The Man who was Thursday archiveA surreal thriller set in London at the turn of the century. The story, moving from action adventure to high-octane farce with a touch of nightmare terror just under the surface, is considered by many to be Chesterton's masterpiece. Our hero, Gabriel Syme, an undercover detective, infiltrates a secret council of revolutionaries, named after the days of the week. The group, led by the grotesque Sunday is dedicated to the destruction of society. Syme, posing as an anarchist, is voted in as the new Thursday and sets out to foil their plans and single handedly save his world.
