This classic novel by the brilliant G. K. Chesterton tells the rollicking tale of Innocent Smith, a man who may be crazy - or possibly the most sane man of all. Beautifully written, mixing the ridiculous with the profound, Chesterton demonstrates why life is worth living, and that sometimes we need a little madness just to know we are alive.

"Chesterton's truths play leapfrog with one another, but they always land squarely on their feet. Nowhere is this more apparent than in this hilarious story to which he has given the characteristic title, Manalive,"
---Catholic World .
