The Man Who Was Thursday (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781169268463)

The Man Who Was Thursday is a novel written by G.K. Chesterton, first published in 1908. The story follows the adventures of a man named Gabriel Syme, who is recruited by a secret anarchist organization to infiltrate and expose their activities. Syme is given the code name ""Thursday"" and becomes a member of the group's inner circle. However, as he delves deeper into the organization, he begins to uncover a series of bizarre and surreal events that challenge his understanding of reality. The novel is a philosophical exploration of the nature of anarchism, morality, and the human condition. It is also a gripping thriller with twists and turns that keep the reader guessing until the very end. The Man Who Was Thursday is widely regarded as one of Chesterton's greatest works and a classic of early 20th-century literature.""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.
