The Everlasting Man: Book Guide, Author and Facts
The Everlasting Man by Gilbert Keith Chesterton: plot, author, genre and where to read, in one evergreen guide.
The Everlasting Man is inspired by H. G. Wells’ The Outline of History, which explains the history of mankind and religion as solely a product of natural selection and other material causes. In contrast, G. K.

Written in Chesterton’s typical style, already familiar to readers of Orthodoxy and Heretics, and ripe with humor and symbolism, The Everlasting Man
