The Man Who Was Thursday
by G.K. Chesterton

A surreal detective story that begins with a poet-turned-policeman drawn into a secret council of anarchists. What follows is a whirlwind of disguises, pursuits, and philosophical riddles, as the line between order and chaos begins to blur. Both absurd and profound, Chesterton’s novel is a metaphysical thriller that questions the very nature of identity, authority, and reality itself. Written by G.K. Chesterton — essayist, satirist, Catholic apologist, and literary provocateur — The Man Who Was Thursday reflects his singular ability to cloak deep theological and philosophical questions in the guise of playful narrative. Part spy story, part fever dream, it remains one of his most enduring and enigmatic works.
