GK Chesterton, newspaper columnist and charismatic author of almost 80 books, was fearless in going against the mainstream. The Everlasting Man, written in 1925, is an insightful and provocative examination of the spiritual history of humankind and of Western civilization. Is man just another animal, simply a by-product of evolution? Or does he have great purpose and significance? In The Everlasting Man, Chesterton probes this and other questions with humour, wit and insight.
