Synopsis "The Man Who Was Thursday: A Nightmare: The Original 1908 Edition"

G.K. Chesterton was one of the most prolific writers of the 20th century, writing across numerous genres. His many newspaper columns, his detective stories, his philosophical analysis, and his theological exposition once made him a household name. Though not as well known today, each generation discovers Chesterton anew, and in doing so, finds that Chesterton's writings, even if it is his fiction, apply in their time as well as in Chesterton's time. Chesterton's 1908 clever classic, "The Man Who Was Thursday: A Nightmare," is as good of an introduction into Chesterton as any.

G. K. Chesterton (London, May 29, 1874 – Beaconsfield, June 14, 1936) was a prolific British writer, author of essays, novels, poetry, biographies, and Christian apologetics. His work is characterized by irony, paradoxical wit, and a critical view of modernity. He was a prominent convert to Catholicism and an influential figure in religious and literary thought of his time. He is also known for his brilliant argumentative style and his defense of common sense.

Among his most recognized works are The Man Who Was Thursday (1908), Orthodoxy (1908), The Innocence of Father Brown (1911), Heretics (1905), The Ball and the Cross (1909), and The Resurrection of Rome (1930). He cultivated the essay, the novel of ideas, detective stories, and social and religious criticism.
