The Man Who Was Thursday

Sometimes described as thrilling, sometimes as comic, and sometimes as metaphysical or spiritual, The Man Who Was Thursday is perhaps a little of each. The tale begins when an undercover policeman infiltrates a mysterious Anarchist group. As the novel progresses, things become more comic and improbable, and eventually settle in to as sort of abstract, dreamlike state. Filled with Christian allegory, Thursday is a glittering, fascinating exploration of good versus evil and theology through the lens of adventure, wit, and the surreal.

    It is brilliant example of sophisticated approach to tell story about trivial plot by language and adjective saturated palette that forge page by page hidden bundle of extra meanings and references to history of human thinking.
