Description

After a librarian, Michael Herne, participates in a medieval pageant, he becomes enamored with chivalry and adopts the persona of Don Quixote. As Herne challenges the contemporary world's cynicism, his quest examines the tension between romantic dreams and reality, illuminating Chesterton's wit and insight into the enduring struggle between past ideals and present pragmatism.

Author

Gilbert Keith Chesterton was an English writer, often referred to as the prince of paradox. Chesterton is well known for his fictional priest-detective Father Brown, and for his reasoned apologetics. Even some of those who disagree with him have recognized the wide appeal of such works as Orthodoxy and The Everlasting Man. Chesterton's wit, paradoxical style, and defence of tradition made him a dominant figure in early 20th-century literature.
