The Man Who Was Thursday G. K. Chesterton
ISBN: 978-0141191461 Год издания: 2011 Издательство: Penguin Books Ltd. Язык: Английский Part surrealistic comedy, part psychological thriller, G. K.

Chesterton’s surreal masterpiece is a psychological thriller that centers on seven anarchists in turn-of-the-century London who call themselves by the names of the days of the week. Chesterton explores the meanings of their disguised identities in what is a fascinating mystery and, ultimately, a spellbinding allegory. As Jonathan Lethem remarks in his Introduction, The real characters are the ideas.
