À propos de ce livre

This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.

The Wisdom of Father Brown (1914) is G.K. Chesterton's second collection of short stories featuring his beloved detective-priest, Father Brown. Twelve self-contained mysteries take the little round-faced clergyman from the consulting-rooms of a criminologist at Scarborough to a castle by the Cornish sea, from a London theatre to the forests of Brazil. Armed not with methods but with an unfailing insight into human nature, Father Brown solves crimes of theft, imposture and murder — aided, and sometimes tested, by his old adversary-turned-friend, the reformed master-thief Flambeau. Chesterton's paradox-rich prose and moral vision make these among the most celebrated detective stories in the English language.
