Chesterton\u003cbr\u003eThe thirty-nine short essays that make up Chesterton's delightful book are the result of sitting still and letting marvels and adventures settle on him like flies. Actually, the author does move around quite a bit--to Germany, France, and on foot in England when he tires of waiting for a train. Everywhere he goes, Chesterton looks at ordinary things and asks us to see how extraordinary they are: the contents of his pockets, the items in a railway station, pedestrians in the street. What appear to be trifles are actually tremendous, and he uses them as a springboard to expound on Christianity, the nuclear family, democracy, and the like with supreme clarity and wit. \u003cbr\u003eThe essays gathered here are a testament to G. K. Chesterton's faith--not his faith in religion or a higher power, but in the ability to discover something wonderful in the objects, the experiences, and the people that cross our paths every single day. With his unique brand of humor and insight, he demonstrates how the commonplace adds enormous value to the landscape of daily life. Full of both good sense and nonsense, Chesterton's commentaries--first published nearly a century ago--remain fresh today.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 224\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.44 x 8.5 x 5.4 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e June 05, 2007\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47331171303673,"sku":"9780486454757","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2782\/3097\/files\/b1lCU0hTcmxmaGVVd1h6WmlOaDkzdz09_dbfc1f77-71ae-4f70-a331-b2eafa90aa65.webp?v=1769611438","url":"https:\/\/bookscloud.io\/products\/tremendous-trifles-paperback-9","provider":"BooksCloud Book Dropshipping","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
