Produktbeschreibung

Tremendous Trifles is a fictional novel written by English writer G. K. Chesterton. The Editor of the DAILY NEWS, the publication where these brief sketches first appeared, has reprinted them. These are essentially sporadic diaries, which is all the author has ever been able to do. However how unimportant the subjects may be, they do have a motivation that runs through them. The reader's eye likely lands somewhere, such as a bedpost, lamppost, window blind, or wall, as it wanders heartily relieved from these pages. The essays throughout provoke laughs and blank looks as they introduce readers to a new viewpoint. Tremendous Trifles by G. K. Chesterton is a compilation of classic thoughts consolidated into a single draft and can be read by readers of any age.
