The Man Who was Thursday

The Man Who was Thursday

ByG. K. Chesterton

A small, well-cut literary gem -- a tour de force (no pun, of course) involving a non-secret terrorist organization, guns, bombs, swords, chase scenes by carriage and balloon, two poets, six ambiguous spy-types, and the supremely scary "Mister 7." Good fun and more -- good literature! This is an Easy-Read Large Print Ebook. Read it easily even if you have low vision -- partial sight -- or if your sight is "normal" but you hate to squint at tiny text on your computer screen. If you know Father Brown (with Flambeau etc.) or Horne Fisher (who knew too much) or the paradoxical Mr. Pond, you'll not be surprised that this whimsical detective-police-anarchist adventure story is a model in its literary genre. But only as the plot and mood of the chase keep subtly shifting -- more comic and more cosmical -- do we finally realize that Chesterton has shot out from the fire of his wit a bold answer to the ultimate "Who done it?"
