Synopsis "Tremendous Trifles"

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.

G. K. Chesterton (London, May 29, 1874 – Beaconsfield, June 14, 1936) was a prolific British writer, author of essays, novels, poetry, biographies, and Christian apologetics. His work is characterized by irony, paradoxical wit, and a critical view of modernity. He was a prominent convert to Catholicism and an influential figure in religious and literary thought of his time. He is also known for his brilliant argumentative style and his defense of common sense.

Among his most recognized works are The Man Who Was Thursday (1908), Orthodoxy (1908), The Innocence of Father Brown (1911), Heretics (1905), The Ball and the Cross (1909), and The Resurrection of Rome (1930). He cultivated the essay, the novel of ideas, detective stories, and social and religious criticism.
