vi + 189hlm; 11x18cm G.K. Chesterton's novel 'Manalive' tells the story of Innocent Smith, an eccentric and lively man whose arrival at a gloomy London boarding house brings both joy and chaos. The novel is a philosophical exploration that uses humor and mystery to critique rigid social conventions and highlight the importance of rediscovering an appreciation for everyday life.Through Smith's adventures and trials, Chesterton explores the theme of the 'holy fool'—a character who challenges social conventions to reveal deeper truths. The novel's central message is that people often become so accustomed to life and their blessings that they forget to appreciate them. Smith, by breaking all conventions while still adhering to moral imperatives, demonstrates the absurdity of humdrum routine and inspires others to rediscover the wonder of everyday life.
