The Man Who Was Thursday: a Nightmare: Annotated Edition: A Nightmare - The Annotated Edition, with an Introduction & Afterword on the Ending (Carrier Press Annotated Classics) - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

An undercover detective infiltrates a council of anarchists, and falls down a rabbit hole that has baffled and delighted readers for over a century.

Gabriel Syme is a poet and a policeman, sworn to destroy the secret Central Council of Anarchists, whose seven members are code-named for the days of the week. But nothing on that council is what it seems, and Syme's mission spirals into one of literature's strangest, funniest, most metaphysical chases. First published in 1908, The Man Who Was Thursday is Chesterton's cult masterpiece, a spy thriller that becomes a philosophical fever dream.

This Annotated Edition includes the complete novel, an original introduction, notes throughout, and the reason to choose this edition: an afterword that finally unpacks the famous ending, the "what did I just read?" companion other editions leave out.
