Sobre este libro

A short, shabby Essex priest with a broken umbrella turns out to know more about crime than the police, because he has spent his life hearing men confess it. Twelve stories: a cross of sapphires, a waiter who is also a gentleman, an invisible man who walks past four witnesses. Chesterton took the priest from John O'Connor, a real Yorkshire curate who shocked him one afternoon by knowing more of human evil than the novelist did. A hundred plates of portraits and quiet landscapes, from Watts to Orpen, keep the book's eye on the ordinary faces where Chesterton's priest finds sin and mercy alike.
