The Man Who Was Thursday

More about the book

Set against a backdrop of anarchism, the narrative unfolds as a metaphysical thriller that explores a rebellion not just against government, but against God. G. K. Chesterton’s 1908 novel intricately weaves elements of fantasy and philosophical inquiry, positioning itself as a crucial link between the whimsical styles of Lewis Carroll and Edward Lear and the darker, surreal tones of Kafka and Borges. This unique blend of themes and influences marks it as a significant work in twentieth-century literature.
