A detective story like no other -- thrilling, surreal, and profoundly moving.

First published in 1908, The Man Who Was Thursday: A Nightmare remains G.K. Chesterton's most famous novel -- a dazzling mix of political thriller, spiritual allegory, and dreamlike adventure. Gabriel Syme, a poet-turned-policeman, infiltrates a secret council of anarchists, only to discover that nothing is what it seems. What begins as a battle against chaos becomes a startling meditation on order, faith, and the mystery of good and evil.

Chesterton, best known as the creator of the beloved Father Brown stories, here delivers a work that continues to inspire writers from C.S. Lewis and Jorge Luis Borges to Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett.
