About this title

About the Author

G. K. Chesterton was one of the most beloved and prolific authors of the twentieth century. He wrote dozens of popular books on a variety of topics and thousands of essays. His works include Orthodoxy, The Everlasting Man, The Man Who Was Thursday, and the Father Brown mystery stories.

Review

"The Three Novels in this Volume are philosophical adventures designed to make us see life. Not simply to see life, but see it in a new and brighter light, to see it more abundantly. As one of the novels suggests, to be alive is not the same thing as being merely alive, in the same way that to have eyes is not the same thing as to see, and to have a mind is not the same thing as to understand."
