«El hombre que fue Jueves» is the novel by G. K. Chesterton published by Fondo de Cultura Económica in 2010, with 199 pages, in Spanish.
The novel follows detective and poet Gabriel Syme in his pursuit of an anarchist conspiracy through a symbolic London. Beneath its appearance of a suspenseful detective story, Chesterton builds an allegorical comedy about good and evil, with humor and irony toward the philosophy of Nietzsche, Schopenhauer, and the anarchism of his time.
Work originally published in 1908 as «The Man Who Was Thursday: A Nightmare»; its usual subtitle in Spanish is «Una pesadilla».
For readers of classics of literature and thought, with intrigue and humor; also fits in reading clubs.
Gilbert Keith Chesterton was an English Christian apologist writer. Chesterton's wit, paradoxical style, and defence of tradition made him a dominant figure in early 20th-century literature.
