Father Brown, a small priest with an absent-minded air, solves the crimes the police cannot understand. One day, an American visitor finally asks him for his secret. The priest's answer is surprising: to find the culprit, he puts himself in his shoes, to the point of imagining that he committed the crime himself.
This collection brings together eight short cases, such as “The Mirror of the Magistrate” and “The Man with Two Beards”. In Chesterton's stories, cleverness counts for less than knowledge of the human heart.
You can read each case in one sitting in the language you are learning.
