书籍简介

推理文学黄金时期的巅峰之作，虚拟环境下最好看的高智商游戏；

最经典、最大气的装帧设计；

最全面、最值得收藏的精装版本

与爱伦•坡的杜宾和柯南•道尔的福尔摩斯并称为世界三大名探；

丘吉尔、希区柯克、克里斯蒂最推崇的推理小说。

书中的主人公是一个身材矮小圆胖，戴着又大又圆的眼镜，穿着黑色牧师长袍的神父布朗。他言语木讷，行动迟缓，时常给人呆头呆脑、笨手笨脚的印象。他表面上看起来总是一副与探案无关的样子，事实上却富于洞察力和逻辑推理能力，对于各种犯罪心理了如指掌，常常能“解释不可解释的事情，找出不可能犯罪的罪犯”。他并非以暴力和血腥来吸引读者，也一反福尔摩斯以智巧破案的常规，而是借助于对人性心理的洞悉，作出充满智慧的分析推理，寻找离奇的案件背后难以觉察的真相。布朗神父早已成为千千万万推理小说迷心中不可颠覆的神探形象，深受读者喜爱。

The complete adventures of the well-loved clerical sleuth, collected in one brilliant volume. Shabby and lumbering, with a face like a Norfolk dumpling, Father Brown makes for an improbable super-sleuth. But his innocence is the secret of his success: refusing the scientific method of detection, he adopts instead an approach of simple sympathy, interpreting each crime as a work of art, and each criminal as a man no worse than himself.

This complete edition brings together all of the Father Brown stories, including two not previously available in Penguin: "The Donnington Affair", in which Chesterton rises to the challenge of solving a murder-mystery half written by someone else (Max Pemberton), and "The Mask of Midas", which was found in Chesterton's papers after his death. It also includes an introduction and notes by Michael D. Hurley.

作者简介

G.K.切斯特顿（Gilbert Keith Chesterton），英国小说家、评论家、诗人、新闻记者、随笔作家、传记作家、剧作家和插图画家，一个令人叹服的天才。他所创作最著名的角色是“布朗神父”，首开以犯罪心理学方式推理案情之先河，与福尔摩斯注重物证推理的派别分庭抗礼。

G.K. Chesteron was born in 1874. He attended the Slade School of Art, where he appears to have suffered a nervous breakdown, before turning his hand to journalism. A prolific writer throughout his life, his best-known books include The Napoleon of Notting Hill (1904), The Man Who Knew Too Much(1922), The Man Who Was Thursday (1908) and the Father Brown stories. Chesterton converted to Roman Catholicism in 1922 and died in 1938. Michael D. Hurley is a Lecturer in English at the University of Cambridge, and a Fellow of St Catharine's College. He has written widely on English literature from the nineteenth century to the present day, with an emphasis on poetry and poetics. His book on G. K. Chesterton was published in 2011.
