The Napoleon of Notting Hill
G. K. Chesterton
Gilbert Keith Chesterton is well-known for some of his
lighter works, particularly the famous Father Brown
mystery series, many of which have been turned into a
television show. He is also known for such nonfiction works
as St. Francis of Assisi and The Everlasting
Man. However, The Napoleon of Notting Hill was
his first novel, a piece of what might be called science
fiction (insofar as it is about the future), but which is
really more an exploration of timeless concepts than of
temporal situations. Long before Orwell made the year 1984
famous, Chesterton set this great story in that year,
exploring notions of local patriotism, war and peace, and
what happens when a man "finds a thing to love." A
humorous, yet deep novel worth reading.
