A Story of Intrigue, Mystery, Anarchy and Terror
“Shall I tell you the secret of the whole world? It is that we have only known the back of the world. We see everything from behind, and it looks brutal. That is not a tree, but the back of a tree. That is not a cloud, but the back of a cloud. Cannot you see that everything is stooping and hiding a face? If we could only get round in front--” ― G.K. Chesterton, The Man Who Was Thursday
The Man Who Was Thursday: A Nightmare by G.K. Chesterton is part spy narrative, part dystopian novel and part Christian allegory. When Gabriel Syme is recruited to join by Scotland Yard to a secret anti-anarchist police corps, he discovers a world of unknown allegiances and powerful adversaries.
