Manalive

Overview

Perhaps the most light-hearted of all Chesterton's serious works, Manalive pits a group of disillusioned young people against Mr. Innocent Smith, a eccentric, high-spirited gentleman who literally falls into their midst. Although of questionable character, Smith prompts his newfound acquaintances to recognize an important idea: that life is worth living.

Bio of G. K. Chesterton

Gilbert Keith Chesterton was born in London, England, in 1874. He began his education at St Paul's School, and later went on to study art at the Slade School, and literature at University College in London. Chesterton wrote a great deal of poetry, as well as works of social and literary criticism. Among his most notable books are The Man Who Was Thursday, a metaphysical thriller, and The Everlasting Man, a history of humankind's spiritual progress. After Chesterton converted to Catholicism in 1922, he wrote mainly on religious topics. Chesterton is most known for creating the famous priest-detective character Father Brown, who first appeared in "The Innocence of Father Brown." Chesterton died in 1936 at the age of 62.
