarchist division of Scotland Yard by a shrouded, nameless person. Syme infiltrates a secret meeting of anarchists who are intent on destroying the world and becomes known as 'Thursday', one of the seven members of the Central Anarchist Council.

The Man Who Was Thursday: A Nightmare tells the story of an anarchist Lucian Gregory, a poet who met Gabriel Syme, a new recruit to a secret anti-anarchist taskforce at Scotland Yard. Syme meets Gregory at a party and debates with him about the meaning of poetry.

This is a story from the The Innocence of Father Brown collection. Father Brown is an eccentric priest with his own particular ways of dealing with crime.

Der französische Polizeichef - Aristide Valentin persönlich - ist in London. Er verfolgt die Spur des großen Verbrechers Hercule Flambeau. Dieser hält sich in der Millionenstadt auf, um die Besucher eines Kirchenkongresses um Ihr Hab und Gut zu erleichtern, da ist sich Valentin sicher. Wer aber ist dieser einfältige Pater, der ihm im Zug begegnet, und sich anschließend äußerst merkwürdig verhält? Warum wirft er Suppenteller an die Wand, Obststände um und Fensterscheiben ein?

Another collection 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. In the title story, a beautiful (and married) rich woman has taken up with a distinguished poet and Father Brown, rather than reacting as expected, appears to be providing assistance.
