About this book
In the early 20th century, societal norms were shifting, challenging the status quo and igniting debates on individual freedom. In "Manalive" by G. K. Chesterton, readers encounter Innocent Smith, a character whose vibrant presence upends the lives of those in a quiet boarding house. Through themes of existentialism and the quest for authenticity, the novel explores the tension between societal expectations and personal liberation. Chesterton's sharp wit and philosophical musings invite students and civic activists alike to reflect on the nature of happiness and the essence of being alive. As Innocent's chaotic journey unfolds, the narrative raises profound questions about the meaning of life and the choices that define us.
