In the surreal London of the turn of the century, the poet Gabriel Syme is recruited by an anti-anarchist detachment at Scotland Yard. From this moment on, his bizarre and fast-paced mission will begin, in which he will have an objective as an undercover detective. Marta Gómez-Pintado's cartoon adaptation of Gilbert Keith Chesterton's well-known work addresses, with sharp wit and a particular sense of humor, a story in which anarchists and policemen are immersed in a series of crazy and disconcerting adventures that, beneath their absurd appearance, hide a deeper meaning. The originality of the approach, the freshness in the narrative development and its existential background make The Man Who Was Thursday a fundamental work.
