Tremendous Trifles is comprised of 39 chapters, each functioning as
their own essay or story. With whimsical, light-hearted prose,
vivid figurative language, and unparalleled insight, Chesterton
covers a variety of philosophical principles of everyday life.
Chesterton often used ordinary events and objects to explain deeper
matters. Using relatable and accessible examples, Tremendous
Trifles also test biases and preconceived ideas, specifically in
the cases of fairy tales and folk lore. Stories of these genres are
passed down from generation to generation, changed each time they
are told, yet usually framed more optimistically than the original
tale. Chesterton encourages readers to question this, and examine
the implications the example may have on the other stories they
hear. Accompanying the suggestion to recognize bias, the importance
of one's point of view is also examined. In Tremendous Trifles,
Chesterton uses a metaphor to explain perspective. There are only
two ways to see the world-either as a giant, or as a nymph. One
sees all the wonders of the world as a speck of dust, the other is
in awe of a single blade of grass. While advocating for seeing the
beauty in simple, everyday encounters, Tremendous Trifles raises
thought-provoking questions and advises that sometimes a better
life is just a change of perspective away. Containing both essays
of importance and intrigue and stories of silly nature, Tremendous
Trifles is the perfect combination of excitement and understanding.
Written in a conversational and intimate format, Tremendous Trifles
by G.K Chesterton is a collection of essays and stories that
features philosophical theories of happiness, perspective, and
narratives. Described as thought-provoking and humorous, Tremendous
Trifles educates without the use intimidating or exclusive advice.
While celebrating simplicity and encouraging people to find joy in
the mundane, Tremendous Trifles uncovers truths about humankind
that have remained relevant to modern audiences. This edition of
Tremendous Trifles by G.K Chesterton is now presented in an
easy-to-read font and features a striking new cover design. With
these accommodations, Tremendous Trifles is restored to modern
standards while preserving its original ingenuity.
