Записки патера Брауна
Гілберт Кіт Честертон (1874—1936) - визнаний класик англійської літератури, один з найяскравіших письменників першої половини XX століття. Його романи і численні есе стали класикою, проте любов читача принесли розповіді про патера Брауна - тихого, соромливого священика, що майстерно розкриває найбільш заплутані загадки і злочини. Видання цих оповідань розпочалоя 1911 року і розтягнулося на добру чверть століття, перетворившись на детективну епопею. Її мудрий і невибагливий герой навіть не завжди прагне покарати злочинця, але розставляє все по місцях.
