The Four Men - A Farrago

This masterful volume from Anglo-French writer, Hilaire Belloc, details the 90-mile pilgrimage of four men, each character representing a different aspect of the author’s personality.

The Four Men: A Farrago follows the long pilgrimage of the characters Myself, Grizzlebeard, the Poet, and the Sailor as they journey on foot across Sussex, England. Across the span of five days, this enchanting and deeply emotional novel explores the inner workings of Hilaire Belloc’s mind and displays the author’s love of his childhood home. The book opens with Belloc directly addressing the county of Sussex and he spends much of the novel expressing his sadness at the recent diminishing of Sussex’s traditional customs. A poignant homage, The Four Men: A Farrago was first published in 1911.
