A reader today will be surprised by some elements and can be forgiven for judging the principal characters harshly, particularly in the final scenes. While I neglected reading the footnotes until the end, they are interesting and even a bit amusing. Compared to the unadulterated brutality of The Iliad, this story reveals more about the attitudes and cultural norms while still engaging the reader who is not skilled in Greek mythology. It also gives some insight into ourselves, the strong passions of family and the willingness to overcome terrible obstacles to get home.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful."Humour Is the New Religion of Mankind"By Paul CampG. K. Chesterton's (1874-1936) _The Napoleon of Notting Hill_ (1904) was his first novel. It was subtitled "A Fantasy of the Future" and was set in 1984. But modern readers looking for obvious science fictional trappings in Chesterton's future world are likely to be disappointed. It is not a progressive scientific future of the sort that H.G. Wells wrote about. Nor is it an anticipation of Aldous Huxley's _Brave New World_ (1936). Like George Orwell, Chesterton did fear the dangers of an authoritarian state. But after that, any similarity of vision between Orwell and Chesterton comes to an end. Chesterton's vision of the future, by the time we are finished with it, will have an oddly masculine and medieval flavor to it.We are introduced to an England run by only a skeleton crew of government officials and police. One of these officials, Barker, gives his rationale for the use of "alphabetical monarchies" to run the country:"Suppose he is a tyrant-- he is still in check on a hundred tyrants. Suppose he is a cynic, it is to his interest to govern well. Suppose he is a criminal-- by removing poverty and substituting power, we put a check on his criminality. In short, by substituting despotism we have put a total check on one criminal and a partial check on all the rest." Barker goes on to say: He may not be a good man. But he will be a good despot. For when he comes to a mere business routine of government he will endeavor to do ordinary justice. Do we not assume the same of a jury" (24)But shortly afterward, another government official named Lambert has this response (which I hope is the same as yours):Lambert suddenly faced round and struck his stick into the ground in a defiant attitude."Auberon," he said, "chuck it. I won't have it. It's all bosh." (28)Well, it may be bosh. But society operates by that bosh and Auberon Quin is elected the new king; he is next in line alphabetically. Quin, who has heretofore treated all life as a massive joke, sees no reason to change his behavior now that he is king. Humor, Quin says, is the new religion of mankind. Almost nobody dares to question your humor for fear of appearing a fool.But an old, foreign king has warned that Quin is "a dangerous man". What does he mean by this "Every man is dangerous... who cares only for one thing" (25). A truly sane person is one who can entertain more than one contradictory mode of thought: the scientific thinker who is also a theosopher, for example. Religious fanatics, suicide bombers, radical political idealogues are _consistent_... but insane and dangerous. Quin's obsession with jokes soon leads to trouble.The king (for a joke) divides London up into charters or municipalities with their own uniforms and coats of arms. This leads to strife between sections of London where there was no strife before. No sooner has Quin instituted his policy than _another_ madman named Adam Wayne comes on stage and initiates a revolution against it. This being a Chesterton novel, as you might imagine, all the different factions end up collapsing together at the end.Perhaps some closing attention should be given to the influence of _Notting Hill_ on George Orwell's _1984_. Orwell had certainly read the novel; he wrote several essays on Chesterton. But it would certainly be a massive stretch to argue that Orwell's dystopia was a "reaction" to Chesterton's little comedy. Aside from the year in which they are set, there is no similarity between the two novels.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful."he is a man who cares for nothing but a joke. he is a dangerous man"By KrasneTigritsameet Auberon Quin. he is a man to whom the world is a punchline; a dangerous man, for he cares for nothing but a joke. and meet Adam Wayne-to whom the joke is quite serious. When Quin is appointed King of England, he proposes to divide England into medieval city-states-purely for the sake of the ever-important joke. when Adam Wayne is appointed Provost of Notting Hill, he proposes to be patriotic about it. amidst the chaos of confusion, the stirring speeches, the epic battles, and the all-pervading Chestertonian wit, The Napoleon of Notting Hill is(besides an awesome story) a cry for renewed life in a deadened world-a call that compels mankind to fight for the small things, if only for the sake of fighting for something. this is a book that argues to make mountains out of mole-hills, for the single and compelling reason that a mole-hill is only a heap of dirt, but a mountain is a stairway to the stars.P.Slike The Man Who Was Thursday, The Napoleon of Notting Hill seems to have been written on inspiration, and for the sake of hashing out an idea, more than to expound any particular creed.See all 106 customer reviews...
