Differentiated book- It has a historical context with research of the time-The purpose of realizing this historical context is to approach the understanding of a historical epoch from the elements provided by the text.

It is necessary to unravel what its author or authors have said, how it has been said, when, why and where, always relating it to its historical moment. Father J. Brown is a fictional character created by the English novelist G. K. Chesterton (1874-1936). He is the protagonist of about fifty short stories subsequently collected in five books. To create this character, Chesterton was inspired by Father John O'Connor (1870-1952), priest of Bradford, Yorkshire, who was related to the conversion to Catholicism of Chesterton in 1922. O'Connor himself recorded this link in his 1937 book Father Brown on Chesterton. Father Brown is a naive-looking Catholic priest whose psychological sharpness makes him a formidable detective. Chubby-looking, "formerly in Cobhole, Essex, and now working in London," it is accompanied by a huge umbrella and usually resolves the most enigmatic, atrocious and inexplicable crimes thanks to its knowledge of human nature rather than logical reasoning. .
