Tremendous Trifles is a collection of essays written by G.K. Chesterton, a renowned English writer and philosopher. The book is a compilation of Chesterton's musings on various topics, ranging from everyday occurrences to profound philosophical concepts. The essays are written in Chesterton's characteristic style, which is witty, humorous, and often paradoxical. The book is divided into two parts, with the first part containing essays on various topics, such as the importance of fairy tales, the value of boredom, and the joys of walking. The second part of the book contains essays that reflect Chesterton's views on religion, politics, and society. Through his essays, Chesterton challenges readers to think deeply about the world around them and to question conventional wisdom. Tremendous Trifles is a must-read for anyone who enjoys thought-provoking essays and Chesterton's unique perspective on life.So it was, certainly, with the Bastille. The destruction of the Bastille was not a reform; it was something more important than a reform. It was an iconoclasm; it was the breaking of a stone image. The people saw the building like a giant looking at them with a score of eyes, and they struck at it as at a carved fact. For of all the shapes in which that immense illusion called materialism can terrify the soul, perhaps the most oppressive are big buildings. Man feels like a fly, an accident, in the thing he has himself made. It requires a violent effort of the spirit to remember that man made this confounding thing and man could unmake it.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
