«The Man Who Was Thursday» is the mystery and espionage novel by G. K. Chesterton, published by Wordsworth Editions in paperback (184 pages, in English).
Gabriel Syme, poet and undercover policeman, infiltrates a club of anarchists who want to destroy the world order. Their leaders bear the names of the days of the week and drag him into a chase through early twentieth-century London. The work combines humour, suspense and paradoxes, with a reflection on good, evil and existence.
The work was originally published in 1908; the Wordsworth Classics edition is complete and dates from 1995.
Recommended for readers of classics and philosophical mystery, and for reading groups seeking debate.
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.
