Excerpt from A Miscellany of MenThere is something creepy in the flat Eastern Counties; a brush of the white feather. There is a stillness, which is rather of the mind than of the bodily senses. Rapid changes and sudden revelations of scenery, even when they are soundless, have something in them analogous to a movement of music, to a crash or a cry. Mountain hamlets spring out on us with a shout like mountain brigands. Comfortable valleys accept us with open arms and warm words, like comfortable innkeepers. But travelling in the great level lands has a curiously still and lonely quality; lonely even when there are plenty of people on the road and in the market-place.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

About the Author Gilbert Keith Chesterton was born in London, England, in 1874. He went on to study art at the Slade School, and literature at University College in London. Chesterton wrote a great deal of poetry, as well as works of social and literary criticism. Among his most notable books are "The Man Who Was Thursday", a metaphysical thriller, and "The Everlasting Man", a history of humankind's spiritual progress. After Chesterton converted to Catholicism in 1922, he wrote mainly on religious topics such as "Orthodoxy" and "Heretics". Chesterton is most known for creating the famous priest-detective character Father Brown, who first appeared in "The Innocence of Father Brown". Chesterton died in 1936 at the age of 62.

1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Mixed Bag By Brad Shorr GK presents a series of brief sketches of various British types, providing insightful social commentary in the process. The cumulative effect is a fairly good portrait of English life in the early 1900's, but with a good deal less of the wit and tight reasoning that you see in most of his other works. On the other hand, there are a few sections that are as eloquent and insightful as anything I've read of GK. A real problem is that this particular edition contains no footnotes whatsoever. This makes it quite difficult to understand the full sense of GK's ideas, since the book is chock-full of obscure (today) references. Also this addition has typos all over the place.

Chesterton's "A Miscellany of Men" ranks as one of his best works as he offers essays covering just about everything under the sun from his finally finding a fool to his reactions to a fire in the neighborhood to his thoughts on mummers and masks. Chesterton is also at his most humorous as he transforms a Wordsworth poem into an ode to cheese and he writes about revisiting a house where he once scrawled funny poems on the walls. Of course, this being Chesterton, there are deeper meanings in all the funny stories and unforgettable sketches that he presents. Dale Ahlquist of the American Chesterton Society presents a solid introduction. Once again, readers are in debt to IHS Press which has restored yet another wonderful book into circulation.

I was surprised by the way the book was printed. There is a table of content but no page numbers...I should have looked at this aspect before I chose. And now I understand why I like real bookstores!
