Представяме ви отец Браун, симпатичния нисичък свещеник детектив с простодупното лице и голям чадър, който знае повече за тъмната страна на човешката природа и за престъплението от самите престъпници.

Но Сизиф учи на висшата вярност, която отрича боговете и повдига камъни. Вселената, занапред без господар, не му се струва нито ялова, нито ... |
