Produktinformationen zu „The Incredulity of Father Brown (Warbler Classics) (ePub)“
G. K. Chesterton's celebrity priest-detective returns in The Incredulity of Father Brown (1926), the third of five collections of short stories featuring Father Brown. The book begins with reports of Father Brown's death in "The Resurrection of Father Brown" and includes the popular tales "The Curse of the Golden Cross," "The Doom of the Darnaways," and "The Ghost of Gideon Wise." Father Brown employs his legendary intuition to solve a raft of perplexing crimes and mysteries with his characteristic self-deprecating charm. Chesterton's wildly popular Father Brown stories-which he continued to write until his death in 1936-are among the most beloved of the detective fiction genre. This Warbler Classics edition includes an extensive biographical timeline.
Autoren-Porträt von G. K. Chesterton
G. K. Chesterton (1874-1936) was a prolific English writer, philosopher, lay theologian, and literary and art critic. He is best known in mystery circles as the creator of the fictional priest-detective Father Brown and for the metaphysical thriller The Man Who Was Thursday. Often referred to as "the prince of paradox," Chesterton frequently made his points by turning familiar sayings and proverbs inside out. Chesterton attended the Slade School of Art, a department of University College London, where he took classes in illustration and literature, though he did not complete a degree in either subject. In 1895, at the age of twenty-one, he began working for the London publisher George Redway. A year later he moved to another publisher, T. Fisher Unwin, where he undertook his first work in journalism, illustration, and literary criticism. In addition to writing fifty-three Father Brown stories, Chesterton authored articles and books of social criticism, philosophy, theology, economics, literary criticism, biography, and poetry.
