Description: The Secret of Father Brown The Secret of Father Brown G. K. Chesterton The Secret of Father Brown is the fourth collection of short stories by G. K. Chesterton featuring the character of Father Brown, a short, stocky Roman Catholic priest who spends much of his time sleuthing about and solving crimes and mysteries using his intuition and understanding of human nature, especially evil. The book jacket blurb states that “Father Brown is the one detective in English fiction, besides Sherlock Holmes, whose entertaining personality is so human and unique that he has achieved a living individuality.” The “secret” of Father Brown is that he can understand the murderer from within, as described below. “I don’t try to get outside the man. I try to get inside the murderer… Indeed, it’s much more than that, don’t you see? I am inside a man. I am always inside a man, moving his arms and legs; but I wait till I know I am inside a murderer, thinking his thoughts, wrestling with his passions; till I have bent myself into the posture of his hunched and peering hatred; till I see the world with his bloodshot and squinting eyes, looking between the blinkers of his half-witted concentration; looking up the short and sharp perspective of a straight road to a pool of blood. Till I am really a murderer.” Play sample: Product Details Read by: Kirsten Wever Length: 8 hours and 48 minutes Type: Solo readings Media: MP3 CD Package: CD jacket Item No.: CJ-1347 EAN/UPC: 0674012595771 List Price: $9.99 Credits Production Book Coordinator: Kirsten Wever Meta Coordinator: TriciaG Proof Listener: TriciaG Artwork Cover: Cover of the first edition, Cassell & Co., London, 1927 Inset: Photo of Gilbert Keith Chesterton, author unknown The Recordings About MP3 Audio This MP3 digital audiobook is duplicated on compact disc in the MP3 audio format and is designed to play on any computer.
