Description

Perhaps the most light-hearted of all Chesterton's "serious" works, in Manalive we follow the madcap adventure of Innocent Smith.

Innocent Smith is a man who keeps the commandments but breaks all the conventions, and while doing so he shows us just how absurd those conventions are.

Follow him as he breaks into his own house, and then carries on a torrid affair with his own wife.

Enjoy a picnic on the roof and then leave home just for the sake of returning home.

A joyous and uplifting book.Gilbert Keith Chesterton was an English writer with a prolific and diverse output which included philosophy, ontology, poetry, play writing, journalism, public lecturing and debating, literary and art criticism, biography, Christian apologetics, and fiction, including fantasy and detective fiction.

Chesterton has been called the "prince of paradox". Time magazine, in a review of a biography of Chesterton, observed of his writing style: "Whenever possible Chesterton made his points with popular sayings, proverbs, allegories-first carefully turning them inside out."
