Publisher's Synopsis
The Man Who Was Thursday is a novel written by G.K. Chesterton. The story is set in London and follows the protagonist, Gabriel Syme, who is recruited by a secret anti-anarchist police force. Syme is assigned the task of infiltrating a group of anarchists who are planning to overthrow the government. The group is led by a mysterious figure known as Sunday. As Syme gets deeper into the group, he begins to question the true nature of their intentions and the identity of Sunday. The novel explores themes of identity, morality, and the nature of evil. Chesterton's writing style is characterized by his use of paradox and wit, which adds to the complexity of the story. The Man Who Was Thursday has been praised for its philosophical depth and its ability to keep readers guessing until the very end.""Excuse me if I enjoy myself rather obviously!"" he said to Gregory, smiling. ""I don't often have the luck to have a dream like this. It is new to me for a nightmare to lead to a lobster. It is commonly the other way.""This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
