{"product_id":"miscellany-of-men-by-g-k-chesterton","title":"A Miscellany of Men by G.K. Chesterton","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn one of the brief essays which make up this collection, Chesterton describes himself as 'a monstrously lazy man', and refers to one of his essays as 'fifteen hundred unimportant words'. In putting out this new edition of A Miscellany of Men the publishers are aware that, in Chesterton's eyes and in those of any but the most fanatical devotee, some of the essays contain an element of hack work. But anyone who disregards the essays on this score also deprives himself of delght in the discovery of those frequent occasions when the genius of Chesterton dismisses the hack. In other words, though there may be a few essays in this early collection which are not wholly excellent, there is none that is not well worth reading for a passage or a phrase which has that magic power of illuminating thought.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Book Express","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44163273818186,"sku":"6992aa","price":8.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0618\/9101\/8826\/files\/6992aa.jpg?v=1788756804","url":"https:\/\/www.bookexpress.nz\/products\/miscellany-of-men-by-g-k-chesterton","provider":"Book Express","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
