When Innocent Smith arrives at a quiet London boarding house like a human whirlwind, he overturns every convention-and forces everyone around him to see ordinary life with new eyes. In Manalive, the residents of Beacon House have settled into lives of respectable boredom until the eccentric Innocent Smith bursts into their midst. He organizes picnics on rooftops, fires a revolver at pessimists, breaks into houses, and behaves with such joyful disregard for convention that his new companions are unsure whether he is a madman, a criminal, or a kind of saint. When Smith is accused of attempted murder, burglary, desertion, and bigamy, the household stages an improvised trial to uncover the truth. What emerges is stranger and more surprising than the charges themselves. Smith has made it his mission to recover the wonder of familiar things by leaving home only to rediscover it, courting his own wife as though meeting her for the first time, and treating life as an adventure rather than a burden. First published in 1912, Manalive is one of G. K. Chesterton's most exuberant and philosophically playful novels. Beneath its comedy and absurdity lies a serious argument about gratitude, marriage, freedom, imagination, and the danger of allowing routine to drain the world of meaning.
