Full facsimile of the original edition, not reproduced with Optical Recognition Software. \"The Man Who Was Thursday: A Nightmare\" is a novel by G. K. Chesterton, first published in 1908. The book is sometimes referred to as a metaphysical thriller. Although it deals with anarchists, the novel is not an exploration or rebuttal of anarchist thought; Chesterton's ad hoc construction of \"Philosophical Anarchism\" is distinguished from ordinary anarchism and is referred to several times not so much as a rebellion against government but as a rebellion against God. The novel has been described as \"one of the hidden hinges of twentieth-century writing, the place where, before our eyes, the nonsense-fantastical tradition of Lewis Carroll and Edward Lear pivots and becomes the nightmare-fantastical tradition of Kafka and Borges.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50101541896415,"sku":"9781614270126","price":9.25,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0813\/8958\/4607\/files\/VUltelRTMXh3UVNXM0xNTERYSFF1QT09.webp?v=1781071688","url":"https:\/\/blackandbarhe.com\/products\/the-man-who-was-thursday-a-nightmare-paperback","provider":"Black \u0026 Barhe Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
