«El candor del padre Brown» is the collection of detective stories by Gilbert Keith Chesterton, published by Edaf in paperback (260 pages, in Spanish).
Father Brown, a Catholic priest of simple appearance, solves baffling crimes using intuition and a deep knowledge of human nature, in contrast with the scientific and ultra-rational detective. Chesterton turns these detective stories into a moral reflection on good, evil and the contradictions of the human being.
First instalment of the Father Brown series, originally published in 1911; edition in Biblioteca Edaf with an introduction by Fernando Martínez Laínez and a translation by Fermín Navascués.
Fans of mystery and early 20th-century British fiction will find in this title a classic of the detective genre.
Gilbert Keith Chesterton was an English Christian apologist writer. Chesterton's wit, paradoxical style, and defence of tradition made him a dominant figure in early 20th-century literature.
