Manalive is a novel written by G.K. Chesterton, first published in 1912. The story revolves around a man named Innocent Smith who is accused of various crimes, including burglary and attempted murder. However, when he is brought to trial, he manages to persuade the jury that he is innocent by showing them how he has brought joy and life to everyone he has met. The novel is a philosophical exploration of the concept of living and what it means to truly be alive. Chesterton uses his trademark wit and humor to delve into deeper themes of morality, religion, and the human condition. The characters in the novel are all unique and eccentric, with their own quirks and flaws, and their interactions with Innocent Smith provide a commentary on society and its values. Manalive is a thought-provoking and entertaining read that challenges readers to question their own beliefs and perceptions of what it means to live a full and meaningful life.All next day at Beacon House there was a crazy sense that it was everybody's birthday. It is the fashion to talk of institutions as cold and cramping things. The truth is that when people are in exceptionally high spirits, really wild with freedom and invention, they always must, and they always do, create institutions.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
