рдпрд╛ рдСрдбрд┐рдУрдмреБрдХрд╡рд┐рд╖рдпреА
A fictional priest and amateur detective named Father Brown had a face once described тАЬas round and dull as a Norfolk dumpling.тАЭ This made him appear somewhat clumsy and na├пve, but that didnтАЩt take into account his keen understanding of human nature and exceptional intuition. English writer G. K. Chesterton created the character, writing fifty-three short stories over the years and gaining widespread popularity, later on TV as well. All of the stories youтАЩre about to hear were originally printed in the Saturday Evening Post magazine, with the first in 1910. Those tales are as follows:
тАЬThe Blue CrossтАЭтАЬThe Secret GardenтАЭтАЬThe Queer FeetтАЭтАЬThe Flying StarsтАЭтАЬThe Invisible ManтАЭтАЬThe Honour of Israel GowтАЭтАЬThe Wrong ShapeтАЭтАЬThe Sins of Prince SaradineтАЭтАЬThe Hammer of GodтАЭтАЬThe Eye of ApolloтАЭтАЬThe Sign of the Broken SwordтАЭтАЬThe Three Tools of DeathтАЭ

Gilbert Keith Chesterton (1874тАУ1936) published numerous works which include compilations of his voluminous journalism, novels, biographies, histories, criticism, Christian apologetics, poetry, and plays. Many of his novels have the genuine marks of genius. His books on Dickens (for whom he had a considerable affinity) and Saint Thomas Aquinas are considered classics in their fields.
