G. K. Chesterton's Manalive is a philosophical comedy and mystery story about the eccentric Mr. Innocent Smith, whose arrival at a London boarding house upends the residents' dull lives and leads to his trial for a host of serious crimes. Smith is accused of wild crimes, including burglary, polygamy, and attempted murder. The household convenes its own 'High Court of Beacon' to determine his guilt, leading to a comical and insightful trial. Through clever wit and paradox, the novel explores profound themes of joy, sanity, and the true nature of being alive, ultimately asking: can a man break every social convention yet still keep the commandments?
