Drvlje oholosti

Gilbert K. Chesterton

Glavni lik S. Vane uvezao je tri “paunova stabla”, te se našao suočen s predrasudama praznovjernih mještana koji drže da ta stabla šire zarazu i proždiru ljude. Kako bi dokazao da nije tako, provodi noć među stablima, no ujutro misteriozno nestaje.

Za njim tragaju mjesni uglednici te u svojoj potrazi otkrivaju nezamislivu mrežu intriga. Na taj način u ovome djelu najbolja tradicija detektivske priče isprepleće se sa studijom o ljudskoj zlobi, praznovjerju, moralnom sljepilu, te porocima kao što su oholost i bahatost…
