Book Description
It is very difficult to classify "The Man Who Was Thursday." It is possible to say that it is a gripping adventure story of murderous criminals and brilliant policemen; but it was to be expected that the author of the "Father Brown" stories should tell a detective story like no-one else. On this level, therefore, "The Man Who Was Thursday" succeeds superbly; if nothing else, it is a magnificent tour-de-force of suspense-writing. However, the reader will soon discover that it is much more than that. Carried along on the boisterous rush of the narrative by Chesterton's wonderful high-spirited style. You will soon see that you are being carried into much deeper waters than you planned on; and the totally unforeseeable denouement will prove, as it has for thousands of others since 1908 when the book was first published, an inevitable and moving experience, as the investigators finally discover who Sunday is.

Book Description
Mr. Chesterton is such a past-master in sophistries and casuistry, such a juggler of paradoxes, such an adept in the arts whereby the brilliant and quick-witted pull the wool over the eyes of their less gifted brethren, that he can give full and serious credibility to his tale of the astounding adventures of the detective who was admitted into the innermost circle of anarchists. It is the poetic anarchist, with hair like a Madonna's and the face of a prize-fighter, who tries (unsuccessfully) to become Thursday.

Book Description
Гилберт Кит Честертон – один из классиков английской литературы XX века, известный своими яркими персонажами, тонким юмором и необычными сюжетами. "Человек, который был Четвергом" – это сатирическая притча о вечном противостоянии анархистов и сторонников порядка, двух половинок человеческой сущности. Роман содержит в себе философскую составляющую, облачённую в сюрреалистическую обложку абсурда, а читатель до самого конца не подозревает, к чему же приведёт сюжет...
