  • Orthodoxy
    G.K. Chesterton / G.KChesterton
    This book is meant to be a companion to 'Heretics,' and to put the positive side in addition to the negative. Many critics complained of the book called 'Heretics' because it merely criticised current philosophies without offering any alternative philosophy. This book is an attempt to answer the challenge. It is unavoidably affirmative and therefore unavoidably autobiographical...

  • The Incredulity of Father Brown
    G.K. Chesterton / G.KChesterton
    There was a brief period during which Father Brown enjoyed, or rather did not enjoy, something like fame. He was a nine days’ wonder in the newspapers; he was even a common topic of controversy in the weekly reviews; his exploits were narrated eagerly and inaccurately in any number of clubs and drawing-rooms, especially in America. Incongruous and indeed incredible as it may se...

  • The Scandal of Father Brown
    G.K. Chesterton / G.KChesterton
    It would not be fair to record the adventures of Father Brown, without admitting that he was once involved in a grave scandal.

It happened in a picturesque Mexican road-house of rather loose repute, as appeared later; and to some it seemed that for once the pri...

    Flambeau, once the most famous criminal in France and later a very private detective in England, had long retired from both professions.

  • The Wisdom of Father Brown
    G.K. Chesterton / G.KChesterton
    Two men appeared simultaneously at the two ends of a sort of passage running along the side of the Apollo Theatre in the Adelphi.

The passage was comparatively long and dark, so each man could see the other as a mere black silhouette at the other end. Nevertheless, each man knew the other, even in...
